    Hey guys! I thought of this topic as I was eating a Subway sub, very tasty, by the way.
    How often do you eat fast food? What's your favourite fast food place? Do you think Fast Food has contributed to the amount of obesity in western society?

    I eat Five Guys a lot, mostly because I work there and they offer a free meal with your shift (biggest perk of working there).
    I also enjoy Chick-fil-a when I can, but otherwise, I don't eat much fast food (mostly because of lack of petty cash).

    Unless you count Subway as fast food (which I don't), then I have never consumed any fast food ever in my entire natural born life. I'm a vegetarian and a health nut.

    Ohhh gosh, I love Subway; it's the only thing close to fast food I'll have since any other fast food place will make me ill.
    I used to live down a block from a subway and get a sandwich 2-3 times a month, but now I live in the middle of nowhere and it's been a year since my last Subway visit. I miss my fav sandwich, but I do appreciate not having the constant temptation to sabotage my own health and wallet.

    I definitely think fast food and even non-FF restaurants will pack on unnecessary pounds... if you eat it all the time. Moderation, self-control, and a healthy home kitchen is key; but hey, that's hard, so let's go eat at Applebee's. c;

    I try to stay away from fast food these days, except for Subway, which I don't consider to be fast food. If I do get fast food though, it'll be either McDonalds or KFC.

    The simple answer? "On occasion."

    Fast food is not something I like to make a regular habit of, honestly, since it's not as healthful as other things I could be eating. I'll tend to make my own meals out of what is in the house, but if there aren't many ingredients, or if I'm feeling especially lazy (usually the latter) I'll go out and get something, but I will try to spend the least money possible while doing so.

    I am trying to stay as far away from Panda Express as possible (even though it's only half a mile away), because that costs me more than most other food I eat and it is not good for my health whatsoever. I sadly have not weaned myself off fast food completely (one of these days, I hope) but I am not purposefully going to pursue it either.

    I don't eat fast food a lot. But when I do, I get McDonald's since it's my fav.

    I'll admit it; I love fast food, even if I don't eat it every day. I used to live in the midwest where they had a burger chain called White Castle, though I heard Nevada also has one now. Their sliders are some of the best I've ever eaten, and I normally don't really like sliders. Another Michigan special was Tubby's subs, which I thought tasted a little more quality with their meat than Subway.

    It is pretty easy to gain weight from a lot of fast food consumption, but sometimes it can be hard to avoid having to buy it now and then; in our case, we eat it whenever my mom doesn't feel like cooking, we don't have any groceries left in the house, or are out and about and don't have time to head home for dinner. My brother used to work at Subway, so he'd also get free meals and/or discounts if he bought food from them.

    Chik-fil-a. I love chicken. Need I say more? (Plus, they make it pretty damn amazing for a fast food place xD)

    I have honestly never eaten at a fast-food place in my life. I eat at Subway on occasion, but I count Subway as more of a sandwich shop than a fast-food place, since they only really offer subs. Even then, I eat there maybe once every couple months if I'm out and there aren't any other places I can grab a bite to eat at.

    I personally don't like the food most fast-food places offer, anyway. Anything really greasy or with ground meat in it is hard for me to swallow (literally), so I tend to stay away from places like that. I eat at Panera Bread a lot when I'm out instead of fast food because their food is really good quality, plus their salads and paninis are delicious!

    I eat a pretty decent amount of fast food. Probably around once every one to two weeks. Since I'm pretty much starved by the time I get out of school, fast food is the easiest route for me to take to get something in my stomach. A burger, some fries, a drink, and I'm good. If it's KFC, I'll probably just get the chicken and corn meal or a $5 fill-up.
    Honestly, it's really more for convenience sake since I can make everything at home.
    My favorite fast food place would have to be Wendy's. It's right next to my school and they have pretty decent burgers.

    McDonald's and KFC for me! I love eating fast food, but I exercise regularly so it doesn't really affect me. I've only stayed in the USA for a few months so I don't really know if fast food has contributed that much to the obesity of people XD However, I did notice that most of the obese people I've seen lived in the city. I think it might have something to do with the larger number of fast food and pizza restaurants, but I believe that the main culprit is the very huge servings in these restaurants. In my country, you could buy 5 burgers from McDonald's everyday and still end up thinner than someone who only eats 1 burger in the USA. There are many fast food restaurants here too, but there are also very small servings (so people can afford it lol) and that's pretty much why you won't see obese people walking around the streets often.

    I like eating fast foods a lot, but I'm eating them on occasion, usually because it's quite pricey that I have to limit eating it at times. Usually if I ate one, it's at KFC, Texas Chicken (some may know it as Church's Chicken), and on occasion, Pizza Hut.

    Not often at all, unless I am in a hurry, or very busy. My favorite place (though I'm not proud of it) is Taco Bell. I'll feel less guilty about eating fast food once these chains remove all GMOs and other unnecessary preservatives from their products (which Subway, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut all plan to do in the near future, by the way).

    Honorable mention for good fast food places to eat is Five Guys Burgers and Fries.

    I don't really like KFC, and don't really eat fast food all that often, but I do love Chick- Fl- A. And for the whole obesity thing, fast food does have a big impact on it. Obesity can be directly related to income level in famlies, since it's much cheaper to buy a McDonald's meal instead of something healthy and homecooked.

    I'm not particularly against it or for it honestly. I went through a ~2/3 year period of despising the stuff but dropped it cause I was too lazy to be fussy lmao
    Most of my time is spent at home or at college and I'm too lazy to seek out specific food, so I just settle with whatever's on hand haha
    90% of the time it's noodles or rice wooP
