well spoken and written valerie i couldn't agree with you more!
fast food,typically the hamburger does cost as low as 99p in the UK and here in Pakistan too,when a burger is that cheap to purchase and to consume why go to the friggin shops to buy something to cook? in fact it will cost you so much more to buy all those ingredients separately and make your own burger.
when food is available so cheaply to eat why bother thinking whats good for your health and what isn't?
nowadays more focus is on something quick,cheap and tasty that you can have on the go,anywhere and anytime.
Today's fast lifestyle means fastfood,fast music,fast cars,in fact fast anything...
gone are those days when you had to forage for your food in the jungle and eat what was available,,no mcdonald's menu there!
