Biggest Advantages of Fast Food

1.It is possible to eat healthy at a quick-service restaurant.

There are several fast food menu items that are under 500 calories. You may need to look deeper into the menu or take some condiments off during your order, but it can happen.

2.It saves time when a meal is required.

Even fast home cooking requires 15-30 minutes of time for the average family in preparation and cooking. Then you have another 15-30 minutes of eating time. Visiting a fast food restaurant can cut those time requirements in half. Fast food makes it possible for people to find time to eat together, even during busy days.

3.It makes food affordable for some families.

As of September 2017, there are several food items available on fast food menus that make eating at a quick-service restaurant cheaper than buying groceries at a local supermarket.

4.It supports local business owners.

Quick-service restaurants are often independently owned and operated franchises which are run by local entrepreneurs. There are brand-owned restaurants within most fast food chains, including McDonald’s, which owns and operates 18% of all their locations.

Biggest Disadvantages of Fast Food

1.It isn’t easy to find healthy items that are fresh at fast food restaurants.

Fresh food items are increasing in popularity at quick-service restaurants. They are not, however, always easy to find. You may need to ask for a custom order to be able to lower your calorie count as well, which is not always successful. It takes more effort to order healthy items than it does to order high-calorie, high fat content food items in the fast food industry.

2.It offers a lower average quality of food than other eating establishments.

Many quick-service restaurants use frozen foods that are prepared off-site to increase the speed of order delivery. Fruits and vegetables undergo long-term storage practices, which reduces the likelihood of having locally-sourced items included with menu items.

3.It isn’t always cheaper to eat fast food.

The average price of a fast food meal is around $7 per person, assuming a side and a drink is ordered for each person. Eating just one fast food meal per day, over the course of a week, means $210 will be spent on that meal. Smart shopping at a grocery store can be 75% less than the costs of an average fast food meal. Add in the potential medical costs of constantly eating fast food and it may not always be cheaper, even if it is easier, to use this option for when you’re on the go.
