If you care about the children, fast food needs to stop advertising the toys, stop with the sales, and should just close down. It’s for the best of all of our health. Do you know what’s really in your food? Fast food is delicious because of the salt, sugar, and fat that’s in it. Today, most foods are made in factories, frozen and processed. Most of their ingredients are covered with oil and it’s highly processed. Back in the old days, hamburgers were made from beef from a cow. Fast food buys their meat from local suppliers so fewer cattle were used
