About once a week I get get my dinner or lunch from a fast food restaurant. As I walk through the front door with my bag of fast food, I am greeted with my mother yelling at me that if I continue to eat this way I will eventually suffer later on in my life. While I usually continue to eat my fast food despite my mother’s warning, it does make me think of why so many people today still choose to poison their bodies with fast food , knowing the possible consequences.

Not only is fast food usually cheaper than actually preparing a meal, it also requires almost no preparation time besides waiting in line and ordering. To many, the positives of fast food outweigh the positives of cooking at home, which is
If we could realize that what we put in our body today could eventually give us a heart attack, cause a variety of diseases, and even cut our lives’ short then maybe we would think twice when deciding to eat fast food.
