[quote=Anonymous]Although they might have some additives, nutritionally, the french fried and fried chicken sandwich you get at a restaurant are essentially the same as if you went home, cut up some potatoes, deep fried them, then mixed up some batter, coated a piece of chicken in that batter, deep fried it, and put it on a white flour bun.

Some people might say, hey, that's not that processed. I could imagine my grandmother making something like that. Therefore it's not that unhealthy.

But it's still a lot of deep fried food, which is a huge amount of work to make at home. That's why fast food is very different than homemade food: It makes it easy and fast to eat high calorie, low fiber food. And it probably has a lot of mayo or similar sauce, and there are little or no fruits or vegetables.

Once a week - fine. But many people eat it much more often than that.  "20 percent of fast-food eaters ... account for 60 percent of sales" (https://www.newsweek.com/fast-food-lovers-unite-127987)[/quote]
