It is Friday evening and Mom is not in the mood to cook. You all go to the drive through and order some burgers from KFC or McDonalds. With some milkshakes to top it off.
Quick and easy, but not very healthy.
Now and then it is nice to eat takeaways and it is fine, but it is not something you can do every day. Lets learn more about this billion dollar industry.

Fast food (or junk 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/takeout. It is typically inexpensive to buy but unhealthy to eat.
There are many types of fast foods, but the most popular ones are hamburgers, donuts and pizza, but there are also other takeaways like kebabs, chinese food and fish and chips. What is your favorite takeaways?
Fast food is exactly what it says, it is made fast, so this means that the food is processed at the restaurant before the time or at another place and then brought to the restaurant, so that it can just be cooked or re-heated in a short time that people do not have to wait long. The restaurant layout is also build in such a way that everything can happen fast.

In America alone, more than a 100 billion dollars are spent on fast food. There is also a high rate of obesity in countries where people eat a lot of fast food.
McDonald’s is arguably the worlds most well known fast food chain. There are McDonald’s restaurants found in over 100 countries around the world and they serve over 40 million customers every day.
People are much more aware of being healthy and to fit in with this, many fast food places are looking at their menus to put healthier options on it with less fat and sugar. Even thought they are trying this, too much fast food can still lead to obesity and things like diabetes.
Enjoying takeaways once a week or so is fine, but like everything, do not overdo it.
