I had no idea how shitty fast food (McDonald's, KFC etc) was making me feel until I recently gave it up. I'm trying to eat healthier (and vegan-er) so the first thing I did was give up my fast food habit. A few things I found interesting about the process:
-
Holy shit is this hard. I don't know if I'm just weak-willed or they put some seriously addictive stuff in there but the cravings are almost unbearable.
-
Other than that I feel amazing after only a month. I have more energy, a better mood, my digestive system is better, I look healthier. All this makes the cravings worth it and those are slowly getting less terrible.
I highly recommend giving up fast food.
Its a pretty weak documentary by 2021 standards, but check out Super Size Me if you haven't. The documentarian goes into detail about the shit they put in fast food and how it turns him into an objectively less healthy person over the course of a month eating it straight.
Didn't the host become a child molester, and co-hosts with Jared Fogle at one point? We watched it in my high-school health class so it's been a while
