In defense of "fast food", I say it has possibly contributed more to individual and corporate productivity (think energy food), and saved more people from starvation than anything else. (Not really.) It has also been the subject of more office planning (early morning, that is) than any other key activity of the business day. I know this from experience in dozens of offices where I worked. Tag: "What's for lunch??"
When my wife and I had young children to feed, we had a favorite activity and fun family tradition called the "coupon drive". We collected fast-food coupons, then drove around town ordering, dividing, and eating one or two of a single item at each drive-thru. The workers often felt sorry for us buying so little to feed the six or seven of us. After about eight stops, we were stuffed! This enduring tradition would not be possible without fast food. Our youngest actually wrote a report on it for school (using fast-food language, of course). Since then, the words "coupon drive" always bring back fond memories. I can hardly wait for the next one!
May you enjoy the drive, however you do it.
And a little healthy fast food.
