  2. Fast Food is No Good!! • Did you know that a McDonalds large coke has 800 calories alone!!! That’s almost half of a persons daily intake just imagine a whole meal!! • Americans are the fattest people in the world, this is simply because there is a McDonalds every couple blocks making it easy for people to access fattening foods. • Fast food is too convenient and makes people lazy. Nobody wants a home cooked meal which is healthy and low in calories anymore. • Eating too much fast food also causes a lot of health problems with today’s society. Live Strong states, “IBS, High blood pressure, High calorie intake and Diabetes are all problems affiliated with eating too much fatty foods.”(Mental Effects of a Fast Food Diet.) • Today’s society is not getting the necessary vitamin intake that is needed to take. Fast food barely has enough vitamans and minerals to keep a person alive.

  3. What Effects Does Fast Food Have On Children Today. • The advertisments reach out to kids a lot now using cartoons and giving toys away in there meals. If you ask any kid what McDonalds is they will be able to tell you everything about the restaurant • Childhood obesity is a big problem kids are not active anymore they just want to eat junk food and watch television, instead of go outside ride a bike. • Live Strong gives a strong point, “Sodium is bad for anybody never mind children and fast food is loaded with it! Which also means children are not drinking enough water when they eat more sodium.”(Reasons Why Fast Foods Are Bad for Kids) It is hard enough to get kids to drink water especially when their food is loaded with salts. • Another good point Live Strong give is, “Studies have shown that their bad eating habits are carried on until adulthood which makes it really hard for them to eat healthy and loose weight when they are older.” (Reasons Why Fast Foods Are Bad for Kids)

  4. Psychological Effects of a Fast Food Diet • Live Strong .com quotes, “A fast food diet will cause depression. The fats that are in fast food will clog your arteries and clogged arteries cause depression.”(Mental Effects of a Fast Food Diet) Which also leads to many more suicides in the country. • Another good point Live Strong gives is, “With a fast food diet lacking the vitamin omega-3 this also causes Anxiety. Along with anxiety usually follows depression.”(Mental Effects of a Fast Food Diet) • “Did you know it is also a common factor to cause hyperactivity in children,”saysLive Strong. (Mental Effects of a Fast Food Diet) Which also means disorders of A.D.D and A.D.H.D. • Obesity this is becoming a big part of society now lately. Adult obesity usually follows along with childhood obesity like there parents. Its hard to teach a child to eat right when your not doing it yourself. • Seemingly healthy choices in the drive thru are really not so healthy they give them fancy names like the “fruit and yougert parfait” when really this item has more calories in it then your ice cream that you chose it over.(Mental Effects of a Fast Food Diet)
