Solution

Fast food is generally very rich in calories and high unsaturated fats. These fats are harder to break down and absorbed by the body and intake of a large number of calories result in the storage of them. The number of calories which are being taken does not match off to the calories that are burned. Such fast foods are rich in artificial sugars and high sodium content which leads to water retention. All this leads to high body weight which is obesity.
