Book Description
In today’s world we live life in the “fast lane.” We have no time for anything, including eating. When we do eat, we eat standing, in our cars while going somewhere, or while doing something else. A food that allows us to maintain this type of eating is known as “fast food.” The food is prepared quickly, it looks good, smells good, tastes good, is filling, and is relatively inexpensive. Forty percent of American meals are eaten outside the home, and each day one out of four Americans visits a fast food restaurant. This food does not supply the nutrients, vitamins, and minerals the body needs to maintain good health. Fast food offerings, additives and allergens in fast food, concerns about eating fast food, health consequences from eating fast food, and healthier choices at health food restaurants are presented in this book.
