#people #food #home #‎homemade
Because of how (1) busy the modern lifestyle(2) happens to be in the developed ‎world, many families find themselves taking a trip to their favourite fast-
food
 ‎restaurant more often than they would care to admit. According to information (3) ‎from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, about 45% of a family's
food
 budget goes ‎toward eating out somewhere. In 1977, that rate was at just 38%(4). That means(5) ‎the average household is spending upwards of $6,000 per year just to eat outside ‎of the home.‎‏ ‏
Although
 (6) the occasional evening of fast-
food
 products will not adversely ‎impact your health, having a habit where you eat burgers and fries can always be ‎problematic in a brief period. People who eat fast
food
 products regularly often ‎suffer from headaches(7), experience dental distress(7), carry extra weight(7), and ‎have high blood pressure(7) and cholesterol levels(7).‎‏ There are
also
 insulin resistance issues(8), blood sugar spikes(8), and high salt ‎intake (8),that can become problematic when embracing the offerings' fast
food
 ‎industry.
That is
 not to say that every product offered by a restaurant is wrong ‎for you. It just means that the individuals who tend to eat items made by
this
 ‎industry consume about 190 (9)calories more than those who do not.‎‏ There are several advantages and disadvantages of fast
food
 to consider if you ‎need to have(10) a quick meal. These are the key points to consider.‎
