How do most of you feel about fast food?

Question

If you're really against it, do you still eat there? Also, why do you feel the way you do about it?

I personally am against practically all fast food restaurants and will not eat at any of them.

I agree, it is disgusting how they get kids hooked at an early age. You're lucky toodle that your kids don't beg for it. I remember that when I was a kid, because I was so attracted to the playground and happy meal toys, I'd always beg to go to McDonalds.

Answer 1

I think they are repulsive - nutritionally, taste-wise and morally.

"Food" is supposed to be nourishment. There is absolutely no excuse for eating fast food other than entertainment. Eating for entertainment is a sick, twisted mentality - albeit sometimes subconcious.

And don't even get me started on their marketing agendas...

Answer 2

Yes, I think it's garbage that should be treated like candy and eaten sparingly. I do eat it sometimes, like with friends on the go. I always feel sick after eating it too and just nasty all over. It makes you stink and your poop stink horribly too. I just don't trust any food in a box really, even if I do eat it. I have no clue where it was made or what the place was like, who touched it, how old it is or what was done to the ingredients. I was raised on a farm and had fresh fruits and vegetables abundantly, so I know what good tastes like. I think some people just don't know what good food taste like, so they don't understand all of the fuss about fast food being bad. If they ate really fresh food that was good, they would quickly catch on.

Answer 3

Most fast food joints are trying( and I mean trying) to add more helthy choices although the fat and calorie content is still pretty high. What makes almost any meal bad is the portion sizes. The portion sizes you get in the U.S. is sometimes TRIPLE the portions in Europe. Your best bet is to get the kiddie size meals. I do eat at fast food on occasion simply for the convenience. My kids really don't care for most fast food (McDonalds, Hardees, Wendys etc) guess I am just lucky they don't beg for it.

Answer 4

I love wendys the food is great! I love the Chicken sandwiches yummy but I do have to say that it s pretty rare that i eat there I don't like bk or mcdonalds I only like them for the entertainment during bad weather for my kids and wont eat much of anything there and I love subway bc they have a great lowfat menu by the way i can say that wendys is usually pretty clean and the food is fresh nothing added to keep things looking "right" as someone said I know b/c I've worked there

Answer 5

I hate fast food. I don't eat there at all. They put chemicals in the salad vegetables so they stay crunchy and the 'right' color. Also, the industry uses so much land for their cattle farms, it's so horrible. I also think it's messed up how they target children so they get hooked at an early age.
It's just completely disgusting.

Answer 6

I'm not against fast food but I don't eat this too much - perhaps only twice a month or less than 10x a year. I don't think there's anything wrong with them or millions of people would have been killed by now

Answer 7

I have bought stuff at fast food restaurants at least once a year for the past 30 years.

I still have to watch the LDLs.

Answer 8

I'm like you- I usually go to fast food restaurants only a few time a YEAR. Even when they say no trans fat, the stuff they use to replace the yuk is even worse for you! Fast food restaurants are unhealthy AND the food tastes like YUK! Bleh...

Answer 9

Some people really don't have much of a choice..For me I can't stand for long periods of time without going tachy...and my drs have told me to stay in bed...So I usually have my husband pick up something and it's not what I always want, but it's what I have to contend with.....I wish there were more healthier places where a person could pick up a good meal without all the fat etc....

Answer 10

i prefer fast food when im running out of time to cook at home..

i only eat healthy fast foods ones >:p
