Fast Food!

Americans love golden brown fries, hot, juicy burgers, and a refreshing beverage to wash it all down. Fortunately, America leads the list in the country with the most McDonalds – a company that specializes in just that (“New Happy Meal”).

As said by Suton, “the US food production system yields a large volume of food that is relatively low in cost for consumers but is often high in calories and low in nutritional value.”

Fast food companies make their money from busy consumers grabbing something quick to eat and lazy consumers who do not cook for themselves.

“Like upper income households, who spend almost half of their food budget on food away from home, many low- income households turn to restaurant meals in part to help save time,” (Carlson).

Living in America, it is hard to ignore the temptation of ready-made food offered for only a couple bucks.

However, there is a rising trend of a healthier living style, and most people do not see fast food as healthy.
