Fast food and trans fat

Many fast foods contain trans fat, one of the worst things that
you can put into your body. These fats should be avoided like the

plague, as they may lead to a host of health problems, including:

■ Coronary heart disease
■ Stroke

■ Diabetes
■ Cancer
■ Obesity
■ Infertility

■ Premature aging

... And that’s just the short list!

Consider that KFC’s pot pie contains 14 grams of trans fat, and
Burger King’s hash browns contain 13 grams. Jack in the Box offers
bacon potato cheddar wedges that contain 12 grams, while a large
order of McDonald’s fries contains 8 grams of trans fat.

The only way these fast-food chains will stop serving such
unhealthy meals is if consumers stop purchasing them and demand
something better!

When you think about the damage that fast foods are doing to your
body, it seems silly to spend any money at these places at all.
