Side Effects

Maintaining nutritional balance is not easy with fast food as there is no control over how they are cooked. For example, some cooked with a lot of oil and butter and there may be no option if you want this selection with reduced fat. The large portions also encourage overeating. Fast foods also tend to be short on fresh fruits and vegetables.

In general, people with high blood pressure, diabetes and heart disease must be much more careful about choosing fast food due to the high content of fat, sodium and sugar.
