My Opinion Story

     

Fast Food Restaurants

 Have you ever gone to a restaurant and just been in love with the food? Well I sure have. Fast-food restaurants are not good for you, but they provide delicious food that you don’t have to cook, and you get it immediately. Back about 12,000 BC was when we first started growing crops as a main source of food. Imagine that, having to grow something and wait for it to sprout and then harvest it just so you can eat mediocre food. Nowadays you just go drive somewhere close and get really good food that could be good for you, or bad depending on hat you order. But you don’t always have to get fast food, you can also have a nice relaxing time at a sit down restaurant. You can go with family, friends, or on a date. I personally enjoy going out to eat with my family, it’s really fun. Places like McDonald’s, Wendy’s and Chick-fil-A, are some of the most popular fast food places. I love Chick-fil-A, their chicken is the best out of the other fast-food places. Unlike McDonalds, Chick-fil-A sadly only has places in the U.S. they are not worldwide. I’m sure many people would say fast-food restaurants are terrible and just make people fat. And they are not wrong, fast food places have increased the obesity level 33.8 percent since they first were established. Although this is true, everyone has those nights where they are too tired to cook. People in these situations go and get food, but since they might be a healthy person they go to a salad bar, but that is still a fast-food place. Fast-food places are not always greasy burgers, it can also be salad bars, fish places, tacos, and any other restaurant that serves food to you very quickly (you don’t sit down). People do not actually notice how helpful fast food places are, they give you what you want for a very cheap price. You could get a burger for $0.99 at McDonalds dollar menu. That is a big factor when it comes to these places being popular. Not many people have time to cook, or may not know how to cook. So they go and get tacos, a salad, or anything else they feel like eating. This makes a huge impact on how popular these restaurants are. Not to mention road trips, what would people eat if there were no fast food places to stop at, they would have to stop and cook somewhere...? I am very thankful for having fast food restaurants, it gives me the option to eat healthy or not, it is easy, fast, and very convenient.
