  1. fast food is bad because most of it is fried.

    it also lacks nutrition: no veggies, fruit, and whole grains.

  2. Oh and another reason why fast food is bad: it’s hard on the wallet.
    You can buy a large Lindt dark chocolate bar for less, and it will take at least a couple of days to consume the entire bar. :)

  3. Nice video… You have a good point as you try to mention to darkside of regular chocolate… Thanks for all the informations.

  4. White Chocolate is the best chocolate!!

  5. No, dark chocolate is z best!

  6. white chocolate isnt chocolate.

  7. After “discovering” dark chocolate years ago, I’ve never gone back to milk chocolate. My favourite is 70% cocoa dark chocolate. I find the 70-75% is best in terms of both health benefits and taste. There are no disadvantages to consuming 30 grams or so per day!

  8. MILK CHOCOLATE ALL THE WAY

  9. I’ll never eat chocolate again.

  10. dairy milk chocolate causes gland cancer ie mammary porostrate thyroid etc etc and dead baby male cows for veal.You dont mention this natalie why not????

  11. @shantibloo dead baby cows all the way ho ho ho

  12. it does NOT contain caffeine (and yes there have been studies done to try to prove caffeine is in fact in cacao) it dose contain theobromine however i havent read anything about that being adictive but sence it acts almost the same as caffeine and is structurly simular i suppose its possible *resumes vid* your definition of drugs is off their chemicals not drugs to be considered a drug it would have to be classified by federal law as a controlled drug substance

  13. also and im sorry for posting 2 comments you left out one chemical called anandamide which is naturally produced in our bodies and binds to the receptors CB1 and CB2 it has the same effect as THC (one of the main active chemicals in cannabis especialy cannabis sativa) it helps to control and maintain eating habbits, immune system functions, pain and several other things such as lowering risk of neurotoxicity

  14. Fast food is bad for us because of the amount of calories and fat in one serving of food is very high. The portion sizes are incorrect. It also is depleted of much nutritional value, if any at all. Also Generally it is not high in fiber or protein which will not keep you full for very long, and you will be hunger soon after the meal. Plus it leaves a very high carbon foot print on the Earth because of the paper products and livestock.

  15. My recommendation; just have a little cocoa powder in your coffee. That’s where the antioxidants come from. Cocoa powder is cheaper and you can skip eating the saturated fat and sugar that comes with regular chocolate.

  16. Fast food is bad because it is designed to be fulfilling by adding fa,t sugar and salt..

  17. Fast food is bad beacuse its fried and it isnt really good quality ontains way more calories and soduim and fat than we should have in one day

  18. it greasy, fatty, big portions, not enough nutrition, 2 much salt, lot of sugar

  19. Chocolate makes my cloths shrink ;(

  20. Fast food is bad because most of the time it is proccessed heavily leaving very few nutrients, but providing an excess of calories that cannot be used up quickly enough.

  21. Fast food is bad:
    They use uber low grade meats. The meats they use are high in fats & are basicallly the trash meats that are supposed to be used in dog food. They send the shit that they don’t use over to special seperation companies that expose them to harmful chemicals & gases that make them poisonus. So a) they are very high in fat b) they are hella processed & of course, this meat probably doen not take very good so they havta add neorotoxic chemicals & free glutamates like MSG ……(cont

  22. …Fast food is bad(cont) to make the meats eatable.
    Second of course is that all their shit is maximumly processed, & they use the cheapest, most refined shit. They buy the most mass produced, probably the most genetically modified, & worst quality products & make them taste awesome buy adding Drugs & Chemicals & salt & sugar & fats to it.
    & ovb they also use lots & lots of preservatives & oils in their foods.
    The food is so bad, i wouldnt consider it food. It’s more like plastic. So yeah.ha

  23. How can i find dark chocolate not processe with alkali???
    Thank you for your wisdom!!!!!

  24. Chocolate is my weakness. & i am, definitely addicted to chocolate. Physically addicted.

  25. It’s unfortunate that my favorite kind of chocolate is white chocolate… -_-
    Oh well. I’ve been able to largely avoid chocolate for almost a year now because of having large amounts of dental work done, which made me sensitive to sweets and made me more aware of what foods were sweet.
