2. The history of Fast-Food
The concept of fast food is
generally associated with
urban development.
However, research reveals
that the trend has its roots
in the bread-and-wine
stands in ancient Rome and
the popular ready-to-eat
noodle shops in many East
Asian cities. All through the
ancient and medieval world,
flat-bread, falafel and other
heat-and-serve meals were
popular attractions at
roadside stands.
6. Food is fuel for your body and has a
direct impact on how you feel as
well as on your overall health. Fast
food refers to food that can be
served quickly. In many cases, that
means food that is highly processed
and contains large amounts of
carbohydrates, added sugar,
unhealthy fats, and salt (sodium).
These foods generally contain a
high number of calories but offer
little or no nutritional value.
