Fast food is terrible. Really really bad. Unhealthy. Are you getting the idea? Millions of Americans feast on fast food everyday because it's easy, quick and addictive. Have you ever eaten a McDonalds burger and still felt hungry afterward? That's their plan.
The types of chemicals that go into that burger are an atrocity. Even if nutritional guides say your "low fat" fast food meal is low in calories, it doesn't list the high levels of chemical additives you'll be eating. And you have to wonder if those hidden ingredients act like an addictive drug that makes you want more. It kind of works like heroin. After the first bite, you're hooked. Your pleasure hormones surge and you create an emotional bond with the burger.
Try this little experiment: Grill a homemade lean burger made with organically fed ground beef. Eat just one and see how full you'll feel. Your body is getting the calories it needs, so you feel satisfied with a single serving. Now eat one of those processed McBeef Burgers and wait to see how long it takes before you're hungry again. Before you know it you'll be reaching for processed french fries and a fake shake made out of liquified milk product.
Fast food restaurants don't care about your health or your body, just their bottom line. The more you eat, the richer they get, and the sicker you become. The really alarming part is that we reward our children with meals that promise to make them "happy." Would you hand your 10 year old a pack of cigarettes and tell them to light up? Of course not because that's ridiculous. So why is feeding them fast food any different? If you want your family to become sick, overweight and emotionally addicted to food, then keep going to the drive-thru. It's really that simple.
