Fast Food, Junk Food, and Why It is Dangerous?



  • Fast foods have very little good nutritional value.
  • Eating chickens that have been pumped with hormones is dangerous, and may lead to an earlier onset of puberty. However, it is now illegal to sell chicken that has been given hormones
  • Fast foods have been linked to cholesterol levels rising and raising of blood pressure (due to the high sodium content). Therefore, the risk of strokes is much higher.
  • Fast foods are very high in carbohydrates, very low in fiber and very high in fat. This is why people who eat a lot of fast foods usually put on a lot of weight. Child obesity has increased considerably in the past 10 years.
  • Fast foods are very addictive!
  • Many fast foods have lots and lots of artificial flavors, colors and preservatives, and one of them is MSG. None of these are good for your health. They are even worse for children as their bodies cannot handle all the chemicals.
