Fast Food includes everything that does not require long preparation: coffee, tea, salads, dishes from potato and other vegetables, chicken, eggs, desserts, cooling drinks, pizza both many other simple and tasty, delicious dishes. Working in the USA has gotten more and more competitive. Owners often regulate the hours that a worker is actually paid so that they are permanently considered part time or temporary workers who do not qualify for benefits. Many people in the work force must hold down several jobs, all temporary and without medical benefits. With all the responsibilities of multiple workers and multiple jobs in the household, there are two things getting scarce - money because prices of gasoline and food are climbing and time because people must work longer to make ends meet. Fast food between jobs has become very important. Traditionally fast food was unhealthy, often boiled in deep fat cookers and full of artery clogging saturated greases. In the past several years because of popular and critical protests, some of the leading fast food chains have offered substitute high carbohydrate / low fat items on their menus. The story is not all bad though, as some people have been more successful and are making more money. Their families are eating out more on special occasions when before they only frequented fast food drive-ins. Interestingly their appetites for food have not changed though they can afford to eat in sit-down restaurants. Restaurants now have added entire sections of their menus to carry niche fast food of various ethnic varieties. Just add a sprig of celery here, some curly fries there and perhaps a strawberry and small chunk of cheese and you have a recipe for an up-scale platter that carries your good old hamburger at prices three times as much as you paid at the fast food drive in. However - you now enjoy eating that burger deluxe in a comfortable chair or bench with a table cloth and the latest rap singer in the background hitting that rhythmatic beat while you chew your greasy food in style. While people in the 1960 s used to go to drive ins to each fast food and meet fast women, today most of this action has moved upscale into fast food restaurants like Ruby Tuesdays, Denny s, Potbelly s and yes - even Hooters where the ratio of guys to girls is about 10 : 1....go get em girls!

For Fast Food this includes everything that does not require long preparation: coffee, tea, salads, dishes from potato and other vegetables, chicken, eggs, desserts, cooling drinks, pizza both many other simple and tasty, delicious dishes.
