Fast food carries empty calories, lots of sodium

I am a student at UMass Lowell, a health education major in my junior year. Recently in our public-health class we were instructed to research Burger King's new "Guiding Principles for Childhood Nutrition" ...

Oh ya, here is some breaking news. You are going to college to learn this. Give me a break. I will agree with you, fast food places serve nothing nutritional, but it is nothing new to people with 10% brain function. I do not eat at places like this, but you writing such a letter as this is cracking me up. Anyway, all the best in your life, and hopefully your education will pay off better.

Nothing get's you back on track after a long night of drinking than a Quarter Pounder with Cheese, and a supersize fountain coke.
The truth hurts

YUP, a greasy chees steak sub does the trick. Extra peppers, mushrooms, pickles.

If there is anyone out there who does not already know that fast food is not the healthiest for you they have been living under a rock, or thick as a brick. I don't know that we need to research this. Take control of your own actions, it is not the chain foods fault that some people make bad decisions. Everyone enjoys a trip through the drive through now and then, but if you make a regular habit of it you know the consequences. If we as people are not aware of this by now to bad!

I can agree with that, but it is good hangover food. That's about it. On another note; don't you just love it when you see someone order too much food and then they turn around and ask for a diet coke. That is the funniest thing.

Of the article is NOT that fast food is bad for you! Bronson do you have a reading comprehension problem? Try college! The point is Burger King is attemping to PR it's way into fooling people that they are becoming more conscious of providing 'healthier' fast food options when in reality those options are NOT healthier in any way shape or form. Read it again, maybe it will sink in!

Gotta have respect for Burger King. They're sticking to their guns and not giving in to the health freak lobbyist's. When you want something that tastes good, fills the hole and don't care about the calories, BK's the answer!

You know what I'm tired of? When they add things to the menu for a 'limited time only', then you end up liking it and they take it off the menu. I'm talking to YOU, Wendys!

I wish Burger King and McDonalds would work a little harder at serving the food hot. Fresh frys and a hot burger are so good!

For a limited time about 7 years ago BK had this "Extreme DOuble Whopper." It was HUGE and slathered in this tangy cheese sauce and had a ton of bacon on it. God I miss that thing. I ate 4 one time and I really felt "extreme." Extreme shame. But hey, it was deelish!

Ya I read it wise guy. Bottom line is you can dress up a donkey to look like a princess, but you still have a jack-ass. Burger Barf can spin the menu any way they want. Any health conscious person will avoid fast food franchises like BK under any and all circumstances.
