Although I will admit to occasionally ( and very rarely) indulging in what would be considered "fast food", while caught "on the road", "in transit" and/or in a "desperate predicament", where the opportunity to prepare & cook a healthy and economically sound meal for myself is both impractical and impossible, I must take the position that the continued heavy reliance and dependence that America has with "fast food" is nothing short of disHEARTENING (it is also extremely unhealthy for the human HEART, pun intended). As America continues to develop and even encourage "lazy behavior", behavior that allows people to cheat themselves and their families out of "eating healthy" simply because they're too lazy to shop and prepare their own food-- because it's so much "easier" for them to pull up in their automobile vehicle to the local fast food "drive through" and place their order anonymously to a complete stranger on the other end of a microphone/speaker device, and then "woof down" their food while driving recklessly through traffic with a burger in one hand and a cell phone or text messager in the other--- well, I think you get the picture...
And it's also worth mentioning that America's fixation with "Fast Food" is greatly responsible for the current "foreclosure" and "debt crisis"!! That's right, people waste so much money on "fast food" that they're unable to pay their bills in a timely fashion. Instead of taking the time to go to the supermarket and then prepare their meals at home, the tried and tested method that "old school" Americans have practiced for generations, a practice that enabled past generations to have enough money left over from their weekly food budget to "sack some away" for the proverbial "rainy day" or retirement, "today's" generation of "modern" families completely ignore that practical approach and waste much of their income on overpriced fast food--- and then before long they find themselves caught in the whirlwind of spiraling debt--- this is a major problem that's so often overlooked, but definitely needs to be addressed if we're to bring some sense to America's ongoing and horrific debt crisis! Wise Up America Before It's Too Late!!!
