But you're not f--- with your body unless you do a ridiculous amount, and that's true of any vice. Eat enough double bacon cheeseburgers and you'll end up with high cholesterol and increased chances of heart attack (among other problems), but I doubt one here and there would kill you. And that, like drugs and alcohol, have a reason - they feel good. It's up to that person to control how much they consume and sometimes choices are made for the worse. But you wouldn't go up to that person eating a cheeseburger along with fries and that giant milkshake with the line "You're f--- with your body for no reason."
That logic is interesting yet flawed. Cheeseburgers and milkshakes have nutritional value, just very very very very low relative to other items. You still get calories from fast food. Having three steakhouse burgers in one sitting by itself is not going to cause you to crash into my car.
