I hardly ever eat fast food simply because it tastes pretty gross to me. I'm not really concerned with the health aspect of it because I just stay healthy regardless of what I eat (probably because I just naturally eat healthily, idk), but fast food is pretty awful. Chinese or Indian take-aways are fine, but McDonalds, Burger King and all those sort of restaurants are just horrid. I think it's just sad that so many people go to those places regularly though, there wouldn't be so many people with obesity problems if they just learnt to cook something simple and healthy for themselves, it really isn't that hard, they just can't be bothered.
But anyway, I rarely go out to eat, I just make something for myself at home all the time. It's quicker, healthier and most of the time cheaper aswell. Like Liddo-kun, I'll just eat something canned if I have no time, it's still better than fast food. |

"fried" can be relatively innocuous or very bad. It depends on how you do it and how often you do it. Choice of oil, how clean, how you drain the food, etc all makes a difference.
Heh, Veldnez and I were typing simultaneously but what he says, there are healthier ways.

Fast Food? Yummmm My favorite, I hate home cooked meals…I have been eating that since I was born day after day….now I have access to different type of Fast food services Mcdonalds, BK , Wendy (Love it) Taco Bell, KFC, Papa Johns Pizza…. I can go on and on…
There is nothing better than a Baconator burger from Wendy, all meat, and not Veggies. The good part, I don’t have to cook and I just have to wait less than 2 minutes for it. I have to say I eat at fast food Joints at least once a Day. And If you need to know, Im slim. And BTW, the taste of those fast food chains varies on some countries, for example the taste of a Mcdonald burger where I live taste way different that the ones I had in the US.

But I do realise a lot of stuff from those places aren't overtly healthy, but like Komari said, it's more of the taste aspect and I'm not really concerned with eating healthily all of the time. Because the majority of the time, I will eat something healthy. I don't think there's anything wrong with occassionally eating something unhealthy, whether it's home cooked or from a fast food place. |

And Vexx, My cholesterol level are low... Every Body react different to food depending on the environment they are set in, for example, I have the benefit in living in a tropical island, so most of the fat that my body digest ends up been burned by how much I sweat (Yeah I walk daily about 10 miles).

And Your Body has cholesterol regardless of what you eat, as cholesterol is an important component for your body functions, like I said my cholesterol is low (or better put, in normal levels), and I didn’t said I’m immune to negative effects of the food you eat, I just said each body react different depending on the environment. EDIT: just to let you know, when I was in US, and was having the same type of eating (ithis time drinking soda as well) during 2 weeks with fastfood, I gained some weight (some 20 pounds), when I came back, I lost it after one month under the same regiment of eating. What I don’t eat is sweats or food with lots of sugar. EDIT 2: coincidence, I was in Worcester, MA on my trip to US,
