Fast food is bad food. That is common knowledge these days. The majority of the foods served at fast food restaurants contain an insane amount of calories, tons of fat, and are high in pretty much everything else that you would want your food to be low in. Long story short, it is the kind of food you want to avoid eating. But, you probably know this already. The funny thing is, most of the world doesn't seem to
care. The fast food restaurants continue to do just fine because people continue to eat their
unhealthy food. So I figured, if you are still going to eat this junk, you might as well at least
know which is the best of the worst, and which is the worst of the worst.
I've compared the nutrition facts of the most popular foods from 2 fast food restaurants within
my local living area. Let's see how each restaurant version of pretty much the same exact food is
in comparison with each other and in what they serve. If this isn't enough to convince you to eat
less (or none) of this stuff, it will at least give you the information you need to make the better
choice and avoid making the worst one. I personally do not frequent fast food chains very often
because of the way I feel after eating a burger and fries. To me it makes me feel real sluggish and
full of grease and fat. Hopefully after this it will make you think twice about super-sizing you
fries or adding bacon to you already fat laced hamburger.
