Fast Food Nation Chapter 5

This chapter pretty much grossed me out when I was reading it. I know that if I decide to stop and grab fast food instead of cooking, I dont stop to think about what the food is made out of. I refuse to eat Taco Bell because of the meat, even though I dont know exactly what it is, I still wont eat their meat. Any other fast food place doesnt bother me too much but then again, I don't eat meat often so maybe thats why fast food doesnt bother me. After reading this chapter about processing and "natural flavors", I'm not to sure about any fast food place. I mean its commen sense that fast food isn't technically fresh food, because if it was  we wouldnt call it "fast" food right? If we could all stay home and cook food that fast that tasted as good, fast food restaraunts would probably cease to exist. If everyone in the world knew every, and I mean every ingredient in what they ate at fast food retaraunts, do you think that would stop any of us from eating it? My guess would be probably not. They make fast food so convenient for everyone, whether its a cheap dollar menu or just a time saver, and for those reasons, fast food is popular for everyone. They warn us on cigarette packs that if we smoke, we can get lung cancer and so on, but we still do it. If Mcdonalds put on their bag "This food can make you very unhealthy and overweight", would that stop us? Again, im guessing it wouldnt so what the point of warning us whats harmful and not harmful? Obviously, none of these warnings have any effect on us. I think the world makes it extremely hard for anyone to be as healthy as they can be because everywhere you turn, there is always something tempting you not to be healthy. Smoking, drinking, fast food, and so on are all tempations. Lets face it, nothings going to change, even if we are warned over and over what's bad for us.
