On my way to school each day I pass an overwhelming amount of fast food establishments: McDonalds, Chick-Fil-A, Burger King, Zaxby's, Arby's and the list goes on. What is mind boggeling to me as that the drive thru lanes are usually backed up. Are Americans really that lazy? I mean we are already eating billions of Big Macs each year, is it too hard to park our cars, walk inside and order? I guess so. Families now have the option of ordering family size meals to feed everyone instead of cooking. So we can eat with our families around the dinner table, but we have to be shoving grease and unnessesary calories in our faces to do it. It is truly pathetic. I wonder what the average american's health status would be like if we just cut fast food out of our diets completely and settled for home cooked meals. Are we in that much of a hurry that making a sandwich and bringing it to work is too much time? Are we so concerned about being there on time that we want to clog our bodies with cholesterol? And is the food really that good that it can be sacrificed? It kills me...and chances are it is killng many Americans each year who substitute fast food meals for a healthy, harty meal. Unfortunately, the fast food industry is booming, new establishments are popping up everywhere, and the biggest shock to me, no matter how many of them they build, they will be crowded!
