I was checking out the calorie count and nutritional information for some popular fast food meals, and it’s shocking. They are loaded with fat, carbohydrates and sodium, all of the worst kind. The quantities are staggering. Eating at these restaurants with any regularity can only have a highly negative effect on a person’s health, to a much greater extent than I appreciated in the past (though of course I knew places like McDonalds weren’t the healthiest).

Maybe if people actually see these horrible calorie counts in black and white (worse even than the calories is the volume of sodium, cholesterol and carbs in those meals), the smarter ones will start to seek out other alternatives. It just seems as if these chains have gone out of their way to make their meals as unhealthy as possible. Maybe they’ll be forced to come up with something better if people demand it.
