THE DARK SIDE OF THE FAST-FOOD INDUSTRY

Fast food meals seem cheap and convenient, but they come at a higher price than you might think. Find out about the dark side of the fast-food industry.

The fast-food industry’s secrets can keep you wanting more but are detrimental to your health, says Dr Eric Berg, a respected social media health educator and author of the best-selling book “The Healthy Keto Plan”.

In an online video that has been viewed over 700,000 times, he revealed the following:

“The average American consumes between 2 and 3 fast food meals per week, which adds up to 150 to 200 meals per year. Even if you order value meals or make choices from the dollar menu, most people spend around $1,500 to $2,000 per year on fast food.

“The fast-food industry uses all sorts of marketing tactics to keep you wanting more. Mcdonald’s uses yellow and red, which stimulate impulsivity, increase serotonin, and even encourage you to eat faster.

“The fast-food industry also targets children, hence the playgrounds and happy meals at fast-food restaurants. They use upselling techniques by offering fries or a combo, which can increase profits by more than 22%. Prices containing the number 9 can increase the likelihood of making a purchase!

“McDonald’s is one of the largest beef buyers in the US. They use low-quality factory-farmed beef fattened with grains and treated with antibiotics.

“Fast food meals also contain poor-quality ingredients like high fructose corn syrup, corn oil, soy oil, corn flour, corn starch, and fillers like maltodextrin. These ingredients are highly processed and highly inflammatory. Although fast food may seem cheaper and more convenient in the short term, it can cause massive health consequences in the long term.”
