Are you for or against fast food? And why ?
I'm against it, but I think it's helpful sometimes.
This is for a research, so please be cooperative.
I like Fast Food but I won't just go for anything. I hate Mcdonals since it's too small and doesn't taste good, Farmer Boys tastes alittle burned most of the time. I can go Carl's Jr or Wendy's and above, that's about how much I can stand in terms of mediocure Fast Food. I think Fast Food is good as long as you eat it in moderation.

What you said
For, I suppose, since I don't really care.
I'm all for it. I love being able to get out after work and pick up a burger and fries and just munch without the hassle of cooking it because everyone at my house is asleep by the time I'm off.
I'm also of the opinion that it's not something to be eaten but once or twice a week. That [parasitic bomb] ain't a replacement for an essential food group, you [tornado fang]ing fat ass, diet coke-value-meal ordering mother fuckers. You know who you are.
A bit of both. I like it when I don't have time to prepare anything else, since it's cheap and convenient, and generally I'll have a take-away every other week as a Friday night treat. As Gotham said, though, it's certainly not a replacement for a wholesome meal. I'll only eat it sparingly.
I practically live off the stuff when no ones home to cook. But I can afford to. My metabolism is ridiculous.
For everyone else, the stuff should be an option because there will be times when there's nothing to eat in the house and you just want something quick and dirty.
For it, especially when having heart disease running in the family. owob
Most of the time when I'm on the road, and the occasional Denny's, which is a regular resturant, not a fast food resturant. It's only good when you are out for so long and you need something in yer gut.
Definitely for!
When you lived near the big three (McD, BK, KFC) it's only natural. 8D
and they serve as alternative choice if you're bored of eating at the same food court everyday... -_-

Two things, McDonalds in recent days should never be in anyone's "Big 3". Wendys, Burger King, & Popeye's are where it's at. Secondly, food courts hardly ever have anything interesting. XD
Y'know what I like? A good old fashioned chipper.
I don't really care, not like they are hurting anyone I care about.
Everyone else who sues Mcdonalds cause "they made us fat" is too stupid to care for.
And they are useful when, say crossing from Naples to Minneapolis.

Burger King isn't that popular up here from what I've seen. In my particular area, any fast food joints are usually overrun by Tim Hortons. (even though that's not necessarily fast food)

That maybe in US land but here? the only Fastfood I can think off besides the big three is... Oporto, Ogalo, and Red Rooster.
Which sucks and BK is the best anyway. XD

Oh yeah. Disregard me, I'm too used to America. XD
That said, someone mentioned Tim Hortons. I've seen a few of those places popping up here, what are they like?
Yeah that'd be me that said that.
Anyways, it's basically your country's equivalent of Dunkin' Doughnuts, but way better. It's got many other things like sandwiches and Timbits. Timbits being little ball-shaped doughnuts. However, I haven't the slightest idea how their coffee is, but I usually hear good things about it. I recall at one point Krispy Kreme tried to compete with them up here, but disappeared after a few years. Starbuck's is still around though.
I always prefer a restaurant that serves something that is called churasco.
Better than a third pounder.
Against, especially living in NYC. Toooooooooooo many good restaurants & places to eat to choose from.
Having said that, I do love me some $2 Tacos & 5 Dumplings for a $1.
Im not much of a fast food guy.
Especially after watching Super Size Me. D:
Now I can't eat mc Griddles anymore without thinking of the fat an [parasitic bomb] and how im getting fatter just eating them.
Also, is it just me, or do Mc Griddles give an odd sensation in your throat, at the base, like a burning? Theyre good, but that's terrible...
In any case, I only ever eat Fast food at the SI Mall's food court, and even then, its between Pizza, (Ricotta + Spinach pies = <3 ) the asian food, or Taco bell's Bean Burrito. (I DO love my Bean Burrito)
But even then, I dont eat fast food often. And If I HAVE to eat lunch at College, I bring my own. Specially since everything is overpriced in the cafeteria.
Plus, my mom's side of the family has Obesity.
My mom and aunt, both have trouble with their weith management, and my uncle is fat, and has Diabetus. I dont think i inherited my Dad's fast metabolism from his side unfortunately.
For me, it's dependent on where. Most places, yeah, I'm all for it. McDonald's is possibly the one place I'm against. There are two reasons for this:
1) Most of their food is nothing more than molded grease.
2) It's the fast food restaurant with all the [tornado fang]ing stupid legal issues.
I do like my fast food sometimes, but I have something against McDonald's. ESPECIALLY after watching Super Size Me. But if it weren't for the diet I'm on right now, I'd end up feeling like [parasitic bomb]. This gives more truth to the adage "you are what you eat".
I WANT MY SONIC, DENNY'S, JOE'S CRAB SHACK AND LONG JOHN SILVER'S IN MY NYC ALREADY DAMMIT
Fast food isn't in my everyday routine.
But when I want to, I'll pick BK Whopper. If there's no BK around, Mc's Filet-O-Fish is my last destination.

Well, those "Fatasses" are usually the ones who get no exercise or already fat and wonder why they're fat. Some of us do have the luxury of fast metabolism but knowing where you body stands is key. While I'm much more relaxed in the winter, I get a hell of a work out during the summer from bike riding and walking every where.
Moderation and knowing your body. That's what you gotta know.
Fast food, when I'm hungry and have no other option available at the time, is alright. I don't eat it very often, I would sooner just cook something myself, but if I'm on the road and have no other option than a fast food joint, I'll take what I can get. Around here, there are more fast food places than necessary, so oftentimes, if you're wanting to eat out, that's pretty much the only option.
Unless you wanna call ahead, reserve a table, and pay a large amount at a swankier place.

Yeah, although sometimes it's not even worth it.
I mean one time my mom, brother, and I went to this pancake place that closes at like 2 or 3 PM and wait about 20 minutes to an hour for a table. My brother said that the place had the best pancakes he ever tasted but my mom and I have to disagree. The pancakes were no better than IHOP only they filled me up too fast and made me a little bloated really fast. The eggs and sasagues didn't taste that good either. In fact the eggs tasted no better than the eggs I had at the chior mountain retreat, and those eggs came from a carten for crying out loud! So I'm a little skeptical about fancy food places.
For, quite convenient and delicious, but of course, it shouldn't be eaten anything close to daily.

I know I miss mine too and the closest I remember is like 45 minutes away or maybe there was another a town away but reguardless. I didn't understand why they had to close that Wendy's down since it was a street corner away from my high school.
Also, I've seen no mention of White Castle in here, which is a DAMN shame. Sliders are the epitome of a journey through Heaven & Hell.
Too bad, there's no such thing as Wendy's in Aussie... I missed the curly fries. :(

My friend despises fast food and anything that's not healthy, and yet he even makes the exception for White Castle.
Hmm.... I've noticed that Starbucks is slowly turning from a coffee joint to a fast food-type of joint. Oh well. Coffee's still good though.

Dude I never saw and still don't like it. The burgers anyway, if there's no other choice I'll get some fries a chicken sandwhich, since I never had one there before, and a Mc Flurry.
I've never seen Super Size Me. I'm just not a fast food junkie. The grease makes me sick.
Is it a bad thing that a movie is making me not like something that really isnt good for me in the fist place?
Also, I forgot all about Whitecastle.
God is their stuff great.
Well, I'm rather for it.
It's always good for a quick bite on the go.

Nobody has three meals of fast food a day.
Eh, I guess for if you know when to eat in moderation. McDonald's mostly for their chicken nuggets (And dipped in honey...), Chick'Fil'A, and Wendy's. Arby's is decent but pricey and I want to try Sonic one day too.
I haven't had much in the way of fast food in the past few years, mostly because I'd been on a diet and lost 100 lbs. However, I have had a craving for a Big Mac lately. I used to work at McDonald's (and eat there often in town), but I never tried a Big Mac until I was almost 19. Go fig. o.O
What's really uncanny is that I can taste and feel subtle things in the food each fast food chain serves.
Also: I don't think Super Size Me is propaganda, I think Morgan Spurlock was trying to pull a publicity stunt of sorts.
I will say that I did love Wendy's Spicy Chicken Fillet sammich. That was damn good.

But how will they ever catch up with their shitty television shows? I mean, it is an absolute necessity for them to know what Stacy thinks of Tyler's shirt on American Idol!
TiVo.
Unless you mean how they can see the TV through their double Whopper. I suggest transparent buns.
For me, fast food's one of those "once or twice a week" things. Fast food isn't inherently bad on it's own, though, as it all depends on what you order. I pick up an Egg McMuffin for breakfast on those mornings that I outright oversleep; it makes a for a quick, healthy source of protein to help start the day. I generally prefer to do all of my own cooking, though. It's cheaper and healthier that way, plus I like knowing exactly what goes into my food!

Quite true, though.
I'm for it, use in moderation, yadda yadda yadda.
In some fast-food resturants there are healthier alternatives.
I think if you exercised, it really wouldn't matter.
I want two triple whoppers, large fries and I want them extra greasy including the drink. Gotta watch my weight.

There really shouldn't be though. Fast food is known for being greasy and salty. If you don't want that, just don't eat there.
Getting a salad at McDonalds is like getting filet mignon at Dunkin Donuts. It just doesn't make sense.
Except the former happened and the latter didn't. But the McDonald's salad you eat with that Big Mac and super-sized fries and Coke of yours won't make you healthier now, will it? Getting a salad there will be utterly pointless.

And yeah, there's hardly any point in getting a healthier alternative, fast food joints are by no means popular because of their apple pieces instead of fries. But I suppose you could do it if you really fear getting a health complication.
