Fast food is bad for you in the sense that it is lots of fat and protein, which means you, will get fat fast and slow from all the excess protein makes you slow. But fruit and veggies are a good source of calories that aren't necessarily stored as fat, plus they add sugar for energy and vitamins for good health. Most of the marathon runners go on a fruit and veggie diet for that specific reason. Although fast food is convenient it adds to the growing level of obesity in America. The biggest reason for the emphasis on less fries and for carrots is that people have learned that only fittest people will survive. For example obesity can be linked to many heart diseases and even certain cancers have been linked to obesity. Also if you want to be quick, strong, and healthy then you need to keep up on the exercise and cut down on the junk food. The reason that exercise is so fatal to you health is that your body will store any wasted calories for later, aka fat. Fact of the matter is that what you put in to your body is what you get out of it, and if you take care of your body it will take care of you.
