How Healthy is Fast Food?

[Disgusted]

It may taste good, but it's low quality food and certainly is not healthy. Seems like the average is 15 or more chemicals to every one food ingredient.

McDonalds chicken.

"The chicken has sodium phosphates (of an unspecified variety). It could be trisodium phosphate (a cleanser), monosodium phosphate (a laxative), or disodium hydrogen phosphate [11]. Why would McDonald's add sodium phosphates (a foaming agent), and dimethylpolysiloxane added as an antifoaming agent in their crispy chicken breast fillets? It isn't dishwasher detergent."

"Some of these food additives are not foods at all, but are chemicals that are generally recognized as safe. Most of these additives cannot be found at your local grocery store, probably because they aren't food. But some can be found at your local hardware store, though in inedible products like low tox antifreeze, silicone caulk, soap, sunscreen, and play sand."

[Disgusted]

I eat at McDonalds bout once a year. Mainly cause I really don't like it all that much, but I can't imagine eat that stuff once or twice a day and literally ingesting hundreds of chemicals that my body does not recognize as food and doing God knows what to my long term health.

Let's clear up a huge misconception right here at the start. There are no junk foods. You can, however, have a poor diet.

Either something is junk or it is a food, it cannot be both. Hamburgers at fastfood outlets are probably better meals than most people have at home.

You could survive and be healthy as long as you are active if you were to eat only in McDonalds and selected balanced meals.

If you ate only French fries and coke you wouldn't be healthy for long.

Not healthy. Specially that taco bell kfc bullshit. If I have to get fastfood it's a burger from a decent place. Hardees is pretty good and some fries.

I agree with you to a point. Something is either food or not, but the term junk food to me is food  that has added none foods to them for what ever the reason may be. It can also be that it has a disproportionate amount if sodium, sugar, fat etc. These are food recipes that are made by man and not always healthy for you. You are generally not going to find in nature foods like that. Also being "active" is NOT going to keep you healthy and counteract the damage done while ingesting these none foods

I JUST HAD SOME FAST FOOD. BINGED TODAY.

TWO-THREE TIMES A YEAR NO BIGGIE.

I agree, Hell even once a month even though I don't, but I honestly don't feel good eating that food. Maybe if I ate it all the time and got used to feeling bad then I might not notice it.

Nothing sinister about any of those ingredients whatsoever.  I would recommend a book to read on Food Science so you can stop with your ignorance, but you probably wouldn`t read it anyway seeing as how dumb you are.



EDIT: I decided to include the book anyways just in case he wants to read it or anyone for that matter.

I think I'll go have me a bowl of chemicals.

Dubious source with misleading information. We can take this one ingredient at a time if you like and I will gladly explain how each functions.

  When I eat not clean, what I am looking for is fat and sugar. That is what gives the taste of unclean foods. I do not want artificial sweeteners, artificial colors, preservatives and hydrogenated fats.

  There is junk food and then there is ultra-junk food. A food that contains nothing but refined flour, sugar and saturated fats is junk food, but a food that contains what I just mentioned plus artificial colors, preservatives, hydrogenated oils, petroleum sweeteners like cyclamate, MSG, etc, takes the food to a level of horrible that is above and beyond junk. It is the difference between a naturally-baked French toast, which is nothing but white flour(junk), to supermarket white bread which also includes hydrogenated margarine, Sodium benzoate, lye(to give the white color)..

  It is very hard to find junk food that does not contain the super bad stuff. One of the few I know is Haagen-Dazs ice cream. There is nothing there but saturated fat and sugar. They don't add any preservatives, hydrogenated fats or artificial colors.
Compare this to supermarket ice cream, which besides sugar, contains hydrogenated fats(because butter is too expensive), tons of artificial colors derived either from petroleum or charcoal and even insects. Yep, insects. Many ice creams are colorored with a tiny yard insect that I forgot the name that gives a "natural" red color.

I`m willing to help you understand this, so pick out a "chemical" and I will help explain away the false sinister connotation you have given it.

You don`t understand Food Science and this is fine, but its never too late to learn.

I agree on the food issue, but cardio is not going to keep you heart and body healthy while eating fast food. I'm not saying that you said that.

  Is this "The True Adonis" f.a.g.g.o.t the official PR for McDonald's? Half his posts are defending McDonald's.

Please   

For Instance, Tri-Sodium-Phosphate, is a VERY, VERY good thing for you and it helps regulate acidity in foods which preserves Vitamin Content.  Also, its a great for reducing lactic acid in the muscles as well as increasing a VO2 Max.

I also use it to clean surfaces before I paint.  I could use Vinegar as well and get the same affect.  I have 160-170 year old wood and over 500 year old floors (age of the Heart Pine) and TSP is quite gentle.  I prefer Vinegar on the floors though. Just a small amount.

Tell you what, just tell me how any of  these chemicals can promote health. that should be good for starters.
