The meal which is prepared in just a
short period or the meal which can be prepared urgently in very short time is
called fast food. Fast food is very
popular these days especially in the young generation. This fast food is
enjoyed all over the world by billions of people daily. The concept of fast
food or precooked food available to sell is very ancient this was first
introduced by the nomads of ancient Rome who used to sell cooked sausages and
bread with wine in the streets of the urban developed city. Fast food is eaten
all over the world but yet it is eaten more in Europe, Britain, America and
other similar countries.
There are also many popular fast food
restaurants in these countries. These restaurants were first established in
these countries and after their popularity the owners begin to expand their
business oversees and thus food chains of such restaurants were made. These
restaurants KFC, McDonalds, AFC, Subway etc all of these restaurants have now
developed their chains of restaurants in Pakistan. In these restaurants all the
type of fast food is available. Most popular fast food among the teenagers of
this century is Pizza, Burgers, Garlic bread, Garlic cheese bread, Shwarmas,
Ice creams, nuggets, fried chicken, rolls, mashed potatoes, salads etc. These
all fast foods are now available in Pakistan.
The popularity of fast foods had
increased so much that now almost all the filling stations, gas pumps, petrol
pumps have one fast food restaurants so that the passengers can eat food from
there. When one hears fast foods then he/she usually recalls traditional
hamburgers, fries etc but nowadays cooks include readily prepared foods such as
sushi fish etc some Chinese and Japanese food in this category of fast food by
the meaning that food prepared instantly is fast food.
Many people join this field of fast
food as a profession by becoming cooks and this business is becoming very popular
in several countries. In these countries this business is very popular and
billions and millions of dollars spend on this business every year, like
according to a survey conducted in USA 110billion US dollars are spent on fast
food every year and this amount is increasing year by year. There are many restaurant
associations in these countries which control the quality and healthiness of
food cooked in the restaurants of these countries.
This field is also a great medium of
job for many people particularly in the above mentioned countries for example
in USA after conducting a survey people came to know that 2.7 million people
are related to this field of profession which is the 14% of the total
population of the USA. Fast food is also under criticism. This criticism is due
the fats present in them. The people are worried mainly about their kids that
by eating this unhealthy high fat food their kids can be overweighed and thus
can suffer from dangerous diseases.
