The other day I posted a legillimate question about a fast food item and all I got was thirty people lecturing me on how fast food and soda will kill you and how its unhealthy!!! DUH! Of course it's bad for you but it if you don't eat if every day it's not that bad. Just eat it once a week or maybe twice a week with lots of healthy foods and exercise in between. I mean, their was obesity before fast food, right?
Does anybody else get sick of all these nutritonal nazis online and in the real world that are trying to control what everybody else eats? I know a lot of people in real life that do that!

I agree that fast food is not healthy, but hey, life is short. Everybody deserves a treat once and while. What I am saying is that if you eat fast food once or twice a week and as long as you eat healthier the rest of the week, you should be fine. I eat a lot of fast food but I work out and I am always on the move, I'm a special education teacher, whew that will take it out of you, so I am at a healthy weight. I'm just sick of whenever I come to the fast food section, all you see is people preaching about how fast food is so bad and will kill you. And yes, there is a fast food section. I come here a lot because I worked at one through college so I can answer a lot of people's questions, like teens, that want to know about what its like to work at one.

The problem is these people have no idea about freedom, and personal choice! They want everyone to think like they do, and if you disagree with them, they think you are stupid or need to be educated!
The fact is we all make choices every day! I may choose to eat something that you do not think I should, but as a free adult, I can make the choice!!
Some of these socialists want to go so far as to ban fast food, or require that it be totally changed! If people wanted healthy food rather than tasty food, someone could sell it and make a fortune! There is not the demand for food that tastes like cardboard and dirt, but people will pay for a burger and fries!The free market will provide what people want!
And to make it clear, I can not stand the useless little twits who want to preach against fast food!!

Yes! It's so annoying, it's like they think that if you eat there once you'll gain 5 pounds and have a heart attack! As long as you eat there occationally and don't overdo on everything, then it really isn't that bad! Plenty of healthy people go to fast food places sometimes! The last time I walked into a fast food restaurant it wasn't full of obese people. Some people need to get a life and realize that you only live once. Treat yourself to a burger and fries once in awhile, and you'll be fine. I wish they understood that!
(Also I hate all the people who watched to movie supersize me and think that 1 trip to mcdonalds is going to kill them. I mean that guy ate there everyday, 3 times a day, of cource he's going be fat and unhealthy at the end!)

Yes.
We have this Chef called Jamie Oliver in the UK who went on a School Dinners crusade to get fattening food out of School dinner Halls and replace it with salad, fruit, veg etc etc. Fair enough. But he has just gone over the top. He recently said that any parent who allowed their child to eat crisps (potato chips) or chocolate was a "tosser and an ********"
The stupid man obviously can't seem to understand that actually eating these things *occasionally* isn't going to hurt anyone!!
I ate them as a child but I also ate healthy food and was very active and I have never been "obese" in my life. I'm actually underweight. Unlike Mr Chubby Tubby "who ate all the pies" Oliver who looks like he enjoys a MaccyD's or two.
I don't understand the whole "you must never eat any processed food ever full stop" thing. Whats wrong with a balance - everything in moderation? Don't eat McDonalds every day OBVIOUSLY but as long as you eat well most of the time a bit of junk food now and then won't kill you.
And also the fact that people do have different metabolisms. I have a very fast metabolism and am very very active so I can eat lots of fattening food but never put weight on, I never have - its a trait that runs in our family (dad and brother exactly the same). I know people who gain 10 pounds if they so much as look at a bar of chocolate or a pizza. So they have to eat accordingly. I don't.

I know what you mean... You think people on here preaching about it is bad, its even worse when someone you know is preaching to you and staying stuff like well I want to eat fast food but I am fat so I can't but you can because you are skinny.... You know you can eat at fast food and still get a helthy choice... a salas, a water, a baked patato.... Also what makes me mad is when I ask a question asking if Mcdonalds hires at 15 and I get 20 or so answers and most of them are saying, yeah you can but don't throw your life away like that... or don't because you need to stay in school and get good grades!!

Yes it does get kinda annoying when you are a person who watches your weight, exercises, and then when you eat a little fast food people act like you are obese and shouldn't be eating it... I mean if you are over weight then you shouldn't be eating fast food but if your the kind of person who can watch your weight even when you eat fast food every now and then, then it is really no big deal!

Yea i agree with you on this everything is ok within moderation although fast food contributes to obesity, so does being lazy!I think a lot of men and women have an unrealistic notion of how they should look and ususally its related to who we see in the media. Im sick of hearing about fad diets and how we need to count calories in case we end up in an early grave I think those who control what the eat religiously, do it because they are not in control of anything else in their lives! dont listen to the 'nutritional nazis;' eat what u like just balance it out!

Whoever is say that stuff is stupid. It is not good to eat fast food all the time, but you can't die from drinking soda alot. You got to make sure it is not the only thing you drink. You should drink water the most.

No, there wasn't really obesity before fast food. Not the way it is now.

You can look at this two ways. The first being that people are educated about nutrition and would like to educate you with their experience. Or in the alternative, they just want to shove their opinions (while they are solicited by you) down your throat. Just like opinions on religion, politics and raising children. Take it or leave it, darling...We are on an open forum, so get use to the idea of the possibility of SEVERAL opinions. Don't get mad and don't take it too seriously. How many opinions of people that you don't know actually count to you?
