No, fast foods is all really healthy, have you ever tried dipping your head in lard? (By the way that's meant to be ironic, please don't take it as insult, but ask a silly questions and you will get silly answers!)

Ah, ok, that makes more sense! Maybe it was just me not really reading it properly!
Although I'm no scientist or anything I think just about all processed foods have additives which are really not too good for you, and fast food has to be amongst the worst, not just for additives but the fact that a lot of it is deep fried.
I'm not really sure how bad for you it all is, but it's got to be better to try and avoid putting stuff like that into your body hasn't it and eat natural foods?!?!

yes hamburgers are very fattening. especially eating it with coke and fries. a hamburger is around 1600 calories. thats a lot of calories for one hamburger.

I'll tell you a secret. its true in europian and in the USA and some other parts of the world that uses real beef meat. but in third world it more like healthy. why if you ask.they uses lots of extenders. this extenders are mostly soybean based product that mimic the taste of beef by adding some seasonings. some hamburger in third world country is not even beef, their pork and chicken. that is why they are cheaper compared to a raw beef. on the other hand soybeans is a healthier source of protien :)
