Fast food has it's place in our lives.

Just don't go there every day. Food is neutral, it isn't poison. A big mac when there are only 20 minutes is ok.

1. Read
"Fast Food Nation" and I guarantee that you'll change your mind. Only twenty minutes? Takes nothing to warm up a can of organic soup in the microwave. Takes nothing to steam vegetables. I'm sure you get my point. Happy eating!

3. I agree
I have McD's once or twice a year when my back is to the wall. But it is not a first, second, third, or 99th choice.

Supersize is making a comeback.

"Fat is mainstream, which is why everyone has become complacent," Marion Nestle, the author, nutrition professor and food-industry critic, told Ms. Gogoi. "What used to be considered pudgy before isn't even worthy of a comment today."
