In 2000 Americans spent over 110 billions dollars in on fast food. There are over 20 fast food restaurants in Mishawaka alone. 30% of Indiana's’ youth is overweight. Americans call a situation when healthy food is replaced with unhealthy food a “food swap”. Continuously keeping up with a diet of fries, soda, and chicken nuggets can be so unhealthy to the point of death. Not getting the right nutrients can leave a black mark on your healthy life card. Most of the stuff found in fast food are just empty calories.

Though, realizing that fast food restaurants provide quick jobs for teens, unemployed adults, or retired adults, but consider the options on the menu, it’s not worth keeping. Healthier options aren’t provided on many fast food items.

“What about salads?” people ask, well there are 730 calories, 53 grams of fat, and 1,400 milligrams of salt according to Mcdonald’s nutrition information in the popular Mcdonald’s “Keep calm, caesar on”.  That's more than a double big mac from Mcdonald’s. The only really “healthy” option from Mcdonald’s in water and the “southwest salad”. The “southwest salad” is only 280 calories and 490 milligrams of sodium, which includes a creamy southwest dressing. For the truly health-conscious eater, a side salad without dressing is only 15 calories and 10 milligrams of sodium. Burger King’s popular “whopper” is 510 to 730 calories in ONE sandwich. Dairy queen’s small order of french fries is 163 calories versus a whole cucumber which is only a whopping 47 calories.

Local restaurants include McDonald's, Burger King, Taco bell and many others. The common message here? They’re all fast food, grease-filled, cheap, local areas for people to grab and go. Almost all of the options on the menu at these places are empty calories. Many local restaurants aren’t providing the basic nutrients needed for a healthy lifestyle.  Fast food has become so popular that even Famous youtubers are reviewing new items. Restaurants manipulating customers into attracting them by creating a fun character like Ronald McDonald. Indiana is ranked number 8 in the United States for most fast food resturants.

These are only a few reasons why fast food isn’t the best option. Though its “cheap” and “fast”, the side effect of death doesn’t seem to worth it. Fresh produce can just generally make people feel better and healthier.  So get out of the car and stop by the store.

“Fresh produce is too much” people comment. At Walmart, a 1 LB bag of carrots is only $0.78. A entire head of lettuce is only $0.98. But at Wendy’s a large order of fries is $2.19. So purchasing the fast food, is more expensive.
