Healthy Fast Food
There are many who like the idea of controlling fast food restaurants to make them “healthier” or otherwise. There are even publications that tell you which fast foods you should eat instead of eating other fast foods to help you still lose weight while eating said fast foods. The biggest trend lately is those who want to require chain restaurants to provide calorie counts on the menu.
This may sound extreme to some of course, I realize that. But did it ever occur to people in general to stop eating fast food or eat it oh once a week instead of every day or every other day? That could very well contribute to a lower rate of obesity in and of itself. As we saw on a number of documentaries surrounding our “fast food nation”, even the salads at many of these places are ultimately unhealthy, some would even say that some of them are worse than the burgers and fries served at the same organizations. So logic would follow, stop eating fast food or at least drastically lower your general intake thereof.
But the logic behind many people who want to require this calorie counting is that they want users to be able to count their caloric intake and stay under a number of calories. Again, whether you count calories or not, if all of those calories are made up of fat, the likelihood is you are going to suffer severe vitamin deficiencies, and you are not going to lose weight. In essence, these are all the different ways that I like to encourage staying away from fast food in general and using common sense rather than making a big media production that would require more money in general to be spent.
