Fast food

Examples of fast food:
Cheeseburger, Soft drink, French fries, Pizza Margherita, Hot dog, Fried chicken, Submarine sandwich, and Donuts.

Fast food is the term for a kind of food that people eat from a restaurant, cafe or take-out where food is prepared and served quickly.

It is mass-produced food. It is often western pattern and pre-prepared and delivered to the shop ready for frying or boiling. There is a strong priority on "speed of service".

The restaurants that sell fast food are called "fast food shops" or "fast-food restaurants". Some of the more common fast food restaurants are McDonald's, Wendy's, Burger King, Culver's, Pizza Hut, and KFC. All these chains have a limited short menu and serve the same kind of food in all their outlets. The shops are subcontracted by the supplying company and tied absolutely by contract to that single supplier. However, the same kind of criticism could be (and is) directed at some other kinds of restaurants. The problem is seen by many critics as being one of over-eating, rather than one of the specific food types.
