Is fast food really healthy for people?

All the recent discussion about fast-food employment, wages and benefits has a lot of Americans asking one collective question: Who cares? Well, you do. According to Gallup, 80% of you eat fast food at least once a month.

There's very little disparity in how all of that grease-fried food is consumed, either. Often associated with low income or poverty, fast food is consumed more heavily by those making more than $75,000 a year (51% report eating it at least once a week) than by those making between $20,000 and $30,000 a year (42%) or less than $20,000 (39%).

It's clearly a young person's game, however, as 57% of those aged 18 to 29 say they hit the counter or drive-through at least once a week. That drops to 47% for those aged 30 to 49, 44% for those aged 50 to 64 and to 41% among those aged 65 and older.

here isn't a whole lot of difference between how various races visit McDonald's (MCD), Burger King (BKW), Wendy's (WEN) and elsewhere, either. Fifty-two percent of blacks and 53% of Hispanics eat fast food at least weekly, while 46% of whites do the same.

All the groups feel just as badly about their meal afterward. A full 73% of those who go for fast food weekly told Gallup they think it's not too good for them or not good at all. That still trails the 81% of people who don't eat fast-food who believe the same. But at least there's a sizable degree of self-awareness.

So how healthy is fast food? Researchers and health professionals have long been aware of the consequences associated with eating fast food. After eatinga 12-hour fast and again two and four hours after finishing each meal. The results were not pretty!  The researchers collected their data by measuring the men’s endothelial function -- the ability of the blood vessels to dilatethe men’s arteries dilated 24 percent less than when the subjects were in a fasted state. Poor endothelial function is a significant precursor of atherosclerosis, a hardening of the arteries that can block. Here is the food list given to the men's:  fast food sausage, egg and cheese sandwich.

Fast food is pre-packed food that has been around since the early 1900's. But, looking at the health today it is putting at people's risk like obisity, Diabetes un-wanted fat. “nutritional value” is an oxymoron that doesn't have much nutrition. In the fact that this kind of food does not feed your body giving you sufficient energy to move around.  Fast food products are made with highly-processed ingredients to give it shelf-life, as seeing food from scratch it nurish the body as denatural food it lacks any nutrtional vitamins.

more. what do think about fast food? I asked a few people and they said:
1.) It makes you fat! It is so Good but it is bad.
2.)It is not healthy.
3.) To me it is good. If put it this way it is bad for your health, because it sometimes it is not always good eating it even though we still end up eating it.

Here is what really does do your body. Obesity is on the rise. Heart disease is on the rise.High amounts of fat can be very difficult to digest, and much of the fat is actually stored in your body, rather than passing through. High calories, tons of fat and oodles of sodium is bad for your body. Increase in body blood pressure and slowly makes you think.
