No More Playing with Food

Not every night can a parent prepare a meal for their children. To a busy family, fast food can seem like an easy way out. As mentioned by Paul Tranter, “as more and more households are working longer hours (particularly due to the increase in the number of dual-earner families), the amount of free time, time that can be devoted to healthy activities, is reducing. This results in… higher consumption of ‘fast’ energy dense food.”

Instead of spending an extra hour or more over a hot stove, a belly can be filled by spending five minutes – if that – in line for hot, ready-made food.
