The Fast Food Industry and Why I Hate It

The existence of the fast food industry presents a double-edged sword to society. It offers a cheap and affordable source of food for those who don't have the means to afford quality meals everyday. Sadly however, fast food is absolutely horrible for your innards and many of their representatives facilitate mass consumption of food that won't kill you unless you eat it constantly. Pretty grim.

I like to think of myself as a realist... but don't get me wrong I am pretty optimistic, I just see things how they are, especially businesses. Fast food companies will cut costs wherever necessary and if it means sacrificing their costumers' health they will not give it a second thought.

Fast food exploits those who do not have the ability to eat healthier and even advertise to children by offering cheap plastic toys. Fast food marketing is very reminiscent of smoking ads actually.

Needless to say I believe fast food does more harm than good.
