Partially Hydrogenated Oil! This is what is in most fast foods. It is also in alot of the foods we buy in the stores. Whatch the movie Super Size Me to get more info.

Well, the fast food industry grew out of a demand also.  Our lifestyle has become so fast paced that we barely have time to sit down and eat a proper meal let alone cook a proper meal!  Since they're catering to the public, they have to make the food taste good so that it will be bought and, unfortunately, what tastes good may not be what's healthy for us.

It's bad for you, most of it anyway.\n\nBut if you only eat it once in a while you should be okay.

I think everybody's body is different. Some people who drink, smoke and never exercise live to be 100. Other people who are very health conscious drop dead at 45 from a pulmonary embolism. It certainly can't hurt to eat healthy though. Most people's body's can't handle the abuse of trans fats and tobacco for very long before they start having health problems. People like your grandfather are few and far between.\n\nIn answer to your question about whether or not I hate the self-righeous bastards who preach about eating healthy, yes I do. I can barely get the food in my mouth before my fiance is telling me how bad it is for me. I do try to live a healthy lifestyle, but every once in a while you want to eat a ton of fried food or ice cream or whatever it is you're craving. It's not gonna kill you. It's not something you can do every day, but people are just way too uptight about it.

cholesterol is bad thing for your health, if you eat too much then you will get heart-disease. So they remove it from the oil, and put it on the packaging, so that you will buy their oil...lol

It make you feel high. Then it will make you sick. When it wares off you may puke off something as smll as a french fry. Then you psycholgial want some more so you feel better.

None that I know of. Why would instant food cause cancer? The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are generally very strict about the safety of our food. If you hear that cancer was caused by some type of food, it usually means that lab rats were fed an incredibly large amount of it for a couple of years and then they got cancer. For example, they may have been given the human equivalent of a case of soda a day for six years. Don't worry about your instant food. It's simply been processed in a way that makes it cook faster. Don't believe everything you hear on the street. Most people don't know what they're talking about.

For the most part, Tacos and Burritos in the fast food chains are still bad. You can get some good Mexican food in the single mom and pop places - excellent!

A lot of exercise and healthy eating. Just try to improve what you eating. Like stay away from stuff you shouldnt eat. We shouldnt eat fast food, chips, french fries, pizza. Although that all of that stuff is good and is ok to eat every once in a while it shouldnt be your whole diet. Your diet should consist of more vegetables, whole grains, protien, fiber, etc.

there are two types: bad cholesterol (found in foods like red meat) that clot your blood vessels and good cholesterol (found in foods like nuts) that lower the risk for heart disease.

I did participate in your survey about McDonald's and it' so-called healthy foods.\n\nThe author of "Omnivore's Dilemma" wrote about a family meal at McDonald's. He had a cheeseburger, fries and a milk shake. His son had Chicken McNuggets and a soda. His wife had the Cobb Salad with Paul Newman dressing. \n\nDo you know what the least unhealthy item was?\n\nIt was the fries [fried potatoes].\n\nWe are captive to a heavily subsidized farming industry that is dumping high fructose corn syrup and GMOs into almost everything we eat.\n\nI don't blame McDs for using the cheapest ingredients available - i do blame the US Dept of Agriculture, the Dept of Commerce, and the Senators and Reps who have sold out to the massive farming corporations such as Carghill, ADM, and ConAgra.

look at the health and economic impacts of fast food, and subsequent growth ot of western culture to otherwise unreachable areas (mcdonalds behind the "iron curtain", starbucks in the forbidden city, etc.) dont write about fast food per se, write about the impact of the idea.

It's a high possibility, stress can cause a lot of physical and health related problem, as well as eating unhealthy foods
