People suffer from malnutrition as a result of having a deficiency in nutrients. Fast foods do not come to lessen the problem—people suffer from bad nutrition because they eat fats and cholesterol and salt and sugar in excess. Vitamins and minerals are in scarcity in such foods. You need fats, yes. But you need the right fats which many fruits and veggies already do provide.

You have to walk 3 hours at 4 mph to burn the calories you eat in a McDonalds Big Mac. You overconsume calories even if you eat small portions of junk.

Junk is cumulative. It’s just like smoking cigarette and taking drugs. You feel the effects after in life at a time when regret is the easiest thing to do, and you become so dependent on it that you think it impossible to get rid of.

‘Gluttony’ (i.e. over-indulgence and over-consumption of anything) is placed by God in the seven deadly sins just after ‘lust’. Well predicted, with very good insight.
Aquinas listed six ways to commit gluttony:
•   Praepropere - eating too soon.
•   Laute - eating too expensively.
•   Nimis - eating too much.
•   Ardenter - eating too eagerly (burningly).
•   Studiose - eating too daintily (keenly).
•   Forente - eating wildly (boringly).

People, do your Maths well. When eating, it's not 'food' one should count. It's calories.

Relationships do not work out well when either of the spouses is fat. The tendency to cheat is greater.

Except for people with hormonal problems, fast food is what causes common skin problems that force its victims to live in rejection and despair.

Before, buses could carry 65 people at one go. Now, they can barely carry 40 and need to burn extra fuel to support the weight. The world is going to be overpopulated very soon. Now, with fatter people, imagine the burden on it.

Obesity is the number one killer in Britain; it will soon overtake smoking and become the number one killer in America too by 2019.
“According to the American Heart Association, 910,000 Americans die each year due to cardiovascular disease, that’s the death-toll equivalent to a 9/11 every 27 hours or a Hurricane Katrina every 17 hours.”

Fast food outlets do not use fresh ingredients to prepare foods because this will be too costly for them. Everything canned, processed, and preserved that you eat speeds up your ageing process. You look and become much older than the years you have lived with all the junk that you fill in. Perhaps this is also one reason why it’s called ‘fast’ food?

Don't assume 'defamation reports' are occasional. It's just that fast food makers are the most cunningly deceptive criminals out there.

Fast food outlets survive by exploiting the stupidity of people. You will sue a thief who steals your money. But you will overtly spend this money on junks that openly steal away from you, your youth, beauty, and the years of your life.

Taste is psychological and is a matter of habit nurtured by culture. A French will find Indian food too spicy just like an Indian will find French cuisine too bland.
Aggressive advertising has enabled major fast food producers in convincing people they taste good even though they're disgusting and dirty as hell.

Congratulations. 'Good taste' has successfully sugarcoated a time bomb in your body.
Fast foods are not for the world. They are for the tomb!

Read Case studies, even in countries like Bangladesh Fast food chain is rapidly growing. And even if it didn't, Bangladeshi's have more oil then real food in their plates, and they have extra large sweet tooth.

KFC ordered to pay $8.3 million to Australian girl

Fast food giant Kentucky Fried Chicken has been ordered to pay Aus$8 million (US$8.3 million) to an Australian girl who suffered severe brain damage and was paralysed after eating a Twister wrap.

Monika Samaan was seven when she suffered salmonella encephalopathy -- a brain injury linked to food poisoning that also left her with a blood infection and septic shock -- in October 2005.

Several other family members also fell ill and they claimed Samaan's injuries, which include severe cognitive, motor and speech impairment and spastic quadriplegia, were caused by a chicken Twister wrap from a Sydney KFC outlet.

The New South Wales Supreme Court ruled in the family's favour a week ago and on Friday ordered KFC to pay the girl Aus$8 million in damages plus legal costs.

In a statement, the family's lawyer George Vlahakis said they were relieved the battle was over.

"Monika's severe brain damage and severe disability has already exhausted the very limited resources of the family," he said.

"Monika is now a big girl and they are finding it increasingly difficult to lift her and to look after her basic needs as well as look after Monika's younger siblings.

"The compensation ordered is very much needed. KFC have to date been determined that Monika does not receive a cent."

Last week KFC indicated it will appeal the decision but is yet to do so.

During the trial, Justice Stephen Rothman said the chicken became contaminated "because of the failure of one or more employees of KFC" to follow proper preparation rules, which he described as "negligent".

Salmonella, is a gram-negative bacteria, that can cause severe infections and impairment. We refer it as the "boss of all bacteria's". The above, is just one of the cases, there are many more.

Thanks, Alf :)
