HW 3- Fast food insights and green market realizations

Today at the green market venders were quite happy and open to share their insights and information on the product they were selling. They answered each of my questions delightfully and had many things to say. At Wendy's however, I am apparently mentally unwell due to my curiosity of what part of the chicken is the nugget. I understand why people search for a place like Wendy's for food- it tastes good. There is a lot of room for seating, and air conditioners keep patrons comfortable as they eat. Why get all sweaty buying vegetables that came straight out of the dirt?

A. Because it is healthy for you

B. Because it promotes exercise and getting up out of a chair

C. Because the BHT in those fries aren't going to feel so great later

D. All of the above

Answer: D

Fast food is successful because it offers instant gratification, good tasting food and a break from the heat or cold outside for a cheap price. People figure that buying a bunch of separate ingredients outside gives them no place to sit, no "real food" to eat and a hole in their wallet. Sure, fast food places have made moves toward "healthier choices", but honestly, who goes to KFC for a small salad or McDonalds strictly for apple wedges? Nobody. People go to a fast food place for a cheap, full meal. What exactly is in the meal? Ask our resident fat person Albert. "Sugar, sugar and sugar" is all that people are getting.
