The disadvantages of fast food

1) Fast food menu items are high in fat

Most fast food items are usually cooked in fat like French Fries and Donuts, which makes these foods calorie dense. Eating such can lead to undesirable weight gain and many other health issues.

2) Fast food menu items contain food additives and preservatives

Most fast food items have food additives and preservatives which can cause cell damage and may lead to certain types of cancer if taken in excessive amount or frequently.

3) Fast food menu items are high in sugar

Desserts like ice cream, cakes and pastries are packed with sugar that if taken in large amounts can cause elevated blood sugar that may lead to diabetes.

4) Fast food menu items are high in sodium


These include pizza, fries and chips that if taken in excessive amount could lead to cardiovascular and kidney disease. It is because these foods are known to contain very high sodium content from the added salt and other preservatives.
