Differences between "FAST FOOD" & "JUNK FOOD"

an important note is not to waste time "talking" with certain people.....i.e...a certain lecturer by the description you give.

Fast food is food that does not take a long time, so it can be healthy, but everything in moderation is fine. Unfortunately I can't have pizza since it makes me sick, so I am a bit jealous of you.

well, I'm still a research worker, and "junior" lecturer, also still looking for doctorate degree... avoiding him... a senior? and could still possible to be my promotor???...

sometimes, you can't just avoid talking with it, yeah

The problem isn't really the preservatives, but the unnecessarily high amounts of things like calories, cholesterol, sodium, and saturated and trans fats common in commercial pizzas combined with the portion sizes. Compared with, say, steamed rice with grilled fish and other vegetables, yes, commercial pizzas are generally a far less healthy choice, especially considering the way most people eat pizza (who eats just one slice of pizza in a sitting?). Add to that the fact that most people do not seem to realize that metabolism slows with age and eat in their 40's like they did in their 20's.

As IA says, though, it's all about diet. You can eat pizza every day and be completely healthy if you balance those indulgences out in your other meals, keep your portions under control, and exercise. The problem is that the proliferation of cheap, high calorie fast food has made it much harder for people to achieve that balance. I know people who eat fast food three times a day, hit the gym at night, and wonder why they're fat.

yep, fat, calories, carbohydrates... in fact steamed rice with egg-coated tofu also has this...
I'll say I'm healthy enough, at least my lipid is under 3% and I'm not fat

IMO no food is bad as long you exercise enough and don't wish to live to be a hundred.

If you only eat vegetarian Indian food, you probably actually will live to be a hundred easily.

When I talk of fast food though, I think USA. Nothing matches a burger with melted cheese and onions browned on a slow flame in butter.
