Everyone loves a super value deal. But is it really a bargain when you end up buying unwanted fat, fat, calories, and sodium along with the bigger portion? A decade ago, an original burger, fries, and coke at McDonald’s contained 660 calories. Now a super-size value meal contains an incredible 1,450 calories, or more than half of what most people need in a day. 
Now, one more concern regarding fast-foods apart from their calorie counts is, an outbreak of food poisoning which is very often traced to a fast-food outlet. In fact, any meal that is mass-produced and then allowed to stand for any length of time is vulnerable to contamination. Especially deadly, particularly to young children, is a type of E.coli infection contracted by eating undercooked contaminated beef.
So, they might be looking tempting, but
it would be better to resist than to risk consuming those bunch of calories in one go, thinking you might have done a good bargain. :!: It is indeed a bargain, when you and your friends share it with you; only then you can get a real value for your bargain, both in terms of “occasional” (if applied) fast food hunting as well as partying.

It is not wise to take out fast-food and then wait several hours before eating it. Any food that is not consumed right away should be refrigerated, and then thoroughly reheated before it is eaten. If you are eating in a restaurant, decline any precooked item that looks like it has been sitting around for a while. :!:
