IntroductionPeople are changing their diet very rapidly. A few years ago the
word fast food was not so common to all. Now a day it is very
common and popular word to all. Although fast food restaurants
are often viewed as a representation of modern technology, theconcept of "ready-cooked food to go is as old as cities
themselves; unique variations are historical in various cultures.
Ancient Roman cities had bread-and-olive stands, East Asian
cultures feature noodle shops. Flatbread and falafel are

ubiquitous in the Middle East. Popular Indian "fast" food
delicacies include Vada pav, Papri chaat, Bhelpuri, Panipuri andDahi vada. In the French-speaking nations of West Africa,
meanwhile, roadside stands in and around the larger cities
continue to sell- as they have done for generations- a range of
ready-to-eat, char-grilled meat sticks known locally as
"brochettes" (not to be confused with the bread snack of the
same name found in Europe).
Why are people, in recent years, switching to fast food
restaurants? Could it be that they purely just enjoy fast food? I
believe there are three goals that consumers attempt to balance
when deciding what and where to eat. In recent years,
consumers have switched to fast food because of social pleasure,
eating pleasure, and lifestyle support.
Cuisine
Modern commercial fast food is often highly processed and
prepared in an industrial fashion, i.e., on a large scale with

standard ingredients and standardised cooking and production
methods. It is usually rapidly served in cartons or bags or in aplastic wrapping, in a fashion which minimizes cost. In most
fast food operations, menu items are generally made from
processed ingredients prepared at a central supply facility and
then shipped to individual outlets where they are reheated,
cooked (usually by microwave ordeep frying) or assembled in a
short amount of time. This process ensures a consistent level of
product quality, and is key to being able to deliver the order
quickly to the customer and eliminate labor and equipment costs
in the individual stores.
Because of commercial emphasis on speed, uniformity and low
cost, fast food products are often made with ingredients
formulated to achieve a certain flavor or consistency and to
preserve freshness.

VariantsAlthough fast food often brings to mind traditional American
fast food such as hamburgers and fries, there are many other
forms of fast food that enjoy widespread popularity in the West.
Chinese takeaways/takeout restaurants are particularly popular.
They normally offer a wide variety of Asian food (not always
Chinese), which has normally been fried. Most options are some
form of noodles, rice, or meat. In some cases, the food is
presented as a smrgsbord, sometimes self service. The
customer chooses the size of the container they wish to buy, and
then is free to fill it with their choice of food. It is common to
combine several options in one container, and some outlets
charge by weight rather than by item. Many of these restaurants
offer free delivery for purchases over a minimum amount.

Sushi has seen rapidly rising popularity in recent times. A form
of fast food created in Japan. Sushi is normally cold sticky rice
served with raw fish. The most popular kind in the West is rolls
of rice in nori with filling. The filling often includes fish,
chicken orcucumber.
Pizza is a common fast food category in the United States, with
chains such as Domino's Pizza, Sbarro and Pizza Hut. Menus are
more limited and standardized than in traditional pizzerias, and
pizza delivery, often with a time commitment, is offered.
Kebab houses are a form of fast food restaurant from the Middle
East , especially Turkey and Lebanon. Meat is shaven from a
rotisserie, and is served on a warmed flatbread with salad and a
choice of sauce and dressing. These doner kebabs are distinct
from shish kebabs served on sticks. Kebab shops are also found
throughout the world, especially Europe, but they generally are
less common in the US.

CriticismFast food chains have come under fire from consumer groups,
such as the Center for Science in the Public Interest, a longtime
fast food critic over issues such as caloric content, trans fats and
portion sizes.
Some of the concerns have led to the rise of the Slow Food
movement. This movement seeks to preserve local cuisines and
ingredients, and directly opposes laws and habits that favor fast
food choices. Proponents of the slow food movement try to
educate consumers about what its members considers the richer,
more varied and more nourishing tastes of fresh, local
ingredients that have been recently harvested.

Health Issue
Trans fats which are commonly found in fast food have been
shown in many tests to have a negative health effect on the
body. A study shows fed monkeys a diet consisting of a similar
level of trans fats as what a person who ate fast food regularly
would consume. Both diets contained the same overall number
of calories. It was found that the monkeys who consumed higher
level of trans fat developed more abdominal fat than those fed a
diet rich in unsaturated fats. They also developed signs of
insulin resistance, which is an early indicator ofdiabetes. After
six years on the diet, the trans fat fed monkeys had gained 7.2%
of their body weight, compared to just 1.8% in the unsaturatedfat group.
A reachers says that fast food consumption has been shown to
increase calorie intake, promote weight gain, and elevate risk for
diabetes. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
ranked obesity as the number one health threat for Americans. It
is the second leading cause of preventable death in the United
Sates and results in 400,000 deaths each year. About 60 million
American adults are classified as being obese with another 127
