Fast food makes you unhealthy, fat, slow and fills you full of chemicals your body could do without. The real problem with fast food is that it tastes so god dam good, making the decision whether to buy the latest K.F.C or Mcdonalds meal a tough choice. To be fair to mankind, most people do tend to think in the short run. We don't always think about where our food comes from. If an average person notices that a Mcdonalds is near by and easy to get to they will probably choose to eat there rather than going to the store, buying some ingredients and then preparing a healthy low fat boring dish.
If you eat too much of it, fast food does have the potential to kill you but should you be allowed to sue them? Some people at the larger end of the weight spectrum have attempted to sue Mcdonalds because they have eaten too much and become hideously overweight. Are these companies to blame for those people getting so fat they can no longer walk? With advertising campaigns pleading people to eat their food they do encourage it but do they outline the risks of eating too much? Fast food isn't all bad and can be eaten every now and again as part of a healthy diet. There is no way that these larger people couldn't know that eating too much would damage their health. The shocking truth is that most of these people have their parents to blame who allowed their kids to eat so much. True love for your child means not giving in to every demand. It is easy to always say yes (parenting tip).
There have been many horror stories about fast food restaurants. K.F.C were famous for someone finding a deep fried rat in a chicken box. Would you be able to tell the difference? The pieces of chicken are weird shapes and most people wouldn't notice if one was in the same shape as a human skull. In fact they would probably shove it right down their fat throat. There are horror stories of people finding roaches in burgers at Mcdonalds but statistically it must be likely to happen at least once. At the Mcdonalds near me there was a huge fly outbreak with thousands of them around the local area. Someone I know found a dead fly at the bottom of their fries and then were immediately offered a free large meal. We still eat there.
One problem that used to, and still does, exist is trying to find out what is actually in the food. How are people meant to know if they are really eating chicken or a strange processed chemically enhanced lettuce. K.F.C has recently been under fire about the treatment of their chickens. Animal cruelty is always going to happen when you have to mass produce food. It's the only efficient way suppliers can meet such high demand of meat. The only real way to stop the cruelty going on is to stop eating the food. Unfortunately people tend to not care, or think, about the animals they are eating and care more about the delicious convenient food.
The environment suffers around these food troughs. There is a huge amount of McTrash around every Mcdonalds where people dump wrappers on the floor when there is a bin about every few steps. Mcdonalds now have people on the streets outside picking up the trash thanks to some inconsiderate selfish pigs who eat there. One thing that fails to make sense is if I'm eating in, why put all the food in different packets? When I go to K.F.C and say I'm eating in they still manage to put my food in a box on a tray for me to carry.
Fast food places are useful when you are on the go and there are clear warnings around that say you shouldn't eat too much of it. The trash surrounding each shop represents the careless and selfish attitude you take when eating fast food. Big isn't beautiful, and we have to stop consuming as much. Then again, Super Size Me did look fun.
