The fast-food industry has come a long way from the classic 1950’s burger-and-fries meal, though. You might be wondering how fast food could ever be considered healthy, especially after reading about its effects on dietary quality in the US. Increased fast food consumption has contributed to reductions in dietary quality and rising levels of dietary fat, sodium, and overall energy intake. The United States Department of Agriculture reported that fast food provided nearly 16% of our daily calories in 2012, compared to less than 6% in the late 1970s. In 2014, about 58% of Americans visited a fast-food restaurant two to three times per week.
According to a 2016 report from the Centers for Disease Control, on any given day, nearly 37% of adults in the United States eat fast food for one of their main meals. Whether you’re road-tripping, traveling to a competition, or just busy running errands, a quick stop at the drive-through makes life a lot easier. Fast food is convenient, widely available, and often delicious.
