The Trouble With Fries

Fast food slowly become a major food in our daily menu. Fast food has a great impact in our life, the whole society has discuss about whether fast food is good for us or not. People are discuss about the ingredients in the fast food, this leads to a huge influence on the political problem. The FDA takes this too seriously, "The FDA has required all Olestra products to carry a somewhat daunting label saying that they may cause "cramping and loose stools"". But actually, Olestra helps people to lose weight and lower cholesterol. This has questioning me that, is fast food really killing people? The scientists at Auburn University makes a new product in science, AU Lean. Au Lean reduces the fat in ground beef, make burger be healthier. However, McDonald/Fast food  makes a great revolution in our food history.

  1. I agree with you how the FDA takes too much precaution with Olestra. Fiber, like Olestra, is never absorbed by the gastrointestinal track yet we find fiber in many things common foods. It is also commonly known that too much of fiber can cause cramping, gas, diarrhea, etc yet there are no warning labels. I don't understand why the FDA took these extra precautionary steps and it puzzles me, but hopefully with our advanced knowledge science is already taking steps for a new age of fast food.
