Fast Food Discussion

Postby Acharastan » Tue Sep 09, 2014 2:55 pm

Do you think Fast Food is Convenient (so it's good) or Unhealthy (so it's bad)?

It's no contest that fast food is convenient. If your running late and need something to eat, just go through the McDonalds drive-thru. I honestly think that Fast Food is good in controlled amounts. Though getting a baked potato and a salad at Wendy's is pretty healthy (compared to other fast food places).

What's your opinion on fast food?

There are only three S's in "discussion."

I like fast food well enough. Not as a regular diet but now and then.

I should like to note before someone sources "Supersize me" the movie as to why fast food is bad you should know the movie is bullshit. They have never been able to replicate the results whatsoever.

Good in moderation I guess.

I like the occasional Arby's or KFC but too much is just sickening.

It's convenient, but it's unhealthy and kind of disgusting to eat it regularly.

Thanks for the help with my spelling. I've never been good at spelling/grammar and the "Subject" section doesn't have spellcheck, so thanks for telling me before the "grammar nazis" invade.

Fast food shouldn't be part of a regular diet, but most people make it that way because of it's convenience. If only they made something healthy, cheap, and delicious.....

I love me some fast food. McDanks, Burger King, DQ and A&W are my favorites.

Robins and Tim Hortons too, if they count.

I'd rather go get some chinese/indian takeaway than hit up a Mcdonalds.

Chinese takeaway is about the same price for me (as I'm Canadian, and I don't eat any red meat), so it's a no-brainer.

Personally, I think it can be convenient, but incredibly unhealthy, gross, and unethical. Personally, I only like In-n-out, all the other fast food places taste disgusting, don't pay their workers enough, and (especially for McDonald's, the worst of the worst) often pollute, and contribute to the deforestation oof the Amazon, thus I boycott these places, except for In-n-Out.

Yes! Relatively Cheap (Indian is especially cheap where I live) Pure Deliciousness is WAYYY better than grossness any day.

I'm addicted to fast food. My favorites are Mcdonalds and KFC. I eat it as often as I can. It's not actually bad for you, health food stores just lie and stuff. French fries are vegetables and chicken has protein in it so they are healthy.

Chinese food is good, but it tends to give me stomach issues shortly after eating it. I prefer Japanese food nowadays.

Fast food is good on a healthy basis if you exercise reguarly. If not you want to get fat and die. Sorry about the honesty but fatty food related heart attacks are ridiculesly high.
