why are fast food resturants so popular?

Question

they make you fat so why would people want to eat there

Answer 1

Beacuse the food is served quickly, its cheap, mass produced and to most, it tastes good and gives a quick fix.

Answer 2

They're so popular because Americans have become stressed and lazy. Today's world has become so hetic that people hardly ever have any spare time any more. Fast food is served quickly. People can sit in their car as they have someone else cook and bring their food to them. It saves them time because they can just stop in on their way to work or school or home.

Also, people have become extremely lazy. They're relunctant to cook their own food because they know that there's a cheap fast food joint within fifteen minutes of where ever they are.

It's also cheap. With dollar menus everywhere, people can avoid the chore of eating healthy and buy fat on a bun, death sticks, and a small liquid sugar for just three dollars.

It's a very appealing life style. It saves you time, energy, and money. Who wouldn't want to live it? After all, you get a wonderful pair of flabby thighs and arms.

Answer 3

Fast food is quick, easy, cheap, convenient, and often quite tasty. It's great when you're in a hurry to get somewhere and don't have time to cook, or when you've had a long hard day and you're too tired to cook. No, it's not good to eat it -- or any other foods that are high in fat, calories, cholesterol, etc. -- all the time, but some of the time it's okay. "Everything in moderation."

Answer 4

I agree..fastfood is disgusting (I wont mention any particular chains either!) Todays society is faster,people are spoilt and expect more.The virtue of patience is becoming extinct!We have more money and more importantly more disposable money, we dont need to be as economical as our grandparents, we can afford convenience foods.We want faster cars,faster public transport,more checkouts,less queues!Everyone wants a fast-track and in many ways this is great but not when it comes to health and nutrition. So a lot of people from school-goers to college students, workers,house-wives and house-husbands feel if they have the cash why bother preparing sandwiches the night before and wrapping them..all that perceived inconvenience, when they can just get in get out with a hot fast cheap meal that tastes ok, but has little nutritional value.
People may have died younger in the old days because we hadn't modern drugs BUT people WERE healthier.
Abalanced diet is more important than fast food..heart attacks AREN'T convenient.

Answer 6

Well you don't eat there everyday and they are very convenient and some of the food choices are balanced and good for you if you choose wisely, of course if your piggy then you just buy the big piggy things. Personally I find them very helpful.

Answer 7

They don't MAKE anyone fat.
WE make us fat.

There are healthier choices at every fast food place, with you choosing to eat those items or not.

The whole point and reason for fast food is because it is just that, fast.
