As Americans living in the United States, we acknowledge the fact that fast food chains and restaurants have hit a toll in making an attempt to convince us to eat their products. You see it in almost every block on the road, whether it is McDonald's, Wendy's, Sonic, Burger King, the list piles and continues on. You wonder though at the same time, is eating these products a good or bad thing for your health?
For the most part, I have to go on the side of unhealthy and bad for you. Yes, they do have some "healthy" items such as salads, but in your mind, will you have the mindset to eat that healthy item or go with your usual gut and have that sloppy cheeseburger or large fries? Obesity and bad cholesterol is also a toll that has risen as well.
According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, more than 2 in 3 adults are considered to be overweight or obese. That fact is just amazing in a negative way, to really see and visually see how you look and to keep going to these chains, only makes things worse for your health.
On the bright side, the ones who are on the good side, are the business and executive ones of these fast food restaurants. Considering how popular and how of a money maker their businesses are, profit and growth as a whole makes and places them in a good spot. Overall, it is up to you, to ask yourself, is eating a fast food item, going to be to my benefit, or not?
