Body Myths

Eating fast food and pop everyday for three years?

How bad is is fast food for you really? I know someone (and I am worried about their health) who works and has worked at Burger King (gets free food) for three years and eats it EVERYDAY with a coke. She usually gets the 9 piece chicken fries and eats that. I am not kidding. Like literally everyday. It is on her way to college and..she works there so basically everyday. When she does not eat BK, she eats at Mcdonalds or Wendys...same thing. Damn, she has been eating it literally for 3 or 4 years everyday. And she is still so slim (Jealous) but what are the long term effects of eating fast food like this? I want to show her but I am not into nutrition and things like that. I tried to look at the nutrition info of BK and have not found a way to explain what it means. Any help here? Thank you so much in advanced.

1. she stays so slim because its portion size that counts. she wont be able to live off takeaway for the rest of her life and stay slim! too much sodium can cause rectum cancer long term effects -diabetes -heart failure -liver failure -obesity -malnutrition -unhealthy skin just about everything she is eating is high in fat or sugar. .. or both. i dont know how you could eat that food.... it has got to be so unsatisfying!
