Just check out the stock market! Fast food restaurants stocks are soaring! And more and more open every day.
Fast food chains all over the world are here and they are here to stay. Most are successful because of the hectic lifestyles we all lead.
In the morning we have to get the kids ready for school, get ourselves ready for work and remember all the errends we have to get done at lunchtime! We no longer have the time or the energy to cook elaborate meals for our families after working a 12 hour day. Going out to dinner at a’sit down’ restaurant can become quite expensive after a very short time, and that’s where the fast food restaurant comes in.
Fast, inexpensive, doesn’t waste out time so we have more time to be with our family before heading to bed for the night only to get up in the morning and start ll over again. That’s the stuff fast food restaurants are made of, "get em in and get em out!" They are actually timed on each order!
Don’t get me wrong, there are some decent ones out there where everything isn’t deep fried or hasn’t been sitting under a heat lamp for 1/2 hour before we get it.
You can make healthier choices in some fast food places. Wendys, for example gives you a choice of salad or baked potato with your meal instead of just greasy fried potatoes. Here there are also Chinese drive thru restaurants where you can get steamed vegetables with rice instead of fried chicken with deep fried potato wedges.
Of course, you can always get the greasy burgers, fries and milk shakes, but you do have a choice to frequent fast food restrants that serve alternatives to the usual greasy fare.
And the restaurants will continue to flourish as long as we live our lives trying to shove 34 hours into a 24 hour day!
