Quiz - Which Fast Food Item is Worse?

Monday September 22, 2008
French FriesFast foods are cheap and ready to eat almost as soon as you finish placing your order. Unfortunately, fast foods are also high in fat, calories, sugar and sodium, but low in all of the good nutrients your body really needs.

Interestingly, the fast food restaurants have very cool websites with interactive sections where you can build your favorite fast food meal and find out just how fattening and unhealthy it is. I guess the availability of that knowledge doesn't reduce the popularity of fast foods.

Of course, you can also use those websites to hunt for healthier selections at fast food restaurants. I used some of that information to create an interesting and informative quiz for you, Which Fast Food Item is Worse?

I have done much research on this topic and agree with the author, however I have a major concern. My concern is over contaminants in fish oil products. There is no way for the consumer to know that there are no harmful chemicals in fish oil suppliments purchased anywhere. Therefore, I believe organic flax seed oil or hemp oil to be the best sources of omega-3’s. I would rather be safe than sorry. This is my opinion.
