I gave up fast food two or three years ago. That poop just isn't worth putting into my body. Although I'll still have Subway whenever I go to the beach with my family and that's what they want (because if I protest they yell at me). But McDonald, Burger King, KFC, Wendy's, and all that other poop is out. If we're on the road, like a day-long drive to Florida, and everyone wants to stop for fast food, oh well I just don't eat breakfast/lunch/dinner that day.
Anyway, your opinions on fast food, maybe your favorite branch or whatever else?
Taco Bell is really the only fast food I eat anymore. McDonald's, etc. is just gross.
just Subway, does that count as fast food?

But Taco Bell had spider eggs in there food. That qualifies as gross, in my opinion.
And I think Subway qualifies, yeah.
Last time I ate Fast Food was... um... about 2 months ago, I think.
I generally hate ALL Fast Food, except Wendys, Arby's and SubWay
There is this REALLY amazing mexican style Fast Food place called Alfonso's. This is just... AHHHHHHH!!!
Other than that, it is rare for me to eat Fast Food. When I was younger, I ate it all the time, but it has slowed down as I grow older.

Urban legend.
Burger King is delicious. And McDonalds is pretty good when you haven't eaten any real food for a week. I also like Qdoba and Taco Bell.
Subway is terrible, it's like not even food. You guys must be crazy.
I gave up McDonalds like 10 years ago. I might get fries or icecream type stuff form there every once in awhile but I've almost never a burger from in like 10 years or so. And Burger King I actually haven't really been to in a while. But the rest of it is fair game. I probably get Chick-fil-A the most though.

I've never heard of Chick-fil-A

inb4 heart attack...
would you count pizza places as fast food? If you do pizza-hut and dominos are pretty good.
Eh, I try to stay away from McDonalds, but I do like Burger King and some things at Wendy's. Taco Bell is good. <3
I rarely eat fast food, though.

Heart attacks aren't caused by eating fast food. Most of the fat people I know don't eat fast food, and it isn't helping them at all. Fast food builds strong bodies.
Also, I forgot about Chick-fil-a, which is embarrassing because it's easily the best. It's barely even fast food, it's like a gourmet restaurant. I've always wanted to go to The Hear Attack Grill (http://heartattackgrill.com/) to get one of those burgers, but I don't live near Arizona.
Wendy's :3
The only reason I eat fast food more often than I normally would is because I work at a fast food place (White Castle), and we get free food on breaks. Other than that, I don't eat much fast food. When I do get fast food other than White Castle, it's always either Potbelly's or Subway, Wendy's, Arby's, Portillo's, or Burger King... McDonald's is just NASTY.
Anyone who thinks Fast Food is bad is a retard.
"Oh it makes you fat"
Only if you eat it like every intercourse ing day, you really think some boxed food at home is any better?
Anyways, I eat fast food every now and again, usually only when my gramma recycles her cans, but there are other occasions. I don't have a favorite, it's all really good... I seem to eat at Jack & the Box more than most places, but it isn't my favorite.

The fact that it is unhealthy (not necessarily makes you fat, it's health that is the issue here) is only one of my qualms against it. Another problem is the fact that it doesn't do anything for you. You don't stay full after a fast food meal. I'd rather eat a good, solid dinner that keeps me going for the rest of the day rather than a burger at McDonald's that'll only last me an hour or so.

1. He ate it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day, couldn't stop eating until it was all gone, not when full, so of course that happens.
2. since when can we use <> tags? I thought those didn't work... I thought we could only use [] for stuff like that o_o

1. That wouldn't happen with a more healthy, non-fast food meal. But regardless, my other point(s) still stand.
2. I don't know, I've always put in links using HTML code, that's the only way I know how to do it.
And I'm not saying fast food should be banned or anything like that. People can eat it and be in perfect health all their lives. For me, personally, it's just one thing I decided a while back to take off of my food list and I haven't missed it.
Oh yeah, there's also Five Guys Burgers&Fries which, from what i heard, is extremely greasy and fills you up for the entire day. Two people can share a small combo there, still have leftovers, and be full until the next morning.
I've never eaten there so I don't know. There's one down the highway from my house so I should go there.

My point never left, it is bad for you if you eat it every day (not exactly that, but you get my point)

Not to mention, most of it sucks anyway.
I'd rather have a 6 dollar steak cooked at home than a tiny ass 6 dollar poop burger from McDonalds.
I'm currently eating fast food every day (mostly McDonalds). See, these are the final days of my High School life, and I'd like to enjoy it by eating off campus with my friends, one of which just recently gained the ability to drive off campus. Granted, when I lock myself in the house after May 12, I'll probably live off of home-made food. And then, I'll go to college so I don't become creepily dependent on other people's food.
Super Size Me is completely unrealistic. Of course eating the same thing everyday is bad for you, that's not just McDonalds. JrDude knows what he's talking about, most anti-fast food talk is just communist propaganda to bring down the successful businesses of the world.
I will occasionally eat fast food...like, usually Arby's.
Then I will have Burger King or Taco Bell every now and then. I don't quantify Subway as fast food though.

Subway is fast, but the kind of food is way different than any other fast food. I consider it fast food in some cases, but not in the way we're talking about it here.
i like fast food but i cant eat it because it screws with my energy and makes me suck when soccer comes around.
and fast food isn't healthy. it's bathed in grease and you people who say it is fine for you are in denial.
Chick Fil eh is the best place ever.
I know, I spelled it wrong again.

I believe that's an exaggeration. Mexican and Chinese food has more grease than any traditional fast food restaurant I know. Grilled and chicken sandwiches, especially in places like Chick-fil-a, are downright good for you. Do some research.
I don't need research, Fast Food isn't good for you, but it isn't bad for you UNLESS YOU EAT IT A LOT (like every day). If I eat a burger from McDonald's once a week, I'm not gonna be super unhealthy because I got it from a fast food place, there will basically be nothing different about my health.

1. what the intercourse is chick-fil-a
2. i never said Mexican and Chinese food were better for you. I can't eat those either for the same reasons. this thread is about fast food, so that's what i was commenting on.
3. i never said they were still bad for you if you only eat it once in a while. nothing is bad if you eat it once in a while. im just saying i can't eat it during soccer season because it messes with my arteries and my running.

I've been to five guys once. it's a fun scene to chill with friends but the food sucks. i stuck with the peanuts that they give you by the barrel-full for the night.

If you haven't heard of Chick-fil-a...it's a place where they basically make burgers with chicken patties instead of beef.

you arent missing anything. all food is basically the same anyway. ive never been anywhere that was any more special than anywhere else.

Mah, THEBIRD's just afraid of his amigos ending up dinner.
THEBIRD clearly has no taste buds.
Chick-fil-a is the inventor of the chicken sandwich, you guys need to go there. But not on Sundays, they're owned by mormons or something.
