You can be sure fast food is pre-engineered to meet maximum bliss point. So you will get addicted and want ever more of it.

When on the road, I have a little propane-burner that works great at cooking meals. Or I go into a
grocery-store, pick-up something healthy that does not require cooking.

We would all be better off Never eating fast food, however many (probably most) people give in to it since it’s fast, convenient and tastes great. Other than that, it’s probably one of the worst things you can do to your body.

Soy is not bad for you. Anti-vegan propaganda to get more people to eat meat. It's the non-organic soy produced with hexane that is bad. Only buy organic.

Personally, I would prefer going to a local diner. On one of our trips there was a small diner where the parking lot was packed. Not a good sign? Locals. No, husband wanted to go to McD's down the road instead.

By accident in our travels we discovered a very small (only 6 tables) diner on the side of a rural gas station. Tom's Country Kitchen. Lines to get inside. Grandpa Tom cooked. Grandma Nancy waited tables, and greeted customers by first names. Definitely local people from workmen in hard hats, to young families, to Seniors. My kind of place. Grandma told me they had been in business there for over 30 years.

Similar situation in Florida and Mom and Pop Pizza places. Always used to go to one local small place. Totally family run. I worked with their special needs son in public school. Mom and Dad knew me from that. Again, it was all LOCAL people going there.

Apart from the good food and service, it is also supporting your small local business owners, and giving back to your community; not fast food chains. Sorry to get political.

Urban legend.

I actually ate at the Taco Bell by work recently, hadn't been there for years. It was absolutely delicious, super fresh, and I love that FIRE sauce.

Jo, I don't eat fast food often, if I do I get the grilled chicken salads (love the ones at Chick Fil A, Wendy's & Zaxby's). However, I ate some of my husband's fries recently and had the worst stomach ache.

Well good for you, do not eat the garbage. Just have a salad. I know at least two women in my college campus that eats nothing but Salad. That is it. Find something small to eat, that is it and load up on black coffee ( coffee with no milk, sugar, or bs ) develop a taste for water and become like the "waterboy". Ever traveled up north and pump the water at a camp site? It was the most sweetest water ever tasted.

Fast Food is meant for young couples in High School at the Soda shop. That is what FF is for. Fast food is for me and you when I was trying to get down your and you was like messing with my head. That is what FF is for. As a memory of FF yes go to a diner ( once in a blue moon ). Otherwise just get the Salad.

I have a Coca-Cola sign with a Hotdog for 15 cents on it. Back when I had a small job ( minium wage + overtime + $2 ) I was literally eating $100 dollar meals at least once a week. It was that terrible I literally would go and seat myself in a restaurant, even when I was wet and get Sushi + Saki and tried so many things on the menu that I did not understood and left a big tip. It was all good.

Nobody drinks Soda or most of anything FF asides for Chinese food store. Even that has options.

Could some of it be in your head? A salad from chick fil a shouldn’t upset your stomach if other salads are okay.
