Answer 1

No. I eat at fast food places when I need convenience not when I'm being heatlh conscious.

Answer 2

I try not to eat fast food but I wouldn't stop because of their refusale to post their calories. I figure, you kind of know what you're getting into if you stop for a Big Mac or a Whopper. You're at least looking at 500-1000 calories easy.

You can find all the info on the web anyway.

Answer 3

Almost every fast food establishment has a list of nutritional facts readily available on the Internet. They aren't required to post them in their restaurants and most don't because it would be a potential deterrent to customers. Seriously, who would go into a Burger King and order a quad stacker after noting on the chart that it is packed with 1000 calories and 64g of fat?

Answer 4

No, I will not. Whenever I go to a fast food place, I never expect to get a healthy meal. I know I am getting tons of calories, fat, and sodium. I don't look at calorie postings to decide between the Quarter Pounder and Cheese or the Double Cheeseburger.

Healthy and fast food just don't go.

Answer 5

Of course not. I know Fast food is bad for me. I don't understand why Fast food is being singled out. You can go to Claim Jumper and order a dinner entree that has 2500 calories because of the huge portions, but no one seems to care about that.

Answer 6

No. I have those calorie charts in my head well enough to know what I am eating. Let me give you a clue - anything that is fried or dipped in batter and fried and that comes inside a fat roll, and accompanied by super-sized fried potatoes and a thick shake is not your lo-calorie treat. It is closer to half your day's calories in one skimpy fast-food treat. I don't need a chart on the wall to tell me that.

Answer 7

Nah I dont eat fast food on a regular basis. I know that fast food is high in fat and calories so I know what I am getting into when I do it.

Answer 8

No, but I think you can get many of the calories for fast foods on the internet, I guess just do your research!
I don't eat there much anyway.

Answer 9

Nope - It's more of a convenience choice than a health choice. And actually, I have been to a McDonald's that had some of the calorie and health info on the product. (like on the fry box that was served to the costumer.)

Answer 10

i dont think its that they refuse to tell people the amount of calories. i think if someone were to ask they would tell a consumer what they want. I personally am health conscious but i am not a label reader. I know a grilled chicken breast is heathier then a fried chicken breast.... so i order the grilled onw with no mayo etc.
