Scary Facts About Fast Food!

March is National Nutrition Month in the United States – who ironically enough is home to over 300,000 fast food restaurants. To commemorate this month of nutrition education and information, I thought I would share this eye-opening infographic from Online Schools called, “Everything You Need to Know About Fast Food”. But before I do, I would like to bring the following 4 facts about the fast food industry to your attention; food for thought – if you will :)!

  • One fast food hamburger may contain meat from 100 different cows.
  • Every month, about 9 out of 10 American children visit a McDonald’s restaurant.
  • Second only to Santa Claus, Ronald McDonald is recognized by over 96% of American children.
  • Eating fast food can result in high levels of insulin, which has been linked to rising incidences of Type 2 Diabetes.

For more of these scary fast food facts, visit the Examiner.com website.

    WOW! This is incredible, disgusting but incredible at the same time. This is what i have tried to tell people over my blog. Though i cant find a website that could have facts that everyone can believe in. This post is allot like others i’ve seen and i believe it to be correct though there are some people in the world who just don’t get how bad this is. McDonalds is one of the largest industries in the world, it has the most heath violations and most of the food is literally questionable but yet again due to money it is allowed to stay open. Its sad really. Im glad to see other people in the world learning about these things and trying to share them with the world. -Cassandradeeshelp.wordpress.com

    The job of the parents is to inform their children of the pros and cons of eating unhealthy food. If they love their children they should not let them over indulge.
