Answer 1

I suggest you rent (or buy) the video "SuperSize Me" - you might even be able to take it out for free from your local library.

It's about a guy who decided to eat nothing by McDonalds for a whole month.  He got a full checkup from the doctor before starting, and some times during the month.

You'd be surprised what it can do to your body.

Answer 2

What they do have:

Large amounts of fat, both saturated and unsaturated.

Lots and lots of salt.

Poor quality meat, poor quality carbs

What they don't have:

Fresh vegetables

Fruit

Fiber

VItamins and minerals

COmplex Carbohydrates

All this means our bodies will not get what they need for healthy organs, balanced blood sugar, sustained energy and basic nutrients for long term health, immune system balance and daily energy needs.

Answer 3

Most fast food choices are really unhealthy and a diet completely based on them will lead to serious health risks. Diabetes heart attack stroke and high blood pressure are almost guaranteed due to the high saturated fat and sodium levels. When ordering dont forget to order the diet coke to make yourself feel better about the destructive meal you just ordered (lol)
