Well..I used to eat some fast food, but since I became a vegitarian I haven't eaten that much. Sometimes I go to In and Out and get "Grilled cheese" (which pretty much a burger without the meat) whenever I go there with my family.


Well, I do believe it's bad for you. If I've learned anything from "Supersize Me" and Chemistry class, then it's horrible for you...what with all those trans fats.



I believe that fast food chains should try and make their food healthy, though that is almost impossible because they make so much money alreay. I also, however, believe that some responsiblity lies in the consumers. I mean, McDonalds isn't kidnapping you and forcing you to eat their food. We aren't mindless robots, we do have free will the last I checked.

1/ Do you often eat fast food? What is your favourite fast food?
I eat it about once ever month, my fav would have to McDonalds


2/ Do you think fast food is bad for you? Do you try to avoid eating too much? If you have children, do you restrict how much they are allowed to eat?
I know fast food is bad for me (all those tv adds, movies, news reports) that why I try to eat as less of it as possible, when ever I do have it, its more of a treat.


3/ Do you think fast food chains have a responsibility to make their products healthy and non-fattening, and to advertise them honestly, or do you think it is our responsibility as consumers to decide whether to eat them or not?
I'm a strong believer in consumer responsibility, the way i see is the fast food companys doesn't make you eat it, you're the one who decides you will.

But, isn't fast food advertisings causing obesity on children ? Like happy meal for example, which encourages children to eat more and more fast food to get the toys, I know children are attracted to it, happy meal lure them and make them fat, it's McDonalds' fault . I feel sorry for them, the kids after seeing the commercial will probably clinging to their parents for a happy meal
(I don't see what's so happy about it ). Children are their aim, children can't think on their on (I'm blaming you for thinking that it's the consumer's fault), fat children make my heart aches anyway TT_TT.

Thank you for your posts, I really appreciated it.

But wouldn't that be the parents' fault? I know a 5 year old who's mom hardly ever lets him eat junk food, only every once in a while does he get a chocolate bar or a sucker, but everytime he sees the McDonalds commercial he always goes on about how bad it is for you, he says "The apples are the only good thing there, but they ruined them with the candy dip." (He's obsessed with apples) But anyway, what I'm trying to say is, if the parents limit the kid and have him eat good food, then he won't grow up to be fat. A kid doesn't know any better, but his parents do.

McDonalds isn't trying to make kids fat, they're just trying to get money.

They don't care, and frankly, they shouldn't have to.

Word up, Scarface, word up. Kids are under their parents control. If the parents aren't smart enough or don't care enough to see that their child eats healthfully, then maybe they shouldn't be parents after all.

I eat fast food about once a week, not more than that though. Fish n Chips are my fave.

Well it depends really. If you have it like everyday that's seriously bad.

I don't understand. XD

1/ Do you often eat fast food? What is your favourite fast food?

Hardly ever. Maybe 5 times a year or so. 100% of the time it's at McDonalds, so McDonalds would be my favourite.

Yes, of course it is bad for you
I don't like fast food much so trying to "avoid" it isn't very difficult.
I have no children and never will =D

I think they need to advertise honestly and have nutritional information present and easy to access. I don't think it's their responsibility to make their products healthy however, everyone knows fast-food is bad for you- don't eat it too much! =D[/b]
