520			_a"Fast food refers to food that can be prepared and served quickly. It can come from many places: sit-down restaurants, counter service, take-out. drive-thru, and delivery. Fast food is popular because the food is inexpensive, convenient, and tastes good. Fast food may include refined grains instead of whole grains, contain saturated fat, cholesterol, and added sugar, and it can be high in sodium (aka sall) which is used as a preservative and makes food more flavorful and satisfying. Fast food is a name for food that is made and presented to costumers in short time. It is usually made with preheated or precooked ingredients, prepared in bulk and sold in packages for take-away. As a term, "fast food" appeared for the first time in Merriam-Webster dictionary in 1951 but its roots are much, much older. The profound economic, urban and social changes of the 20th century resulted in people eating their meals more and more often outside the home. A new style of restaurant appeared, offering simple dishes that were prepared quickly and presented with minimal service, thereby changing people's eating habits. This concept marked the beginning of fast food, and a whole new style of eating out. It emerged in the United States during the interwar period, a time when cars became more affordable. Hot dog stands sprang up along main roads, as did drive-in restaurants, where waitresses brought the food directly to customers' cars. Children eat five times more fast food today than they did in 1970, according to one medical research group. Every day, one out of every three young people ages four to nineteen eats fast food. This captivating book provides an overview of why eating fast food can be unhealthy and why eating too much fast food can contribute to being overweight and lead to other health problems. Fast food is often considered unhealthy due to it being loaded with calories, sodium, and unhealthy fat-often enough in one meal for an entire day. It also tends to be low in nutrients and almost totally lacking in fruit, vegetables, and fiber. They may seem relatively harmless, but Ronald over at McDonald's, Wendy, and that Burger King guy are all members of an underground society of fast-food owners—a club with more secrets than the U.S government and more tricks up its sleeve than Houdini that seem to make their food rather irresistible, while it causes damage to your waistline and well-being." —Preface
