why bother with fast food?

Question

what makes fast food so nice why did they bother making mcdonalds and studd like that?

Answer 1

LAZINESS come to mind?

Answer 2

Convenience. It's "fast" food. It's faster to get the food than if you were to say, sit down in a restaurant and order the food, then wait for the cooks to prepare it.

I personally don't care for fast food simply because it's unhealthy. I'm 34 years old, and I am trying to stay young & healthy!

I know that people also like the way some of it tastes. I think that some fast food chains make their food with an addictive taste to it. Then again, a lot of people are merely addicted to the hand-to-mouth habit more than anything. (Not meaning to be offensive - it's just a fact.)

Answer 3

I don't think fast food is nice at all. It's a shame that parents will feed that stuff to their kids instead of cook a decent meal at home. It doesn't take a lot of time or work to cook a nutritious meal if you think about it. When I used to go through the drive thru (in the past) I would get disgusted when I would be behind someone placing a huge order because I just knew they were taking it home to feed their families. Ugh!

Answer 4

Because we, Americans, shove 48 hours worth of work, play, personal time, sleep and parenting into a mere 24 hours. We're on the go, multitasking. We don't want to stop and eat leisurely, we want to drive (which would normally be wasted time) and eat at the same time. That way we get to where we're going in good time, and on a full tummy.

There are others of us who are too lazy or too tired to prepare food for ourselves and our family, especially when you can visit a Tacobell, KFC and Pizza Inn all in one little shop. Everybody's favorite food can be bought at one stop, and there are no dishes to clean up.

Convenience. That's what fast food is all about.

Answer 5

Though I try and avoid it, I've got to admit it really does taste so good!! I eat a healthy but sometimes find myself having cravings for a Big Mac meal. I know that we should try and avoid these sort of foods but it can be hard with all the additives they put in them. I always feel ill after eating them and get a weird "bloated" sensation.

Good question,
Thank you.

Answer 6

Because sometimes it's SO nice not to have to cook a full meal and wash it up. Also, my daughter loves a Happy Meal as an occasional treat. And although it's terrible nutritional value, there's just something about a quarter pounder with cheese!

Answer 7

sometimes ur just TOO hungry to wait to cook the food, or there is no time!

i dont eat mcdonalds tho.
i like to go to chipotle, or have Charleys (philly cheese steak, its not all that greasy) anything other than mcdonalds. The only fast food burger i dont feel too guilty in eating is In-N-Out! yummy!!

Answer 8

Because it's "fast food". No need for you to cook it.

I stay away from all that crap. I don't know what they put in McDonald's and Wendy's food, but it makes me feel like... "poop" the next few days.

None of it's good for you.

Answer 9

I am a single person and sometimes I just want a hamburger without having to purchase a pound of meat and getting the kitchen all messed-up. So, I just go to McDonald's drive-thru and for a dollar I can get a Double Cheeseburger. It's all about convenience for me.

Answer 10

because when you are on a budget and don't feel like cooking (when people who can afford it go to restaurants!) I take the kids to Mc Donalds, cost me less than £10, I don't have to cook, I don't have to wash up and its a treat for the kids!
We only go 4/6 times a year, but that makes it more enjoyable for the kids!
I would be happier in a restaurant but my budget does not allow that!

Answer 11

A lot of people like the convenience of not having to cook a big meal if the are running late or have something unscheduled come up.
