Back home, where fast food is part of some peoples everyday life, I almost never ate out. Here in Brasil, where fast food is like a cardinal sin, I eat out all the time. McD's is just a block away and I get so tired of beans and rice! And once I got food poisoning off the meat (they dont seem to think leaving meat out for hours is a bad thing). Ever since I've been kind of averted to all Brasilian food.

I'm not a fast food person. The only things I get from a fast food joint would be when I go to Wendys, I get a garden salad and a baked potato. Or if I go to Mc Donalds I get a parfait & a garden salad. I really can't stomach anything else from these places, not just because of all the chemicals, fillers and who knows what else in them. If I want a burger I want a real big juicy one. I prefer to make my own at home or from a diner. It's a lot healthier and I know how lean the meat is and what is in it. Those little things they call meat or burgers at fast food places just isn't appealing to me

What happened to 'things in moderation does no harm'?

The problem is I don't people have any moderation in their diets. They just have what they want, as much of it as they can get every day. If they can supersize it for a few cents extra, they will.

I do eat some junk food here & there and things that are high in fat. But I don't do it every single day. I usually have that one day a week that where I will have something out of my diet. But next day it's back to eating good/healthy.

I can't tell you how many people I see just eat complete garbage day in & day out on a daily basis. There is someone I know who has fast food almost every single day. Any moderation there? I don't think so. No wonder they are so overweight.

Fast food is ok, It's just......too available and too much. Why not sell it smaller and a bit cheaper? It could maybe change habits.

Moderation confuses people, I think.
There's this poster in my school's healthroom that shows a plate of a dinner you'd get at say, Friday's or something. And then it shows the "Correct portionage" which is like, one third of a burger, double the broccoli and double the bread.

It all boils down to... portion control, can help ensure that you're eating the right serving sizes.

I usually try to keep away from too much fast food, but every now and then that craving just comes and I have to have it.

Few of the respondents blamed their government for rising levels of obesity, and blamed the variety of unhealthy food available on the shelves.

Of course, you can't blame the people eating it.

I wouldn't give up fast food

If I had to watch my weight or my health then I would make the effort. But no matter what I eat I don't put on weight.

And its not like I eat it everyday, maybe once every couple weeks I guess.
