Fast food serves fast and that's why people like to buy it. And there's also other reasons. some people like the taste of fast food, some for economy. why do you buy fast food ? like KFC, MACDONALD ? Eating MacDonald , KFC, PIZZA HUT, SUBWAY is a fashionalbe style which most young people and white collars pursue. Ironically, isn't it? Such western fast food are quite expensive in China but many people like it. After shopping in a shopping mall or shopping center, friends often go to such fast food restaurant instead of going to those tasty Chinese restaurant. ( not including me) It's a trend. Some even drive far and drive late at night to take home KFC, they just like the taste.

here in my place, people eat it because it's fast - most people use that for a reason to eat fastfood. While most fastfoods are not so healthy, there are a few healthy choices out there on the offer. but the super delicious ones are the really unhealthful ones. And they make you crave for more.

If I say never it would be a lie nit believe me I have hardly taken fast food. I never had fascination towards this stuff. While in college as my friends would take up this or that I would ask for a cup of coffee only.

hello tudors i guess that i enjoy eating fast food sometimes, when i am out and about shopping at the mall and get hungry. lol or if i am out running errands and shopping all day, i will grab myself a hamburger or something like that until dinner time rolls around. and i will not drive across town to eat fast food. lol there is no need for me to do that, i have every kind of a fast food restaurant close by to where that i live, that you can think of. Taco Bell, Subway, Arby's, Gyro's, Shoney's, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Pizza Hut, McDonald's, Captain D's, Wendy's, Back Yard Burgers, and plus all of the other restaurants that we have around here in town like the chinese restaurants and the mexican restaurants and we also have home style cooking at different buffet's here. then we also have restaurants like Red Lobster, Ruby Tuesday's, TFI restaurants, The Old Spaghetti Factory and O'Charley's just to name a few of them. take care and have a beautiful evening.

Hi, I take fast food because its one of my favorite food, especially fried chicken from KFC. I think its cheaper and tastier than those in other fast food chains. The recipe of chicken from KFC is just too delicious.

i can say that i`m buying fast food just because i`m in a hurry, or just going out with my friends, and before we drink something, we`ll eat first, no? So, thouse are the basics. I can`t say that i`m buying fast food just for the taste. I cant say that there`s no taste, but not for that. Mostly, i buy it because i`m not at home, or i can`t get home all day long.

We don't have fast food places near us , I would love to have a Burger King close! We can only stop at them when we go into town . Usually when we go to town , we stop at Sams club , and Home Depot and we are hungry and in a rush to get back home . Thats when we decide to get something fast and eat on the way home in the car . We don't care much for McDonalds . but we do like Burger King and Subway .

I guess the main reason why is that it's fast and it's convenient. Usually it would be cheap too! Or most of the time, I don't know what to eat, so I just go to fast food store and grab something.

Any time that we eat fast food is because we are in a hurry. Although we do have one, A&W, that I could eat almost anytime. We live in a rural area, so in order to get to any town that offers fast food, we have to drive over 24 miles to get to. So if we are in town running errands and it's around lunch time, we a lot of times stop and grab something to eat for when we get home.

Hey there! Is that true? It's expensive there in China? It's ordinary here. Well, maybe it's because they are new to the kinds and taste of foods served at western fast foods. You can't blame them for that. They've been eating, almost all their life, Chinese food. I wish it was otherwise here.lol Chinese restaurant here are expensive man. I love Chinese food specially the way they cook lobsters. It's spicy and delicious. Have a nice day. Happy posting!

Just like what you said the fast food like KFC,Macdonald is very expensive in China.I am a Chinese,I also don't why so many people like it.I know such food some people in Western countries concerning for its price except someone do not have enough time to eating.I think may be the best reason is its flavor is so delicous for the most people. But fast food is not good for people's health,but they can not control their desir to have it.

I limit my fast food intake to once a month because it's really unhealthy and you can feel your weight increase after eating 1 meal heh. I eat it only because it tastes good, it has nothing to do with the brand for me. And it's a divergence from the more healthy food i eat. I think it's ok to indulge in it once in a while. So i choose my day wisely for that once a month lol. I think subway is pretty healthy even though it is under the fast food category. And it's tasty too, better than kfc. I seldom to never go to macdonald's because where i live the meals are too expensive and the food is boring. As for pizza i seldom eat it because i don't like pizza too much.

In my opinion,it is the cultural difference that makes sense ,for men who(like me) are tired of eating the same food all the days,it is,absolutely,more a attractive to take something different,however,to myself,i would not eat fast food very often ,after all,it is some kind of junk food.

Well, on fast food chains, people could easily choose and pick what food they want to eat. Well, in Philippines you can find different fast food chains. They are scattered everywhere. Food is one of the basic need of people, with out it you cannot live unless you're a robot. Did you get what i mean? For me, those fast food like KFC, Mcdonalds, Jollibee etc, i like them all, i ate there together with someone and almost get lost all of my allowance eating on a fast food. If I will sum the whole cost, it is cheap, including the facility and customer care. Try eating on a fast food.

Only time we eat fast food is usually at the end of the month when our groceries are low & we don't feel like doing any shopping at that time. Or on late work nights. Yeah the taste is good, but when I cook or when my husband cooks, its even better tasting, so I think another reason we do fast food when we do is probably lazyness... LOL!

Taste. We can't buy it often, 'cause we really can't afford to eat out much. But when we do have it, it's because we like the taste. Sometimes in the summer I'll be able to spare a dollar for dollar menu fries from Mickey D's.

I choose fast food when I really have no other choice for food or need to rush for time. I say that because fast food is more expensive than food we have in food eateries, and also more unhealthy due to the large amount of fat and salt. I would choose Chinese restaurants if I have a choice.

In fact I like the food in fast food restaurants:) Besides, it spends less time eating fast food. And if I am alone, I prefer to have a meal in the fast food restaurants rather than a restaurants. As I don't know what to order because I am just one person. I love China
