A member asked:

Can fast food be healthy for you? or is it becoming the new tobacco?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends on the fast: Food. Most fast food restaurants now have healthier choices, including grilled chicken, salads, fruit cups etc. If you look at the fat content and total calories and choose wisely, it can be healthy. However, it is very expensive to do that, and you are far better off making your own healthier and far less expensive food.
