Should I Eat Fast Food?

Eating fast food has been in question for many years.  Some people believe that we shouldn't eat any while others believe that it's ok to have fast food every once in awhile.  The reason fast food is so popular is because it is exactly what its' name entitles, 'fast food.'  Fast food is cheap and people can get it on the go.

In recent months, McDonald's allowed people to ask questions about their food.  They were not afraid to answer any question.  They even had a person come in and explore the factories where the food is made.  Grant Imahara took a camera crew inside the factories to see what McDonald's really created.  There were open to having him and did not hide anything.  This is How Chicken Nuggets are Made .  There is no pink goop or slime in this process.

For years, people had been saying that this is what McDonald's nuggets were made of.  The video shows that there is no pink slime.

Just because McDonald's was open about food questions, doesn't mean that people should just eat it or any fast food restaurant.  If you are regularly exercising, you may be able to eat more than someone who doesn't normally exercise.  It also depends on a person's metabolism.  If you have a high metabolism, you can get away with eating more fast food than someone who has a slower metabolism.

Eating fast food is ok as long as it is balanced with other healthy foods.  A diet of strictly fast food may cause diabetes, heart disease or obesity.  We must use our judgement correctly on whether it best suits us.  An occasional Big Mac, exercising regularly and eating healthy as best as you can will be fine for a person down the road.
