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.

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.

Hi tudors...I have to admit to being a fast food purchaser although I am now trying to stay away from it as much as possible and opting for much healthier choices.
I sometimes do buy it when I dont feel like cooking supper or are pressed for time.
But I think the main reason most people do is because it tastes good...Unfortunately the worse it is for you, likely the better it tastes!! Nothing tastes better than a good old overload of grease and sugar!w00t
Its afterwards that it isnt so good.
I am happy to say that I have now gone from buying greasy take out to better takeout choices and now going to the supermarket when im in a hurry and buying pre cooked chicken and salad.
However, now that you mention it, It has been a long time since I have had KFC.... shocked

Message to self.."do not buy KFC tonight. It is a heart attack in a bucket!"

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.

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.

Fast food is really tasty and fast, but it is really not good for health. When I take my child to Mc Donalds I would take a salad since I don't want to eat too much fast food. My child loves Mc donalds and sometimes I take her but not that often since I don't want her to eat too much fast food..

I take fast food about once a week, just because it is fast and when other restaurant is full of people. I don't enjoy the taste of fast food very much.

The power of attraction these popular fastfood restaurants is the taste. Most of them have similar taste time to time. And its too delicious for snack time or even your regular meal time. They also have popular brand that people feel something prestigious when they buy the product. Can you feel it? The price of the brand? Having KFC or MCDO in your table compare to homemade fried chicken? They are the same, fried chicken... chicken in the flour and being fry and no more... But this people run into this high price restaurant for the brand and the solid taste... taste that cant be buy in other restaurant for the same menu "fried chicken".
Of course the fried chicken is expensive because you pay for the brand taste... hehehe... The taste is also familiar and wherever you pass the restaurant, you can smell the aroma of the chicken, its too strong. So even you dont have any intention to buy, you can feel that your tongue can feel it and it push your own appetite to enter the restaurant. You just want them and your bucks will go for the chicken. Not only that, the advertisements are also work! The ice cream and coke float and burger... hmm... its so tastey just by watch them being eaten by other people, and now you're hungry for something that is expensive. You can have your own burger-- homemade burger, but the taste of KFC and MCDO burger is different! Hehe... While im typing this, i do also have imagination in my mind that i can eat french fries...

yes, indeed junk food tastes really good, its easy to get & its hip to eat in such restaurants etc.

However, it has its own disadvantages, i used to eat only when if i am not getting any food elsewhere & i am starving.

yes the food is costly not expansive as such, however if 3-4 peoples were to have food, it becomes an expansive proposition here as well.

My family eats fast food, when we are out and about and cant really get home to fix a dinner, or when it has been a long day and no one wants to cook, i have fast food once in while at work because i have no time to make my lunch before or I just dont eat while i am at work which may be worse for me.

well with more and more eating this so called fast food, I am not sure it should be called fast food any more ..... may be "queue food"

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 .
