fast food

Fast food refers to quickly prepared meals that are typically served at restaurants or through drive-thrus. These establishments offer a limited menu focused on speed and convenience, often using mass production techniques to keep costs low. Common items include hamburgers, fries, pizzas, and salads, which are designed for quick consumption. Fast food is popular due to its accessibility, affordability, and the consistent taste across locations. However, it often raises health concerns due to high levels of fat, sugar, and sodium, leading to debates about its impact on nutrition and public health.
