Why is fast food so big when everyone says that they really don't eat it much?

I think that because the health authorities says that it is wrong to eat all those junk persons always feel guilty. So he/she does not want to acknowledge the wrong of it and so will continue to deceived themselves. Fast food are all big industry and they are really getting the support. I remember when McDonald pull out of Jamaica. They said that they were losing money because Jamaicans loves KFC. Wendy only has two location here. So you see they are really doing business. Instead of lying we all need to be ourselves remember we don't own anyone any obligation.

..well, i think fast food nowadays is not really only used for "emergencies" like when you are in hurry.. Fastfoods now are part of luxury.. Children usually chose fast foods to eat their favorite meal.. and we can't blame them because fastfoods serve tasty meals.. However, if we consider our health, it would really be nice to look for restaurants or just cook at home.. Atleast, we are sure that the nutrients present on the food we eat are there.. I don't think we have to justify fast foods to strangers because I think all countries now have fastfoods and those people from provinces would also logve to eat in fastfoods because they are famous..

i have a friend who has fast food every time i see her, n of course she denies it! i see her often especially during football season. I really don't eat it often, maybe twice a month because i can't afford to eat it all the time. i buy groceries once a week for all week breakfast, lunch and dinner. i know my friend denies it b/c i tease her, like dang don't u cook, saying things like that.

I sometimes go to McD's for a breakfast sandwich on the way into work. My hubby and I do Taco Bell Once in a while if we are running late after work and do not want to cook.
But think of how many people live in this country. If everyone did fast food just twice a week..that is still a big money maker for the companies.

I eat fast food once a week. On a Friday I do not cook so I give my family a choice of a fast food restaurant and they usually pick Burger King. I am not so keen so I usually get a Chinese but this is also fast food I suppose but as long as it is not everyday I do not see a problem with it.

If we knew what was in the fresh and local food we buy we would worry about that also as everything these days is all wrong and not what it should be,

I'm someone who eats fast food often. We eat it maybe once a week most times. Not just because we're in a hurry, but because we like it. And we're a large family, so we'll drop anywhere between $20 and $40 on a fast food dinner. Sure it's a lot more expensive than a store bought dinner, but it's easier, and usually tastes pretty good.
I don't feel guilty about it, and I'm not afraid to admit that I eat it. But I'm not a health food junky anyways.

I actually know a lot of people who eat fast food a lot. My in laws eat fast food 3 times a day, they don't have a stove.

My kids are in a lot of activities, and all the other kids parents will buy fast food on those nights because they won't have time to cook.

People at work usually grab fast food at lunch time, or sometimes the boss will buy for the whole store.

I think people aren't really telling the truth when saying they don't eat it much,and even if that were the truth and everyone,let's say eat it once in a week,with the number of people we have around,that is already some big number you know? or what do you think? As for me,I classify fast food under snacks,so I eat it whenever I want most especially when I am quite busy to get some normal food and don't feel any guilt eating it.

I eat Taco Bel Whenever I can. I am not afraid to admit it. I always feel kind of icky after burger king or McDonalds, but there are times when you have to eat those too. When traveling I eat almost exclusively fast food because I don't have time or cash to eat at the sitdown places. If you are smart about it, you can actually get a good meal at many of these places, but for some reason a Big Mac is just more apealing.

i like eating in fast food and i am not ashamed to say it:) haha! i especially LOVE MOS burger's Rice burgers. Long John Silvers is cool too and of course Mc Donald's fish fillet sandwich with fries:) But even if i love fast food i really try to limit my visits especially after seeing the Supersize documentary. I also lessened my visits because i think it is cheaper to get groceries rather than buy a whole meal in a fast food joint. Say i will spend about 8SGD (8.5 usd) on a meal but if i go to the grocery i can buy a few veggies, chicken and some other stuff for the same price.

I eat any place that I can find something at least filling, I am not going to say Fast Food and good food in the same sentence.. When we are on the road and will not be home for awhile, we do eat at Burger King or McDonalds.. The food isn't that good but it is filling.. I admit it, I am not proud but I do admit it.. According to the news, since McDonalds came up with the dollar menu and the economy is so bad, their business is booming..
