Hw#3 -Fast Food

Fast food stays true to its name its food that you can order and be eating in minutes. There are so many different franchise fast food places to choose from the possibilities are endless from McDonald’s to Burger King there are so many fast food restaurants located around the city. Why is this? Why is fast food so popular? What makes eating at these places so irresistible? And why aren’t people exposed to much healthier food options? Whether you’re eating your meal at one of these fast food spots or taking it to go (drive thru) you always end up coming back for more.

Fast food restaurants are convenient for many. They are easy to access, with so many different locations. They feed the masses. They also provide people with a filling meal that they can enjoy in minutes without having to cook it for themselves. Fast food is easy while eating healthier is hard. It’s so much easier for many to enjoy a burger, fries and a milkshake that has already been made than it is to cook a homemade meal.

One of the things I noticed was that there were a lot of younger customers at McDonalds than there were at the Greenmarket where there were a lot of older people. I think that older people tend to be more health conscious than the younger people. They care more about what they eat and how it’s going to affect them in the long run. I think the Greenmarket attracts more of the health conscious that are willing to shell out more money in order to be “healthy”.
