Calories and Health
 Fast Food Restaurants are the most unhealthy place to eat food. The amount of calories in one quarter pound burger with a large fry and a large Coke at McDonald's meal is 1550 calories. This is way to many calories for one meal, let alone almost enough for one day, an average adult only needs 2200 calories a day! So this is more then 3/4 of an adults daily calorie intake. This compared to a healthy fast food meal, a Subway ham sandwich, which has only 261 calories, and 1260 grams of sodium! That is much more healthy! The average amount of calories in a McDonald's Kids Meal® is 430 calories, 1/3 of the recommended amount of kids daily calorie intake, look at these two kids, they're eatng the McDonald's Kids Meal®. Fast Food is so popular that people even eat it in other countries, like Nepal.

How Often Do People Eat at Fast Food Chains?
Can you believe, millions of people eat fast food each day<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">. According to an Oak Brook, Illinois-based company more than 50 million people a day visit one of the more than 31,000 McDonald's located in 118 countries around the globe, that's 4 million more on average, that ate at the restaurant chain four years ago. McDonald's is the biggest toy company in the world, that shows how many kids eat there each day! If McDonald's produces 50 million meals a day, and kids eat there as often as adults, then 25 million toys are produced each day, at least. So imagine the last time you ate at a fast food chain, also remember the last time you got a physical, were you lighter? Were you heavier, is your cholesterol high, how about your metabolism? The higher your metabolism is the better you digest things, the more energy you have, and the less leftover calories you have. Are you overweight? If you are, overweight, have high cholesterol, don't work out or don't play any sports, then eating fast food can be a __//**REAL**//__ risk. So ask yourself, is fast food right for you?
