With television, radio, Internet and other forms of media, we are all constantly inundated by many companies promoting their Fast Food as the best.
Some Fast Facts on Fast Food:
1. High fat and sodium content
2. Grease
3. Lower nutrition value
4. Increased chances of weight gain
Yes, it tastes good, and looks good, but, the truth of the matter, it’s not good. The body needs food to sustain itself. Besides the taste and how good it looks, the only good thing about Fast Food is that it’s fast and convenient. You are going down the highway on a trip and everyone is hungry. So you stop at the nearest Fast Food joint to satisfy everyone’s hunger. You pay the place, eat and then you are gone. But, also is the nutrition factor. There is only one way to say this, “Garbage in garbage out”. In 1992, my wife and I stopped at a local Fast Food restaurant because we were hungry. It was quite a few years since we even had any of this kind of food. Not more than 45 minutes after we were done eating, we both felt sick from the food. We both immediately realized why we were sick. It was the grease from the food. I challenge you to try something — Stop eating Fast Food for several months, then have some and see what you think. You should get the point. Oh, yes, everyone eats it, but, that doesn’t make it good for you. Here is a crude comparison — in the previous article, I mentioned that Soda was nothing more than “liquid candy”. Well, Fast Food could be described as “Candied Food”. Looks and tastes good, but not good for you. Candy tastes good, but is not good for you. It’s the same thing. We’re all putting stuff in us that isn’t doing anything for us. Isn’t it time to change the course and live better?….. You decide.
