(1)Fast food is the name given to food that can be prepared and served quickly, often served at basic restaurants or in packaged form for convenient takeaway. It is typically inexpensive to buy but unhealthy to eat. The fast-food industry is a multibillion-dollar industry. In the year 2020, the fast-food industry was worth 570 billion dollars daily. The industry is expected to have an annual growth of 2.5% for the next several years. (2)Popular forms of fast food include burgers, fries, pizza, fish and chips, kebabs, and fried chicken. Well-known fast-food franchises and restaurants include McDonalds, Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC), Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, and Burger King. As well as at restaurants, fast food is usually sold at grocery stores and gas stations. Examples of this include hotdogs, meat pies, and doughnuts. (3)While hamburgers, fries and pizza are seen as traditional fast foods, countries throughout the world sell all types of fast food that may not be so well known. Some examples of these include kebabs, Chinese takeaways (fried noodles, rice and meat dishes), sushi and bento type foods in Japan and fish and chips in the UK, New Zealand and Australia. (4) Because now we understand that a healthy diet is important for good health, more efforts have been made to improve fast food menus by lowering fat levels or at least offering healthier choices. While these health issues are creating more attention, fast food is still linked to weight gain problems, diabetes, and increased healthcare costs.
