I'm writing a 4 page essay about fast food in biology. So I need your opinion on a few things.
-Does fast food have negative health affects? And what are those?
-Should fast food companies tell people what's unhealthy in their food ? So they can decide whether to eat it or not?
-Are people addicted to fast food?
I've already written a few long paragraphs but I'm out of ideas.. so I need some help. Especially for the first one. I need some biology terms in it and I'm not good at it.

It's a non-fiction and the guy it features started off with no health issues. After eating a few meals at McDonald's for a month he had a high cholesteral and his health was at risk. Fast food is for convience not health. They have healthier alternatives, but in my opinion it's the public's descision if they want to eat there the promoters are just making a living.

Why would fast food companies tell their customers they could die from their food if they eat it too much? The idea about any business, especially the food business, is; they want you to buy it. They don't care what happens to you, they just want you to buy their food so they can make money, they won't tell people that it's unhealthy, nor should they. If people wanted good healthy food, they'd go out and get slow food, not fast food. People can't really be addicted to fast food, addiction is all in the head anyways, so anyone can just stop eating fast food one day, it's not like crack where one could become physically and emotionally dependant. Hope I helped. -Angel [ Anq3L_xO's advice column | Ask Anq3L_xO A Question ]
