2. Fast food is a type of mass-produced food designed
for commercial resale and with a strong priority placed on
"speed of service" versus other relevant factors involved
in culinary science. Fast food was originally created as a
commercial strategy to accommodate the larger numbers
of busy commuters, travelers and wage workers who
often did not have the time to sit down at a public
house or diner and wait for their meal. By making speed
of service the priority, this ensured that customers with
strictly limited time were not inconvenienced by waiting
for their food to be cooked on-the-spot.
3. Benefits of Fast Foods
• Fast Foods Are Convenient
It seems like you can find fast food restaurants on nearly every
street corner, and going to a drive-through or using home-delivery
makes going to a fast food restaurant appealing. Fast food restaurants
enable you to consume ready-to-eat, fresh, portion-controlled foods. If
you want to eat healthy food but don't want to prepare it at home,
you can order something healthy from a fast food restaurant.
• Fast Food Restaurants Offer Various Choices
A wide assortment of fast food styles lets you experience foods
from various cultures so that you don't need to spend exorbitant
amounts of money at full-service restaurants. Fast food restaurants
that offer burgers, chicken and sandwiches are plentiful, but fast-food
restaurants that offer Chinese, Italian, Mexican and Middle Eastern
dishes also are plentiful.
4. • Fast Food Restaurants Cost
Less
The low cost of a fast food
meal compared to a meal at a sit-
down restaurant can help you
stay within your budget. Home
cooking, though, enables you to
serve healthier, less expensive
meals. If you want to eat healthy
foods on a budget, purchase
foods such as tuna, peanut butter,
dried beans, brown rice, whole
pasta and seasonal produce.
These nutritious items are
relatively inexpensive.
• Fast Food Restaurants Have
Calorie Counts
The Patient Protection and
Affordable Care Act of 2010
requires chain restaurants to
post calorie counts on menu
boards. You can use this
information to make low-calorie
decisions when you eat fast
food. Restaurants that have
fewer than 20 locations, such as
small, family-owned
establishments, do not need to
provide nutritional information.
When you don't have access to
calorie counts, you may be
more likely to eat more calories
than you had intended.
5. Things That Happen to Your Body
When You Eat Fast Food
1. You’ll Increase Your Obesity Risk
If you switch from a balanced diet of whole foods to one of fast
food, the most obvious difference you’d register would be the
enormous uptick in calories you’d consume per meal.
2. You’ll Also Starve
The high calories in fast food are accompanied by low nutritional
content. Too much of that, and your body will begin to lack the
necessary nutrients it needs to function properly.
6. 3. You May Increase Your Cancer Risk
4. Memory and Cognitive Function Will Decline
Fast foods like bacon burgers, some fried foods, and milkshakes are
often high in saturated fats. It’s been long established that saturated
fats can negatively impact the heart, but there’s also research that
suggests high saturated fat intake may negatively impact brain function
and memory.
5. Your Kidneys and Stomach Will Suffer
6. Your Blood Sugar Will Spike
Eating high-carb fast food increases your blood sugar. As you consume
white-flour-based foods—such as the bun from a burger, or French
fries with your sandwich—your body takes in a large amount of white
sugar.
7. You may be aware that fast and processed foods can harm your
physical health, leading to diabetes and obesity, as well as
premature cardiac death, cancer, strokes, and more.
But these foods are also altering your brain and your mental
health – fueling depression, mental illness, and other issues.
According to a study published in the Public Health
Journal, people who eat fast foods are 51% more likely to develop
depression compared to those who eat little or no fast food.
Another study published in the Journal of Adolescence
Health found that eating just one serving of French fries per week
during adolescence increased women’s breast cancer risk later in
life by 27%.
