Why is eating your food quickly bad for you?

User Avatar

Asked by Fabiola2009

No, fast foods are generally not good for people if they live off it. There are three things that make food taste good and that is salt, sugar and fats. The FDA is now on a rampage and forcing many restaurants (some of the big franchises) to clean up their act. Now there are more fast food restaurants where you can have the choice of healthy foods such as salads, homemade soups, etc., or junk food.

Junk food causes obesity in people and isn't heart healthy. However, in the Western countries we are suppose to have freedom of choice so if a person doesn't care enough to eat properly and only have a little junk food (treats every so often) then they pay the price. If we start allowing governments to dictate what we can eat, where one can smoke (even outside) then they will be telling you what you can read, what religious beliefs you can have and that's called dictatorship.

In general (although there are exceptions), fast food items contain too much salt, fats, carbs, and cholesterol to be considered "healthy" (Or rather, "healthful", as the correct term is.)

A documentary was made, in which an individual ate 3 meals a day at McDonald's for a month. This was done under a doctor's observation. According to the doctor involved and the physical appearance of the individual, his health suffered greatly from the experiment.

Is eating freezer ice bad?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

eating freezer ice is the least thing to do especially if u dont have a cold water, it's not safe... first it is composed of contaminated water because of the food inside the fridge, freshmeat leaks, and if ur unlucky and ur still using the freon fridge it could cause damages to your health in the long run. so it's still better to put a water in a stainless container and wait for ten minutes for u to have a cold water than take the risk of eating something u don't know what it's made of. -BELLE

Can you sue for a band aid in your food?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, you can sue, because it should be against permit policiy. :)

It is also a safety hazard because it could contain blood from someones body that could be contaminated with all sorts of disease, potentially making you very ill.

You can't sue just because it is there. You would need to claim some kind off damage from it.

Most restaurant owners will feel genuinely embarrassed by it and offer some compensation as a customer satisfaction issue as well as to prevent publicity and reports to the board of health.

How do Food items get easily spoiled in summer?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Milk spoilage is generally the result of microbiological growth. In summer, temperatures normally go high - like 30 to 40 centigrade - which is the best growing temperature for micro-organisms. So milk spoils faster in summer. Winter temperatures are colder which will slow the growth of the spoilage microbes.

How dangerious is eating moldy jerky?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Your body is always eating some form of spore that floats in the air and lands on food, your hand, your mouth, or someone elses mouth. Your stomach contains a gastric acid, the purpose of which is to kill these molds. But then it depends on how much mold one injests. If the gastric acid can't handle the amount of mold, it will cause your body to react and vomit the uninvited guest.

Is Household mold dangerous?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends on what you mean. It can be dangerous to breathe mold spores. It can also cause other problems occasionally if you eat the mold or get it on your skin. Most of the extreme danger is to people who are allergic, but in general it is good to discard food that is moldy, and clean up mold in your home to avoid general health problems.

What happens when you eat a live shrimp?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Then it's ok! Don't worry.

Then you digest it. Don't worry, a single shell isn't going to hurt you. -Original Answer

Actually, that is partially correct.

It won't hurt you at all, in fact it is beneficial! The shell is made up of Chitin, is an organic fiber. It helps immensely in healing wounds, it is anti fungal & anti bacterial, and it also helps block fat. If you throw away the shell, you're throwing away something that your body uses daily (and most people lack fiber in their diet!)
