It's amazing that once you stop eating fast food for a while you really grow out of wanting it. Fast food burgers are nasty to me now (though fries do smell good). It has a guise of being ok for you but it really isn't. I read Fast Food Nation and it really opened my eyes as to what the food actually was. <em>FFB's last blog post..<a href='http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/FreeFromBroke/~3/lVnxW_IkXhQ/never-mind-a-new-economic-stimulus-package-save-yourself.html' rel="nofollow">Never Mind A New Economic Stimulus Package - Save Yourself!</a></em> I too grew up on fast food but I’ve curbed eating it to almost nothing nowadays.

Thats the reason why people mainly youngsters prefer to fast food items. They never think about the harm caused by these items. What they think is the taste and they will loose control. An ordinary meals will give you 50% more energy than fast foods. Most of these items are fried, which can cause severe health problems. Those who thinks about the taste of these fast food items will have to taste several tablets also in their future. The fast food items taste much better than what we have in home.

Their marketing gurus know what people are going to the fast food joint for - something quick and something easy. Additionally, people don’t think about this tactic. People are thinking about getting their food FAST. Consumers are programmed into thinking that bigger size means bigger value. Larger portions are presented as a bargain for consumers because they’re relatively cheap for restaurants to offer. Food costs less than other operating costs such as rent, staff, and equipment.
