Why Fast Food Shouldn't Be Eaten

Fast food may be cheap and convenient, but it is true that you get what you paid for. Fast food has barely any of the nutrients needed to sustain a human body. Food, more specifically nutrients, are essential for human beings to keep themselves alive and living. Fast food has become a staple in many Americans homes, and it should not be a monthly meal let alone a daily or weekly one. People should be wary of what foods they put into their bodies, and where said food was prepared. Perhaps, if one saw the cleanliness, or lack thereof, in some fast food restaurants, they might decide against eating there. One may think that the food can't be too bad because the FDA has standards, but it's insane what the FDA allows. We all live in this world, and should be concerned how it is treated; the fast food industry is harmful to the environment. Fast food should be consumed less due to the fact that it is detrimental to people's health, the environment, and animals.

Now, while the FDA does have certain rules on what can be put in foods that is safe to consume that doesn't mean it should be. It, also, doesn't mean one will want it in their body. The FDA states " In Paste, Pizza and Other Sauces 30 or more fly eggs per 100 grams, or 15 or more fly eggs and 1 or more maggot per 100 grams, or 2 or more maggots per 100 grams." The FDA is allowing a certain number of fly eggs or maggots in food. It can only be imagined what other sort of things are in the fast food being consumed all over the country. Whether it is safe or not, there probably isn't many people who want to ingest insects among other things.

Obviously, cleanliness in fast food restaurants is very significant. Besides the fact that it's just abominable, lack of cleanne...

In brief, fast food is unacceptable for several reasons; fast food has a great impact on many significant things. The human body is, unmistakably, essential for people to live. People should manage their body with care and be cautious with what they decide to put into it. Fast food causes more harm than good in just about every aspect. While fast food is fast and inexpensive it would be worth any person's while to escape it when possible, or just treat themselves with it. Cleanliness is important for obvious reasons, ingesting food prepared in filth can cause illness. So, fast food shouldn't be bought and consumed as it can be damaging to people's health, animals, and the environment.
