Fast food chains are nowadays growing trend in the each and every part of the world, now in India as well. Fast food is a term used for such variety of foods that can be prepared and hence served quickly. While any meal that takes less preparation time can be termed as fast food but usually it refers to the food that is being sold in restaurants with preheated ingredients, and thus served to the customer in packed form. Whether you are on the move or with any of your friends who hardly care about their diet schedule, you will finally end up eating at some fast food restaurant despite your best efforts to avoid them.
Fast food chains can be found almost everywhere, except in villages and rural areas. They are much popular in cities where people are too busy to cook their own food. It is the human tendency to find shortcuts for the work that we don’t like to do. Housewives who hate cooking due to their lack of interest or due to laziness end up eating fast food at any restaurant or fast food chain. As a result, her children and everyone in her family gradually gets used to fast foods. When they grow up they practice the same thing and this way appetite for fast food keeps on increasing. Only the housewives are not to be blamed for this, but several other factors also contribute to it like busy life schedule, lack of options etc.
Even I love fast food so much especially the Chinese fried rice and chowmein. Whenever I go out with my friends, I never prefer to take home cooked food for lunch but I love to go to some fast food chain and eat to my full. There are some fast food chains in India that have gained tremendous popularity in last few years like KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken), Mc Donalds, Pizza Hut, Dominas Pizza etc.
Even Subway has started just some time back in Delhi and it is on the verge of getting popular in few years. Most major fast food chains have their websites, and most now offer the nutrition information on-line. So you can make your plan for the next holiday while sitting at home by choosing the best fast food joint.
“Healthy” is the term, related to this context. Making the choice of the fast food type is only healthy if you visit fast food restaurants sparingly, only when you find yourself with no other choice. If you start thinking that you can eat at fast food places more often because you're confident in your ability to make "healthy" choices, ultimately the results won't be healthy at all if you become tempted by the large selection of unhealthy choices. The healthiest choice is to avoid fast food chains in the first place. Try to have fresh fruit or vegetable salads. Having flavoured milk shakes is also not a bad option. Make your choice tastier as well as healthier. Here are the pictures of few salad dressings that can make your mouth water:-
Milk shakes are also good for health but only it you prefer to make it at home as milk shakes available in the fast food corners contain colouring and flavouring agents that are harmful for health.\
Fast food is good as long as your health is not hampered. Try to take fast foods occasionally. If you take it on a regular basis, your health will have to suffer due to your choice. Make your habits healthy.
