These unique
ingredient
combinations signal

the brain that we
need more, and
encourage us to
overeat. Americans

spend almost 50
percent of their food
budget on fast food,
or in restaurants where this food combination method is heavily

used. Fast food is designed to entice and induce “craveability.”
This, after all, drives business. However, sadly, it also destroys
health. It really is best to just say no to fast food.

Many fast-food eateries have been touting their so-called healthier
options after promising to make nutritional improvements in the
food they serve, but unfortunately, they’ve failed to come through.
While they have increased the use of the term “healthy” on their

menus, simply labeling food as such doesn’t make it so.

A study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine
found that over the last decade or so, while the use of the word

“healthy” increased by 86 percent, the nutritional quality of fast food
meals improved just three percent between 1997 and 2010.
