Normally in Mexico I don't eat a lot of fast food, but here in the United States I do. Normally I try to think that I am getting into my body but I do not give it the importance that I gave it in Mexico since it tastes good. I am one of those students who gained weight when they were in use and the best way I had to resist to fast food is my mom
ReplyDeleteNo, I don’t eat much junk food. When I eat junk food I don’t care about what it has I just eat it. I am not gaining weight this year, but is because I have a fast metabolism, but I understand the people can gain weight. In my case I don’t care what to eat I preferred eaten good food but if it is impossible I would eat the junk food
ReplyDeleteI used to eat less junk food when I was in China. I like ramen and barbecue. But when I came to the United States, junk food is everywhere, so I eat a lot of junk food now. After I came to the U.S., I started thinking about how to eat healthier, because many people said getting fat is easy in America. After I came to the United States, I gained 16 pounds. I agree that this is because of junk food, we have junk food at every meal, and I basically don’t exercise, so getting fat is easy. For how to resist eating junk food, I found that after eating junk food for two months, I started to like vegetables. If you especially like junk food, you can put vegetables next to it. After that you will gradually like vegetables.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, the cultures of the two countries are different, and in a sense, what they eat is certainly different. I grew up in China, and the food at us is not necessarily all Chinese, but it is also very popular, such as KFC McDonald's Burger King and so on. I don't think the damage to the body is great, as long as the ingredients and materials are qualified. After all, fast food is fast and full. Most fast foods are meat foods, so getting fat is essential. Compared to Chinese food, it pays more attention to details, but it will be slower. But the taste is good, but in fact, every country has food that every country likes to eat, not necessarily the same. So I do n’t think it ’s very important, but I suggest fast food can be eaten but try not to eat too many times, because a lot of meat will cause you to gain weight, and there will be some vegetables in Chinese food, focusing on nutrition, so let me choose I will still Eat Chinese food because I'm used to eating.

I like fast food very much. I eat fast food almost every day, but I never gain weight because of fast food. I have to exercise to control my weight friendly after eating fast food every day
ReplyDeleteI really eat a lot fast food. I know fast food is not good for our body but price is cheap and easy to order and eat. I learned a lot of American are gained weight because of fast food. When I eat fast food, after eat fast food I always do exercise, so I don’t care about calories.
ReplyDeleteI am eating more fast food in the United States than when I was in Korea. Of course, I know fast food is not good for you, but many people enjoy fast food even if they know it. There are many fast food restaurants near our school. Many people think that this accessible restaurant is a fast food because it has good taste and can solve a meal quickly. Some students come to the United States and think that the fatness is due to changes in their eating habits. Many American foods, including fast food, are more oily than other countries', because there are many fried foods in the United States. I think it is not just because I have a lot of fast food, but because of changes in eating habits, and I think that fast food does not need to be eaten healthy.Of course, it is true that it is not good for the body, so you should not eat too often, but if you want to eat fast food more healthily, it will not be a true fast food.
ReplyDeleteI can't say I hate it or I like fast foods. I don’t like it because they’re unhealthy. Fast foods like hamburger and fried chicken doesn’t have enough vegetables or vitamins for daily needs, and after we eat it, we’re very easy to gain wealth. I like it because they’re super convenient. Think about the price, they have low price for a meal. When I was in busy and hungry, the first thing comes to my mind must be fast foods. I think fast foods should be sustained, because poor people can’t always afford a big meal. Fast food is cheap and convenient so it can help them from starving. Unlike those poor people, we can choose anything we like to eat. If we want to eat in a five star restaurant or eat in McDonald’s, that doesn’t matter, but poor people might not have that ability to choose what they want to eat. So in my opinion, fast food both has a good side and a bad side.
ReplyDeleteMy lunch at school is fast food every day. Many people eat fast food and gain weight. Because many foods in fast food are fried and high in calories. So exercise every day to maintain your weight. Western food and Chinese food still prefer Chinese food, because I think the taste of western food is too heavy. There is a lot of salt in the food.
ReplyDeleteI think it depends on everyone's eating habits and lifestyle. But if you eat some junk food every day, it will cause physical discomfort and symptoms.
ReplyDeleteI usually eat fast food and I think we can consume it very well. But I disagree that eating fast food will gain weight, because I don’t gain weight after I come to the USA. Some people may think fast food is unhealthy, however, I think fast food is healthy, because there are vegetables and meat in the hamburger.
ReplyDeleteI sometimes eat fast food. Because I think it's not healthy. But, there is the truth that it's very connivence and cheap. The fast food also has many calories. I think it is a reason that cause students gain weight.I think one of the solution is to do more exercise and decrease the times of eating the fast food.
ReplyDeleteSometimes eat fast food, it is very important, before I eat will consider the concept of time, a lot of the time I eat fast food because time is not enough, and sometimes just want to eat, because of fast heat particularly big, easy to get fat, so it is very important, because I'm on a diet, if go to eat fast food, the food also to order, or don't eat is the best, so I also lost a lot in the United States
ReplyDeleteAm eating so many fast foods and am trying to control it and not to eat . In my country we don't have that much don't have to eat, so I don't do that but sometimes I don’t eat cooked food . That is so unhealthy but I r things and sometimes the foods that are here are not available to my religion so I can't eat them . In the cafeteria there are many foods that are not available to my religion so I am eating fast foods and I just gained so much weight now but I am not stopping eating fast foods but I'm trying.
ReplyDeleteI don't eat fast food very much. We should not choose a meal early or cheap. Because diet is very important to our health. Fast foods are high in calories and are not good for your health. If you eat fast food frequently, you will not be able to get sick or healthy in the future. We should eat with a good nutritional balance. The government should reduce the number of fast food stores. Schools should serve healthy food.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was in Korea, I did not eat fast food that much. I used to eat more “Korean” dish which my mom made than hamburgers, pizzas, or fries. But after I came here, I started to eat more and more fast food. The fast food is everywhere, even in the cafeteria. Everyone knows it’s unhealthy. So I am really trying hard to think about nutritions or calories before I eat something and resist fast food. And I work out everyday to control my body weight. I think it is very important to consider what you eat and try to have a healthy diet.
ReplyDeleteActually, I don't enjoy eating fast food that much. However, because of its convenience, I sometimes eat fast food when I am busy. Also, I think it is true that students say that they gain more weight when they come to America. This is because in the U.S, people can get access to fast food more easily than other countries like Korea. Therefore, fast food should be healthier by lowering calories or increasing the percentage of vegetables, and I think it is very important for people's health.
ReplyDeleteSince I got here, I started to eat a lot of junky food because it’s always in the cafeteria and in the restaurants from outside. I like junky food and now I’m used to it so I don’t even think about what’s going in my body because I’ve been eating it for too long and nothing has happened to me. I think is important don’t eating a lot of fast food because you can gain weight or even start getting sick of some serious ill.
ReplyDeleteI don't eat fast food very often. But fast food is cheap and convenient, so many people often use it. Of course everyone knows that eating too much fast food is bad for health, but it is hard to stop. Our society is already too fit for people to eat fast food. And it seems like people have become too tame with fast food and are now a culture. Therefore, I hope that fast food restaurants will have more healthy foods that people can take care of their health.
ReplyDeleteWhen I came here I started to eat fast food a lot. In korea I don’t eat fast food often but in America, most of foods are fast food. Fast food is not healthy food but we can save time and it’s also cheap. But when we eat a lot of fast food we gonna get fat. So we should stop eating fast food for our health
ReplyDeleteI often eat fast food and love this flavor. But as the article says, my weight has increased rapidly after I came to the United States. I think we should properly control the number of fast foods and eat more vegetables
ReplyDeleteI don’t usually eat fast food Before , and I start eat more fast food when I come to American. I don’t prefer eat fast food because it too much calories and don’t have enough nutrition, but I can’t change my the food because don’t have any thing else to eat and it cheap, fast.
ReplyDeleteI sometimes eat fast food when I am so lazy and don’t have time to cook. So I prefer to eat fast food. It is so comfortable, convenient and cheap. But the fast food is not good for your health. I will try to not use too much of fast food. Finally, fast food is very popular in the world like America.
ReplyDeleteI personally don’t eat fast food that much at home, but since I got to the US I have been consuming more fast food than a use to and I learned to enjoy it very much because regardless to it’s unhealthy ingredients it taste amazing and fast food placer are great to hang out with your friends while enjoying an tasty meal. I like Wendy’s the best because their spicy chicken sandwich is great and the frosty which is their icream is cheap and tastes great.
ReplyDeleteIn the school there is a lot of fast food but I normaly eat good not fast food but sometimes. Many people think that this accessible restaurant is a fast food because it has good taste and can solve a meal quickly. Some students come to the United States and think that the fatness is due to changes in their eating habits. 😃
ReplyDeleteBefore coming here y only ate fast food sometimes but here I eat fast food at least every week more than one time. And I always try to think about the things I am eating but sometimes I forget to do that and for me the most important thing for a food is the taste .
ReplyDeleteI gain like 6 kilograms since I came here and I know that is all because the fast food
(Beto)
I have ate fast food all my life and is delicious, but is really bad to a person because have bad things an is no good for your body. I gain a lot because the fast food and I don’t know how to stop eating fast food.
ReplyDeleteYes, I often eat fast food. There are many kinds of fast food that are convenient and cheap. In China, there are various kinds of fast food, such as Shaxian snack and braised chicken rice. Of course, there are KFC McDonald's and so on. Although many people think that fast food is unhealthy, it's really a good way for me to eat.

ReplyDeleteI eat at home sometimes fast food but its not usually. The time when we are buying junk food with my family we are on the hurry. In the USA i have eaten a lots of fast food because im hungry. That’s im feeling most of my time in TA. It’s always tasty when you are super hungry so you don’t taste how bad it it’s. If i could have a change to eat healthyer i would eat. You can’t stop eating fast food here because it’s everywhere.
ReplyDeleteI eat fast food. When I eat, I only think about its taste. I do n’t care about getting fat. It ’s inevitable that you will get fat by eating fast food. So I think eating healthier snacks just prevents you from getting fat, so it's not very important to me
ReplyDeleteI ate fast food almost everyday including McDonald’s and Wendy’s because it arrives fast and is easy to order ,I just eat fast food in the USA because in panama I don’t like it that much ,i stopped to eat so much fast food because I feel it wasn’t so healthy so I started to order sushi because is healthier.
