Fast food/Junk food lifestyles the next plague?

A lot of people like to eat their emotions away, and the usual comfort food is unhealthy and full of sugar and fat. Nobody thinks to pick up something healthy to eat when they're sad or bored. The choice to binge on celery instead of ice cream could not only prevent many diseases, but it can also help loose weight. Our life style of fast food effects us tremendously. This quick food is loaded with calories and fat, and it's unhealty, but we buy it and eat it without a glance at what's in it.

I will be the first to admitt that its hard to stay away from the Bic Macs and Baconators and so on, because we don't have the time to cook healthy or the money to buy healthy. But I, and everybody else, have to limit that intake. Naturalalternativechoices.com did a test that shows: out of 6000 people, over 16% consume high calororie foods with sugar content beyond daily value. So, we have to take every chance we get to eat right and make good dietary choices, or disease like obesity (dietary related diseases) will be Americas next plague.
