Are those nutrition fact on menu scare you to eat more?

The facts are posted by law. But lets face it, no one wants to eat fast food all the time. I can see eating McDonald's once in a while. Not every day. And if someone was to eat that garbage everyday they will not survive. I think it is a good idea to show people how unhealthy that stuff really is.

It scares me because I am a health conscious person. I don't just eat and eat random food. As much as possible, what I eat are foods which I think is good for my body and will help my body to become healthy. However, I can't still get away with food that tempts me a lot that I have to give in and take a bite.

The key to this is to really eat in moderation. And nutritionist say that in order for us not to get fat even if we eat a lot of calories is to burn it through exercise or any daily activity. Meaning that if you live a sedentary lifestyle, then there is no need for you to consume more than 2000 calories. A few weeks back, I tried counting the calories and limiting my food intake since I need to lose weight due to my hypertension. What happened was the exact opposite. I gained 5lbs with eating only oatmeal and veggies, and to think I cut out on our staple carbs, which is rice. I also felt weak and dizzy. So now, I no longer count the calories and I have started eating normally again and my weight is dropping again. The calorie counter is just a guide. People love to blame something or someone for what is happening in their lives. Fast food chains entice you to eat at their restaurant, but they did not force you to eat extra helpings. It's still up to you to decide what you eat, regardless of the calories.

I always eat double whopper lol never Jr . I dont mind how many calories they showing , if I feel to eat something I will eat it I will not deprive myself . I am not watching calories since I dont need to at this time of my life , and even If I was a person that puts on weight easy I would eat it and work it off .

I don't care about how many calories I consume. I do care, however, about all the nasty rubbish that is in the "food" at such places. I also care about the impact that such places have on the environment and society.

Putting Nutritional facts with the menu kills your appetite. Still you can skip looking at it and enjoy your favorites. :)

Oh yeah its scare me since I am trying to lose weight and always have to check the calories of food I am eating and right now I don't remember when was the last time I had Mcdonald. I had KCF 3 weeks ago and burger king 2 weeks ago I think but I didnt eat the way I eat before

They do the same at most fast food places here in Mexico.. but do you think people really pay attention to them? I never have.

I guess, in a way, I hope it DOES scare us a little. Before I knew what I was actually putting in my body, I would eat tons of that stuff without blinking. I'd drink several (or more) cans of soda a day. Every meal was full of garbage. Now that the information is put in front of my face, I still can't say I'm a health food nut - but I do at least think about it before I eat certain foods, cut down on the amount of it I take in, and make other changes to adapt my lifestyle if I do decide to consume lots of fat. It's easy to exercise a bit more or eat less calories at other meals. I hope having the information at least causes us all to slow down and think about what we're eating.
