It's loaded with sugar, salt, carbohydrates and calories! It's called fast food because they make it fast and not necessarily healthily.

It contains more tasty elements than healthy elements, lot of greasy and fat content. Also includes high calorie, unhealthy fat and artificial sweeteners. These all gives the required taste but they are unhealthy..results in many health problems.

Answer

Fast food is considered not healthy because it is processed food. It is very high in saturated and trans fat. Usually it contains preservatives.

Answer

Though these foods are tasty but contains unhealthy fats, added sugar and very less nutrition in it.

Answer

Because it&rsquo;s laden with sugars and salts to make something that ordinarily you wouldn&rsquo;t eat taste good.... and whilst it&rsquo;s labelled as bad it makes you want it more because you shouldn&rsquo;t! If you saw the process of these fast foods and how they get there and what goes in you would t eat it.... and actually fast foods even though yes they&rsquo;re fast... I believe they are named fast as they are a fast way to harm and actually the effort to get fast food is very slow and costly and the time money and effort into here so called fast foods are what we are not realising!!!
