Do you believe that mcdonalds is unhealthy?

Question

tell me what you think is mcdonalds healthy or unhealthy

Answer 1

I'm neutral on this. Yes, if you eat a double quarter pounder, Large fries and a Lg Choc shake every day then it's very unhealthy. If you get a grilled chicken sandwich without mayo, a garden salad and either water or ice tea, then it's not bad.

Answer 2

Yeah, i think it's unhealthy.Just their fries alone are drenched in salt, which can bring up cholesterol levels. Although McDonalds' food is really good, its very unhealthy.

Answer 3

Unhealthy

Answer 4

It is very unhealthy! Watch the movie Supersize Me, if you want proof!

Answer 5

Very unhealthy, loaded with fat and calories.

Answer 6

Food is food.  It is a steady diet of one type of food that causes the problems.  Ketchup has been shown to cause cancer in lab animals.  A local woman died from water poisoning while trying to win a contest at a local radio station.  If you just eat spinach you will eventually have protein problems.  If you eat nothing but steak you will be shorting your body of vital vitamins and minerals.

Balanced diets are the secret.  Any food in a large enough volume is unhealthy.

As for McDonald's, it is high in a lot of things the body needs very little of so if you eat nothing but McDonald's it will cause you problems.  But a Big Mac a month isn't going to kill most of us.  I am diabetic.  I have to watch what I eat.  I count ever gram of carbohydrate and OCCASIONALLY I will have a double cheese burger.  No fries and only diet (sugar free) drinks.  Now that occasionally word is subjective.  So one in a month to six weeks is about all I will eat.

If it was lethal, a lot more people would be dead and I wouldn't have a booklet published by my HMO that tells me what is available at several fast food joints and which of their foods I can indulge in from time to time.

Bottom line, if you are fat or sick it isn't McDonald's fault.  It is your fault.  If you insist on stuffing your face with fast food sooner or later it will get you.  And you should know a steady diet of airline food is as bad or worse for you than McDonald's is.

One last point.  Be careful of the term "All Natural".  Arsenic, asbestos, lead, uranium, and countless other lethal concoctions are all natural.  Honey may be all natural sugar but if you give it to a diabetic the resulting blood tests will be identical to the person eating the same amount of processed sugar.

Answer 7

MacDonalds saved my life, Eat in moderation ie, max of once a week ?

best  thing to eat when you have little time  and cannot cook ! I eat it at least once a week

Am  54 kgs , therefore not overweight and nO I am not paid by macDonalds to say this !!

Answer 8

Nothing is really unhealthy (except some drugs) until you have too much of it.

What makes Mcdonalds become unhealthy quite fast is because a small amount of food contains a lot of calories, which is fine, that is, if you only eat that small amount and not order like another batch of fries,or get another burger.

But, most of us usually order more food to fill our stomachs. That's why it becomes unhealthy.

eat little at mcdonalds=healthy

eat a lot somewhere else (and I dont mean Burger king or White castle ) = healthy

you see the difference.

Answer 9

its unhealthy for unhealthy people...Mcdonalds taste really good and its cheap, once again it depends on the person if you are unhealthy then Mcdonalds food is unhealthy for you

Answer 10

i believe most of the food there is unhealth but they do have fruit and yogurt parfait, salads, apples and caramel, and assortment of juices so i believe all sandwhiches are unhealthy but they do have health options!

Answer 11

i think yes and no.It really determines on what ur getting.

If your getting a Big mac yesah its unhealthy.But,fruit and walnut salad is under my prefrence of healthy.

Answer 12

no

Answer 13

McDonald's is an anomaly because on the one hand they sell those greasy fries made from processed potato and that plastic ice cream (no real food in it) and on the other hand they sell real milk, real yogurt, real fruits and real salad.  McDonald's started out completely unhealthy and now, wanting to cater to those who are looking for more healthy choices for kids, they have added healthier choices to their menu.  Basically, if you want a healthy place to eat, I would not choose McDonald's, but cheers to them for trying.  I hope one day they will sell whole grain buns, real dairy ice cream and shakes and less deep fried food.

Answer 14

I really think its Unhealthy But its Good!!! Because like all the Double and everything Double Cheese Burgers and this and that!!

Answer 15

Unhealthy, for sure.

BUT at least they're honest about it. They put the nutrition labels on their product, and don't hide it from the consumer. So if you choose it, at least you know what you're getting in to.

Answer 16

It's not belief. It's fact.

Loaded with calories, fat, saturated fat, trans fat, and artificial junk out the wazoo.

Answer 17

I think Mcdonalds is unhealthy and just like another person who answered this question said...it DOES have many calories in the food. But in a way, it does depend what you get. But otherwise ...I would say most of it is unhealthy.

Answer 18

Depends on what your definition of healthy is. Also depends on what you buy. Plus, too much of anything can be unhealthy. So I guess I'm neutral on this one.

Answer 19

shut up

Answer 20

not that healthy depends what u get from there.

Answer 21

Of course it's unhealthy! But aren't most enjoyable things unhealthy. It's all about moderation people. McDonalds a couple of times a month should be fine. McDonalds 4 times a week is not.

Answer 22

if u get a salad its not bad, but fries, big macs etc are horribly unhealthy

Answer 23

well the salads are good but not the other menu items
