3.There are many reasons why fast food has become so popular all over the world.Some think that fast food is such a hugely profitable business-and obviously people enjoy eating it,but the popularity of fast food has increased as our lifestyles have changed over the years.The social landscape has changed immeasurably since fast food appeared in the second half of (lie 20th century.Back then,mums mostly stayed at home with the kids.Dads went to work,and they all got a healthy home-cooked meal at the end of the day.The lifestyle was slower.In this age,some mums still stay at home,but many are out at work,and some are single parents.If both parents are at work,they are often content just to throw something into the oven or the microwave,because after a hard and busy day,people don't have the time to create a meal-or at least they think they don't.
Fast food isn't just limited to eating out and ordering in-it'S now so easy to get a ready meal from the supermarket.You can pick up any kind of food you can think of at most supermarkets-Chinese,Italian,Japanese or Thai.There are healthy lifestyle options,but most people,unless they are on a specific diet,tend to be seduced(引诱)by the images they see on the packaging,and the description of the meal inside.
The proportion of single households has increased greatly since fast food was invented.While families might make an effort to eat together and eat fresh,home-cooked food,the single lifestyle doesn't often allow for this.Many people who live alone simply can't be bothered to make a big effort to cook for themselves.Some don't know how to.
It will take a major shift in lifestyle and cooking ability to lessen the hold that junk food has over the population and replace it with good home cooking.
