ast food is awesome. You pull up in your car, speak into
a microphone and in less than 30 seconds you are eating hot,
Ftasty, inexpensive food. Fast food is any ready-to-eat food
purchased and eaten away from home, including food from restaurants
and convenience stores. Fast food is an American original; it was
invented here. It reflects American attitudes and culture in that it
embodies everything we value: it is tasty, convenient, inexpensive,
and, most importantly, fast. Other factors in the popularity of fast food
are that there is no preparation required before meals and no dishes
to clean afterwards. Fast food is so popular, in fact, that today almost
1
half of our food dollars are spent on fast foods.
If you really care about your health, you know that avoiding
tobacco, exercising regularly, and eating healthy foods are necessary.
But is it possible to eat fast food and still be healthy? It is if you order
the right kinds of fast food, and this guide will show you how to do
it. By following three easy rules, you can eat out and still eat healthy.
Before you turn to see if your favorite fast food items are healthy,
however, you should read this introduction. It will explain why you
should really care about choosing healthy fast foods, and it will help
you understand how the guide was put together.
It is impossible to have a guide that everyone agrees with because
people have different perspectives and ideas about what is and is not
healthy. However, this guide was developed with the best science
available and it was carefully reviewed by a national panel of nutrition
experts. This is not the only fast food guide available, but it represents
the most comprehensive collection of nutritional data for fast food
restaurants across the United States. It will help you navigate the fast
food maze and make food choices that actually contribute to good
health, not chronic disease.
If fast food is so much a part of our American culture,
why do we need a fast food guide?
As a population, Americans have more body fat now than any
other population at any time in human history. That’s right. There has
never been a population in world history that has had more body fat
than Americans do right now. The most recent data from the Centers
for Disease Control shows that 71% of men in the United States are
2
overweight or obese. Just over 62% of women are overweight or
obese, and children and adolescents are not immune. These two
youngest groups in the American population have experienced the
greatest increases in body fat of the past 20 years. Americans also
have more type II diabetes than at any other time in history. Excessive
body weight and diabetes cause many chronic diseases and will likely
3
shorten the average lifespan in the United States by two to five years.
Consequently, this may be the first time in the past century that children
will die at a younger age than their parents. So what does any of this
have to do with fast food?
