Fast Food Resturants do More Harm Than Good

Thank you, Con. I would like to congratulate you with a round of applause, for your fast response. However, we do have to debate. So, let's begin: "In my defence I will only say that just because something is hazardous for someone does not mean that it is hazardous for everyone else also. You see I won't deny the fact that such foods are the result of increasing obesity but that does not mean that there are no people in the world who do not consume these foods adequately (in proper quantity)." ~ Con I believe Con has agreed to me. If something is hazardous to someone, it means that the item is also hazardous to other people. You see, if you drank poison, it would definitely kill someone else. Hazardous = dangerous. Hazardous- full of risk http://dictionary.reference.com... "Too much of anything is too bad be it anything. Well, let us take an example; reading is considered to be a good hobby, a friend of mine is so addicted to this hobby that she reads day and night due to which she has been neglecting her household chores.(I know you may consider this out of context but I have just used it as an example of how good things used/done in excess can be fatal).Moreover in a bad economy the quick-and-cheap temptation can often be hard to resist. As an informed customer,one can make healthier choices and still enjoy the price and convenience of fast food restaurants." ~ Con So, how does neglecting household chores is fatal? Fatal- causing death http://www.merriam-webster.com... Yes, we COULD make better choices, but do we? The majority would not be making better choices. "As far as my opponents argument is concerned the above was my reply.Now let us move on to my arguments: 1)Fast food is delicious, it's filling, is really affordable, and readily available just any time of the day, being only a drive through phone call away. What more can you ask for when you are living life in the fast lane?" ~ Con Many foods are delicious, but you have to examine the content. Orange chicken may be delicious, but some contain a high content of MSG. Certain fast foods are not affordable nor filling, too. Let's go with the "Apple Fries" from Burger King. It is not very filling. Now, let's examine Carl's Jr. The 6 dollar burgers are definitely not affordable to many people, since many of them are on a budget. My opponent has stated a very helpful tip to the eaters of fast food, but many adults and kids decide to eat the most delicious meals. They do not care about the content, thus leading them into obesity. Let's remember that we have TV. Kids will watch an average of 4 hours a day, thus leaving it a fact that fast food TV = obesity. If you ate rice, vegetables, spaghetti, or bread and watched TV for 4 hours, you will not get as obese as if you ate fast food and watched TV for 4 hours. Therefore, fast food contains many harms. If you often eat fast food, it leaves you vulnerable to the obesity epidemic. http://kidshealth.org... "3)Moreover fast food may not always cause obesity.I can only say that if my readers and opponents are too concerned about this factor then they canrefer to the following website and probably help make restaurants better (if that is what they think, although trust me; it is totally unnecessary)" ~ Con My opponent has stated that fast food may not cause obesity, but, may is a word of probability. We also know that fast food almost always causes obesity, but there are many other things that cause obesity like junk food. However, we know that fast food is a factor of the obesity epidemic. With the source about http://findarticles.com...... , I believe that my opponent has read about Taco Bell. It shows that the new menu, The New Fresco Menu, shows that it contains items that include 350 calories. 350 calories is a bit over what you should eat for breakfast, but many adults and kids add a drink to it, leaving the meal at about 400+ calories. http://findarticles.com... ==> Conclusion As you can possibly see, fast food is the main factor of the obesity epidemic. If you eat less of fast food, it would not be as vulnerable as the people that constantly eat fast food. With that note, I will conclude my side of Round 3 with some additional comments: Happy Holidays and thank you, Con and the readers, for reading my side of this debate and Con's side of this debate. My family wishes you guys a Merry Christmas, or a Happy Hanukkah, or Kwanzaa, or... whatever you believe in that I have not mention. Thank you! Sincerely, Yugi
