ex-McDonald’s boss Harald Sükar from Austria warns: stay away from fast food. Sükar accounts for the industry in his book.
Sükar’s book “Fast Food Trap” deals with the harmful eating of fast food chains and his newly discovered passion for healthy eating. Sükar himself was a good customer of his own chain for years, he told the Austrian “Kurier”. When he was around Weighing in at 110 kilograms, he began studying healthy eating, reading various studies and finding that 10 diseases are caused by unhealthy eating, including diabetes, arthritis and four different types of cancer.
Fast food damages the arteries
He learned that fast food can damage the arteries, leading to heart attacks and strokes. Sweeteners, trans fats and e-additives would act like drugs in the brain, according to Sükar.
The fast food companies do perfect marketing, Sükar told the Austrian newspaper. However, the Austrian lawyer believes that one can keep an eye on the calories. Even more: You can become addicted to sugar.
The environment suffers from the fast food chains
According to stern.de, the environment must also suffer from fast food chains, according to stern.de: antibiotic use in chickens, cheap meat and mountainous plastic waste – not a good result.
The group defends itself: Sükar has not worked for McDonald’s since 2006, and a lot has happened in the company since then. “The picture drawn by McDonald’s Austria in this book does not reflect real life and does not reflect the continuous developments of the past decade.”
McDonald’s now also sells wraps and salads, and even a vegan burger is now available. In addition, by 2025 packaging will only be made from recycled materials. (sr)
