Unfortunetly I actually work at a Burger King, so I do get tempted every now and then. But I make sure I don't bring my money when I go to work. Out of the 3 weeks I've been in the fast food industry, I've only eaten 2 times. The first was just a regular meal and the 2nd was a small chocolate pie.
We eat fastfood cause it tastes so darn good and because its fast and very convenient instead of having to cook our meals which can take from 30 minutes to a couple of hours (unless your making yourself a sandwich lol).. Its also because nowadays we are so busy with school and work we just don't have the time to cook that often. Thats just how junkfood is. Its convenient and it saves time and Its tastes really good, but its bad for you in the long run.. Darn those high carbs, salts and fats!
I advise you that if you get really tempted, the minimum amount you should eat in a month is 1-3 times. You don't want to end up like that "Super Size Me" guy who ate Mcdonalds burgers for breakfast, lunch and dinner for 30 days. Not only did he gain like 30 pounds but he permanently has live problems now.. Poor guy.
The people who make junk food really are smart. They play tricks on our tastebuds, sacrificing nutrition for taste. Now if only vegetables taste as good as they are healthy for you! lol I hope this helps (:

We eat it because it's easy, a lot of people are too busy to cook so they grab something quick to eat. Fast food can be addictive, once you take that first bite of the Mcdonalds doublecheeseburger you are hooked. Also, if you have people constantly telling you that something is bad, you are bound to going to want and try whatever it is.

Because everyone is so busy working all the time sometimes 2 or 3 jobs just to make ends meet. No one has time to cook anymore or the energy to do it.

I don't eat it. I started noticing my stomach would ache or I would get sick after eating it, this was six years ago, so I started researching fast food and when i heard what is in it, i stopped eating it. cold turkey, never went back! it can be done, you have to CHOOSE not to eat that filth to protect your body and stop giving money to people who don't care what kind of chemicals they feed you! and it doesn't taste good, it's always soggy and too salty. i don't know how people can like it......

Because we do what feels good instead of what we know we should & it is fast and easy

It's nice once in a while to get a break from cooking.

We like the taste, it's fast and it's inexpensive.

Because it's convenient, tastes so good, and I am convinced that they put crack in it to keep us coming back. I KNOW Taco Bell puts crack in those chalupas...
