Many experts have become fascinated by the fast food industry and have conducted experiments and tests to find out what damage can be done to our health by eating these foods. The daily customer is unaware of how dangerous the ingredients that are inserted into these foods are, or how high the risk of receiving a food borne illness is when consuming foods at these restaurants.
