The main focus as of recently on fast food is childhood obseity and that relating to Diabetes II in children; which is growing, Google, "childhood obesity". And you'll come up with tons of stuff.
For additional sources, you can also rent :

They're filled with preservatives and fat. It's all mostly processed meats and cheeses. Even the salads are high calorie with the dressings they use,unless its the low fat one. Too much fast food is not good for you. I gave it up last July, and even though I'm craving it like crazy, I do resist. I've lost a lot of weight also, so I just keep telling myself that it's worth it.

Something to think about. The U.S. government (fda) allows restaurants to put additives in food that can actually make the food addictive...... therefore, making you crave it & gain lots of weight.
Well, in turn; doctors make tons of money trying to help overweight people. And, of course; the government gets tons of taxes from this money!!! So, why do YOU think this is allowed to continue??

How about the fact that it isn't nutritional? There is way too much fat, calories, carbs and sodium than you need in an entire DAY in alot of fast food items. No wonder half of America is considered obese.

Not that I should help you with your homework, but I think fast food should be cut down because it makes people too fat/overweight, and the food causes other health problems, like diabetes and heart disease. There's just too much fat, grease, cholesterol and sugar in fast food.

have you ever watched the movie "supersize me", or read the book "fast food nation?" theres a ZILLION reasons why you shouldn't eat fast food!
i would focus on the fact that the US is the fattest country in the world..and also the most fast-food consuming.
and that fast food industries are cruel to animals
aaand that it wastes a lot of resources

- obesity, food is fatty
- artificial flavouring and colouring can cause cancer if too much is consumed, that or some other disease.
- greasy, could be bad for the heart and a person's skin (clogged veins/ arteries and more blackhead/zits)
- alot of it is processed, store bought food/ homemade meals are healthier cuz you know what you are making and what's in the food
