Many people select burgers or fried chicken for quick meals, and there are international restaurants offering these cuisines in many countries across the world.
Some may ask if the burger is the healthiest option, which normally consists of a beef sandwich, a piece of cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes in the centre of the bread, or chicken parts cooked in oil.
According to mensjournal.com, chicken pieces are usually fried with trans fats or partially hydrogenated oils, which means they are not created using healthy oils such as olive oil or coconut oil.
The US Food and Drug Administration issued a warning regarding the health concerns caused by trans fat consumption in 2018.
Fried chicken has a high salt content, which increases the risk of developing cholesterol and high blood pressure.
The danger does not end there, because fried chicken is immersed in a liquid mixture composed mostly of white flour, which is devoid of fibre and nutrients.
As a result, health experts believe that eating burgers is less harmful than eating fried chicken, even if the meat is topped with a slice of cheese in the middle of the bread.
Consumers of fast food consume not only chicken pieces or burgers, but also french fries and soft drinks, resulting in a high number of calories entering the body.
