"Fast Food" is loaded with MSG, which is addictive.
Poison + Addiction/Withdrawal = mood alteration. Do the math.

Well, without knowing precisely what you normally eat and how much versus what you ate those two days, it would be really hard to give you any sort of answer.
Usually those symptoms are from PMS - but can happen around the time you ovulate as well. They also can occur to people who have chronic low blood sugar - hypoglycemia. If the last one clicks, then there is basic information about hypoglycemia on www.hufa.org. Otherwise, I don't have a good answer for you.

The problem for you was not the fat, it was the sodium. The amount sodium in an average fast food will dehydrate you which can affect your morale. That mized with the trans fat and you are not feeling so great in the digestive track.
Eat a salad and some fruit. Drink an extra glass of water and you should be okay.

The fats found in fast food are not easily processed by the body and can cause discomfort and irregularity in your body as it tries to work on breaking them down. In other words, yes, there is something wrong with it, and it can have a negative affect on your health.
The bad news is I eat it way too much.

I always feel crappy after I eat fast food and I know it's not PMS either, so yeah, maybe it's just the horrible quality of the disgusting quickly made food.

It could be. But fast food isn't bad for ANYONE. It's the lifestyle they choose. Some people eat it constantly and then sit on their butts and never exercise. Then they SUE McDonald's for being fat loads??? Insanity. I can eat it once in a while, but I wouldn't eat it every day.

i don't think it has to do with the fast food, possibly it gave u energy and made u hyper which can sometimes make u uneasy and restless and in your case moody. This is my theory i hoped this helped!

fast food is processed food and has lots of fat and stuff that is not good for you! I try to avoid it has much as i possibly can. I also avoid the fries with the grease that they use to cook the potatoes that usually are good for you!

Most fast food is high in calories, saturated fat (the bad kind), trans fats (the worst kind), simple carbohydrates (the bad kind), sodium, white/processed flour (the bad kind), and/or sugar.
Bad food produces bad results in your body, which can in turn affect your emotions.

Depends what you had... If it was a burger, fries and pizza, then it is likely your body didn't receive the fibre and nutrients it is used to.
Things like subway or baked potatoes (with a bean and salad filling) are ok occaisionally
