Fast Food Is Young Life



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.
