Buying food is our everyday
activity needed to let us live. Usually we don’t analyze it in detail, but I
think we should read the ingredients. It
would be better for our health and life to get to know some facts about food.
There is no need to write about fast food’s bad influence on our body, I guess. Wherever we go, whatever city it is, there are always McDonald’s and KFCs all around us and this is just because we want it! There would be no money for such business if we didn’t buy that kind of ‘food’. I know personally a girl addicted to junk food and I know that this is a serious problem.
We can hear about what food contains. There was an issue with inedible salt which was added to many products and sold as salt not dangerous to our health. The other thing was about expired meat and illegal antibiotics fed to chickens. The biggest problem is a huge amount of salt and sugar in everything, even in products called ‘dietetic’ or ‘light’ . In my opinion we should consider what and where we buy.
There are some short documentary
movies about how some things are made and what happens to food that we ate in
our stomach.
Here is something for brave ones only! That is how our stomach deals with an instant soup and a homemade chicken soup.
If there is not enough for you, here is a short movie about how hydrochloric acid decomposes a cheeseburger:

1. What do you think about fast food? Do you eat that kind of ‘meals’ ?

At the same time, I care about the quality of my fast foods. I order only foods that seem to be decent quality. I don't buy at stalls of questionable quality, or home made soups which contain all kinds of really bad things. I like pizzas, burgers and such - they are not as bad as people make them to be, although some burgers are heavily processed and pizzas aren't the most diverse meals - but they're by no means on the same level as home made soups or microwave-able frozen meals.
And films didn't schock me as much, I saw them some time ago already....
The movies didn’t shock me at all, I am fully aware of what I eat, I need to know every nutrition value as I exercise everyday and I need to know what’s best for my body to regenerate. I cannot understand how can anyone just go for the taste instead of what’s most important for the body.
Due to my overweight I try not to eat any junk food but when I have no other choice I go to cheap chinese restaurants and eat good quality food which is cheaper than Mc Donald's or KFC or If I have possibility then I eat Burger King. Whis is my junk food.
2. Did those films shock you?
Too much Internet was seen by me. Nothing can shock me :)
Do you have any specific diet?
What about me, I rarely visit this kind of restaurants, it is the last alternative when I must go with someone or alone to some restaurant to have a meal.
I am aware of the quallity that is sold in fast food restaurant. Often this food is also available in supermarkets. Processed or mechanically recovered meat is something that i try to avoid in my menu. I think that everyone knew about this. And even we know we still go to MC Donald or KFC. Is that not true? I think we just simple prefer to ignore the fact of food recovery process and pretend this is hapening somewhere else. I do eat MC myself from time to time (like 3-5 times in a year).
2. Did those films shock you?
I would like to say that they did... but I am aware of this, so it don`t make a big inpact on me. Perhaps someone who did not know will get shocked from those videos.
What is scaring for me, many parents do not control their children diet or even worst (as Adrian wrote) Sunday family dinner is at McDonald. Such behaviour creates wrong habits and makes our society unhealthy.
I dont like it, this kind of food is made cheap and fast. Not very clean always.
But sometimes I have to eat it usually when Im in hurry. Its fast food..

I wouldnt be wise not to know this sir.
