​What are some health risks that fast food meals have on the body?

Example Answer 1

Although I believe researchers say that in moderation and with plenty of exercise, fast food has a minimal impact on one’s health. But if eaten often, it can have a damaging effect on the body because of the high calorie intake and Trans-fat, that's the stuff that hurts the body.”

​Should more be done by governments to curb the consumption of fast food?

Example Answer 1

“Well, not exactly. It is true that the government has an obligation to protect its citizens, but I believe that people need and should be able to make these kinds of decisions on their own. The government can, however, enact other measures designed to promote a healthy lifestyle say for example, organic foods. I think these types of policies would be more beneficial than restrictions placed on people.”
