Burger King or Eating at Home

We all know that fast food can be more convenient than going home and cooking. But it isn't necessarily healthier. Fast food is clearly the Devil!

Don't get me wrong, I love the greasy goodness, but it isn't good for us. A couple of days ago Burger King released a 2,500-calorie pizza burger in New York. And yet people wonder why we as Americans are so fat. I know it's a choice whether we eat it or not, but if it's not created, we wouldn't have the temptation on our hands. Then we have the issue of wondering why younger kids are getting bigger. Well, for one thing, the kids meal we love to buy them, when we're tired from work and don't feel like cooking, has about 900 calories. That answer the question?

Big food chains like McDonald's and Burger King are trying to add healthier items to their menus. But to be honest, who wants to go to McDonalds to buy a salad? Why not just modify how and with what you cook the food with? Minimize the greasiness and maybe your pants size would minimize. But then I got to thinking isn't the greasiness the reason why we go to fast food joints?
