No way...if you ask a nutritionist they'll tell you once or twice a year...no more than that!! Fast food can cause your body serious damage!! At McDonald's, their mc nuggets are better for you than their salads. If it's something you want to eat on that regular of a basis you might want to do the research and check the nutrition fact on their websites first to find out what's good for you and what isn't. The "healthy" foods they offer really aren't that healthy after all. If you really want to know the damage fast food can do on your body, watch the documentary Super Size Me. My husband was a big fan of eating at fast food places, and after watching that and seeing what it does to your body (liver problems, weight gain, and just how it makes you lethargic and gives you zero energy), he hardly eats there anymore.

It's a sin for the health of your body.  Do you know what all that transfat and high calorie loaded food does to your health?  McD is marketed to the young.  See how many youngsters are showing signs of heart desease and diabetes.  Allowing this to continue, would it be considered a sin?\n\n"In an effort to counter the rapidly growing obesity epidemic sweeping America's youth, state legislatures have begun passing laws to ban junk food being sold through school vending machines. Though many would agree their intentions are aimed in the right direction, it appears the ultimate beneficiaries of such policy are fast-food chains, rather than the children.\n\nA recent study conducted by researchers at Harvard's School of Public Health focused on the city of Chicago as a model. It was found that despite the fact Chicago Public Schools revamped their policy last year to outlaw junk food at school, the children are still managing to find a way to eat unhealthy.\n\nLead researcher, Bryn Austin, attributes this to the high number of fast-food and chain restaurants surrounding elementary, middle, and high schools in urban areas, such as Chicago. Surprisingly, close to 80% of the schools included in the study had at least one fast-food restaurant within half a mile. Austin commented on the situation, "It can be very hard for children and teens to eat in healthy ways when they're inundated with this."\n\nWith the amount of thought and planning that goes into deciding the location of such restaurants, it is hard to believe the mega-chains are not targeting children as one of their primary customers.\n\nWhen questioned on the situation, however, McDonald's spokesperson, Walt Riker, said his corporation locates its restaurants "in high-traffic areas like every other business, to serve customers. It has nothing to do with schools."\n\nHe continued to take a defensive stance in the argument, calling into question the legitimacy of the study. He believes the assumptions drawn from the study should be considered speculative, because the researchers did not establish whether or not the proximity of fast food restaurants to schools actually affects the eating habits students.\n\nLike he said, though, it is in McDonald's best interest to put their restaurants in "high-traffic" areas. It just so happens the traffic is composed of school-children. "

Yes it is. Most foods are processed or have preservatives to make it last longer. But our lifestyle dictated that change. There is still healthy food out there, but no one has time to buy and cook fresh food everyday. There are just too many things going on. The best thing I did and what alot of people can do is stop eating fast food. That is the worst for you.

I have some info. There's alot of hungry people in africa. And perhaps if they did some work to stir up some money, then they could buy some food. They should stop bumming food off of countries that feel bad for them. either die or work. It's that easy.

I haven't seen, or heard of the advertisement. I dont even live in the US, but I thought this might be good opportunity to mention that the consuming of animal matter is the primary fuel to the growing percentage of overweight and obese people in the US, and thus will implore you not to continue attending places like Hardee's (I'm assuming its some kind of meat oriented restaraunt) and start visiting places like Subway. This change would henceforth make your question irrelevant, replaced by such questions as "where's the Nearest sandwich parlour to my hourse?" or "how much does a footlong with the lot cost, and can I ask to have more added?"

Be cautious just in case I would say...\n\nI once was in Northern China with my husband and a whole group of Chinese-Singaporeans. We were told by our Chinese guide that we should not eat nor drink in restaurants (all kind of hepatitis A,B etc and all). The local population was not bothered though.\n\nBut us, Caucasians and Singoporean-Chinese alike were warned not to eat anything nor drink any water in restaurants. Just in case......and that was from a local Chinese guide.\n\nWe all had all our numerous shots before-hand though..but did not take the risk.\n\nSo, basically :  I don't know but better consult other expats over there..

Yes, with my family on "Honey, we're killing the kids!" We need some healthy living help. And if the food is free, that would help!

Well, I agree that there's a lot of hysteria surrounding smoking.  But a lot of it comes from smoking being out of fashion.  And let's not forget--most smokers WON'T die of lung cancer.  They'll die of other diseases only linked to smoking but not actually caused by them.\n\nBut I'm not sure I agree with you about the fast food.  I've seen several groups try to sue fast food chains and, don't forget, the FDA just recently mandated new food labeling laws.\n\nBut, yes, I also agree that in the hysteria, nutrition is often overlooked.  And just look at how obesity is linked to so many diseases, many types of cancer, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, the list just goes on and on.\n\nI'm not sure I answered your questions but thanks for asking them.  They'll give a lot of people something very important to think about.  Best Wishes.

About three minutes ago there were two questions pertaining to anorexia. Maybe, if you have good information to share, you should go find those questions. If people are specifically asking, they would be the ones most likely to be open to receiving helpful insite.

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.

DON'T DO THIS!!! The last thing you need is to export the idea of conspicuous consumption to a place where having enough to eat is an area of major concern!!!

I do think fast food franchises should be regulated by some organism like the FDA.  They should at least be force to come up with healthier menus.
