Possibly: Eating nutrition-poor, high-fat, high-carbohydrate, processed foods like fast food will increase your risk of diabetes, obesity, heart disease, cancer, etc. It's not an immediate thing. It builds up over years. Better options include your local grocery stores, fresh soups, and simple meals prepared the night before.
