Why Do People Rely so Much on Fast Food?

Ask a Question

My sister for example currently has cancer (hope she beats it of course), is fat (there's no way around it – no pun intended), and nearly every day what she eats is fast food (fried this, fried that) than eat something more... Healthy.

I don't know how people are okay with it, if it were me I'd get nauseated from consuming that type of food every day. Even the smell is a tad unpleasant.

I'll admit, I went this morning to McDonald's (haven't been there in months) for a breakfast meal of £2.79, bacon + egg burger and a cappucino. I honestly liked more drinking the cappucino than eating the burger (somewhat dry and tasteless).

England really needs its own "MAHA" as people are too glued to junk food.

Have you thought that shes gonna eat what she wants because she's realised like it's too short I couldn't afford to eat out all the time but now and again I don't mind it

Because they were never shown how to cook? Step-son and family eat fast food either take-away or delivered ALL the time, breakfast, lunch, dinner/tea anytime in-between, even going for a take out coffee. His partner has no idea how to cook and doesn't want to learn, she doesn't have a busy daily schedule, walk to school and back twice a day. He works full time and dinner/tea is never made. And yes they never have any money.

I honestly believe it's habit. If you get used to grabbing something on the way to and from work then you'll never really have the inclination to go home and cook. We learn from our homelife as children, if you saw real food being prepared then it's the norm for you. Obviously there are exceptions. Good grief every other programme on tv is a cookery programme, there are no excuses for not trying to learn

Auntielettie I don't watch Live TV and those type of shows are honestly pretty boring to me, but completely inoffensive and people can probably learn from it, anyway.

With so many fast food shops everywhere it's no wonder obesity isn't going down. That said, I'd be against banning them.
