I’ve seen the phrase “takes longer to digest” used in a negative context when it comes to foods (i.e. fatty foods). Why isn’t that a good thing? I thought what was wrong with fast food was that it digests too quickly and you’re hungry again later. Is there something here I’m not getting, did I misunderstand what was being said, or is this another myth to muddy the waters of weight loss information?
TL;DR: Is it unhealthy or beneficial for foods to take longer to digest?

No, it’s all about a balanced diet. Fatty foods and proteins take longer than fibrous and vegetative foods. For healthy colons you want a good variety. Also, candies and other sugary treats are the fastest to digest.
