Because if we took every 'warning' society throws at us seriously, we'd all die of thirst and starvation.

I actually ate MCDonalds last night for the first time in probably a year or more. I know it's bad for me, but I'm a healthy guy, so I can do that from time to time. But most people just do it because they don't know it's bad for them. Alot of the kids in my neighborhood eat fast food for literally every meal of the day. How would they know about the nutrition facts and shit? they don't teach that stuff in city schools, and it's not like their parents know anything about healthy eating. They don't even think about stuff like fat and calories and cholesterol. To them, food is food. To their credit, most of 'em are healthy as an ox, because the metabolism of the kids these days is otherworldly. But lack of education is the answer to most questions in America.

You could make something just as bad at home when you cook. It's not fast food... it's what you get at a fast food place. No matter fast food, a sit down place or at home.. you can eat bad stuff. Also.. I eat it cause I'm really hungry.

Because they are possibly addicted to the kind of fast food- and are not willing to give it up until eventually they're in their graves. Harsh- but true!

i never go by myself. i take the kids about 1/3 of the time that we eat out and i try to order healthy foods. of course, they select unhealthy foods, drop half of them on the floor ... it's not smart to go to those places unless we're really careful about ordering. things sometimes that i thought would be 150 calories were 800 calories!!! DANGER!!! :) great point!!!
