Fast food

[ke1985]

How many times a week do you eat fast food (Mcdonald's, Wendy's BK)?

Are you aware of the ingredients in each item?

I am against eating all fast food!

 

[LovesToBless]

We don't.

Subway is good, or some specialty local deli's. BK and MD are nasty and I usually feel sick after eating there.

Occasionally, but not as often as I used to. I am aware how unhealthy it is and I don't avoid it because of it. It's mostly because it's not as tasty as what my wife cooks for dinner and I have the other meals handled already.

Maybe twice a month.

It depends and yes, I am aware. When I buy food I analyze every label looking for hidden meanings. I try to go organic and avoid any code words for MSG and other junk.

Same here. I looked up the ingredients in mcdonalds and wendys and I was shocked. So many additives and artifical junk.

Europe has fast food but without engineered ingredients.

Its fast, its cheap, and it tastes good. Other than if you want to live forever and eat like a rabbit, fast food is among life's greatest conveniences in the modern age.

I do maybe twice a month, but not BK. I usually get sick after BK, it's not worth it to me. If you know someone who's addicted a good movie to watch is "Super size Me". This guy eats only McDonalds for 30 days for every meal. And documents the whole thing. Doctors are also involved. We didn't eat McD.s for 3 months after that.
I do know what's in the food. That's why we don't eat it much.

Rarely to never. I don't object to occasional fast-food eating (occcasional being the operative word) but it doesn't do it for me. Now, a nice bar of chocolate is a different matter.

We don't eat it as much as we used to, but we do eat it. I work full time, have a disabled husband and a eight-year-old that doesn't want to wait until 7:30 PM to eat a good home cooked meal.

Alhough eating home cooked is not a guaranteed healthy alternative. If you researched where our grocery store meat comes from, how the veggies and fruit are treated with chemicals and whatnot, you'd eat nothing but stuff you grew yourself. I mean, McD's has not ever been recalled due to E Coli has it?

I agree about Burger King, though. It always gives me digestive problems and I don't think it even tastes very good.
