In our society fast food has become so successful because of the convenience it offers. They are carefully located to where people can find and enjoy. In a study "nearly 600 adults and teens in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area were interviewed...most reported eating fast food at least three times per week."(Hitti, Miranda. WebMD Health news) In this study, the reason why fast food restaurants were so popular were because 92.3% said it was quick, 80.1% said was easy to get too and 63.6% said it was inexpensive. This made me wonder how easily it is to access a food restaurant without having any difficulty such as cooking for yourself which also in the study seemed to be an issue; 53.2% said I'm too busy to cook and 44.3% said I don't like to prepare foods myself. Realizing that this was an issue, a simple one, one could easily eliminate that issue by eating at fast food restaurant thereby improving the speed and the success of the business.
Food is a business which I never really realized until I saw how big of a franchise McDonald's and Burger King was, etc. These business narrow down on issues and needs masses of people deal with, making their business sort of this avenue out of the issue people are dealing with furthermore showing this sense of compassion towards the customer. What a great way to reel in the fish. The reason why I never really saw food as a business was because I ate a lot of home cooked meals, so I found food as a gift each time my parents cooked. Now seeing that people have their meals made by these fast food restaurants it exemplifies the essence of increasing laziness which shows, we are the fattest nation.
