People whose job demands most of their time want to eat as fast as possible in order to get back to their work. They have meals, usually standing at a counter in any impersonal sort of diner. That´s why an industry has appeared recently – the fast food industry, which offers what modern eating habits require. It was first created in the USA, where life has become faster and faster because people are always worried about making more and more money. Some industries has spread out all over the world such as McDonald´s, Bob´s, Subway are familiar names from London to Tokyo. They sell burger, chip, hot-dog, pizza, milkshake, juice, ice-cream, softdrink…The millionaire companies do their best to attract the customer. Their shops show bright colors and lights and the spaces are neat and clean. So, young people are easily convinced to consume fast food which has become a synonym of modern life. But, what do doctors say about fast food ? Is it a healthy eating habit?
