Fast food a type of mass produced food that is prepared and
served very quickly. It began with the first fish and chip shops in Britain in the
1860. Drive-through restaurants were first popularized in the 1950s in the United States. Easily prepared processed food served in snack bars
and restaurants as a quick meal or to be taken away. Has grown dramatically
during the last few years. According to research people in the U. spend more
money on fast food than in higher education. The people that eat fast food
range over all ages, from young children to retired senior people. However
senior people do not eat fast food very often. The group that consumes fast
food the most is teenagers. Some of the reasons that young people eat more fast
food than old people are young people have more money to eat and more ability
to go out to eat than old people do and young people are also busier than old
people. Fast food became an easy option for a busy family as is
the case for many families today. Most of the young people
have more money to buy fast food than the old people do. Young people the money that their parents
provide is just enough for lunch. Mostly
high school students want to work so they can have money to spend on clothes
and hang out with friends. Since young people do not have to pay for their
house or other bills they keep all their money from work. Young people are more
careless with their money than old people are young people do not want to stay
at home for lunch or dinner if they feel hungry. Because of that they eat fast
food more often while hanging out with their friends. They will stop by the
closest McDonalds or other fast food restaurants to eat as well as socialize. Old
people do not have that option. They cannot work because nobody wants to hire
them. Employers do not want to hire anyone that cannot work fast and do hard
work. Because that the only money that old people receive is from the government.
Unlike young people old people have to pay for their rent, medication, and
other things. The amount of money from the government is not very much. The concept of ready cooked food for sale is closely connected with urban
development. Fast food became an easy option for a busy family as is the case
for many families. Some
fast foods are cooked in lots of fat and if someone eats too much fat they
normally get fat or ill. There are many reasons for the popularity of fast
food. One of the main reasons is the change in lifestyle.
People are working
long hours and shifts so they don't have time to find ingredients or prepare
healthy food so they end up eating junk food because it is easy to prepare and
ready to consume within no time. People junk food is an easy and cost effective
solution. Also it has a great taste that is achieved owing to lavish usage of
oils salts and sugar. The major and the biggest drawback of fast food is that
it is unhealthy and cause serious health problems. It contains large
amounts of fat and as fat accumulates in your body you'll gain weight and could
become obese. The more weight you gain the more you'll be at risk for serious
chronic illnesses such as diabetes heart disease and arthritis. Children eat
too much and much of what they eat is unhealthy. Most people know that fast
food is not good for you but many don’t realize how dangerous it really is. Fast
food often gets a bad rep for being high in fat calories and sodium. Some of
the obvious appeal of eating fast food includes convenience and cost, but many
fast food chains are also altering their menus to appeal to a more health conscious
consumer. Fast food often seems like a quick solution for families with small
children and working parents but trying to instill healthy eating habits in
young lives can be a challenge at fast food chains. You can also opt for apple
slices instead of high fat French fries in many cases.
