Should I be eating that fast food? – Part 2

Author: Well that depends. Do you value your health as much as all of the other strong facets in your life? If that answer is yes then you’d naturally speed away Nascar style from the drive thru. Just imagine trillions of french fries in the form of zigzags descending from the sky…now wake up because its such unhealthy thoughts that you have to wipe clean and dry from your imagination.
Fast Food has such a hypnotizing effect on the mainstream American population it’s no wonder they soar in profits. Just think how many zombies would be marching their arms and feet forward towards a McDonalds in Toonsilvania while the owls howl sporadically? I wouldn’t know either. The main reason why many peoples minds fall prey towards fast food in the first place is because it’s Fast with a capital F! Preparing a juicy hamburger is the cheapest of all processes.
The beef and chicken patties are exported to the restaurant so all they have to do is just grill it up and then toss in the lettuce, tomatoes, onions, cheese, and voila, the hamburger is served. It’s almost like preparing one yourself within a five minutes time span. And once you’ve gulped down one of these tender burgers hyena style, you’re bound to make effortless trips for the next subsequent days. What’s more. The trips will only begin to multiply and all of a sudden you’re at risk for obesity
“Obesity, huh?” asks the Hamburgler, “Obesity means all of the fat layers that you’ve developed around your body after smuggling and eating all of those hamburgers” says Dr. X. Well kids the hamburgler is a perfect example of as to why you guys shouldn’t be tiptoeing to a fast food restaurant late in the night. Fast food contains large amounts of trans fat which is known to cause weight gain.
In fact, various studies show that a meal consisting of a big juicy burger, fries, and a large coke equal approximately 1500 calories, which leads to about a 10% increase in body fat. Scary huh? Imagine how many workouts it will take to reduce that amount. But stop because it isn’t just the caloric intake information that startles people, what about the grease that piles up on the patty along with the hormones and other pesticides that aren’t removed prior to processing. It could happen. Neglecting this caloric intake information can eventually lead to heart disease as you age so it’s wise to simply stop eating fast food or to curtail your visits before things run out of hand. Anxiety and depression are two other major signs that present itself within you when you don’t listen to your nutritionist so beware!
On a final note it would be splendid if parents condemned their children from happy meals. After all wouldn’t it be wise to promote good health early on. Happy meals are nothing but scams that these fast food giants pull in racking up profits. This will give the adults more reasons to go and they only stroke their healths in the process. It’s all in the marketing so educate your kids in the hazards of eating such foods and instead feed them foods like brocolli and spinach, so this way the next time Ronald McDonald says JUMP the kids will fire their toy pistols at him.
There is, however, a such thing as a hearthrob fast food restaurant. Take Subway and Quizons for instance. These two rank among the top franchises in the U.S. This is because their menus profit our health. And the sexiest part is that it’s still Fast with a capital F! So why don’t you steer you’re mind away from a McDonalds or Burger King and steer it towards a local Subway or Quiznos so this way you can get your moneys’, times’, and healths’ worth.
