Do you eat fast food?

[dinopasta1]

I would like to say that I don't eat fast food, but I do maybe once or twice a week. Here are my thoughts:

I think fast food is gross. The restaurants themselves, the nutrition facts, the grease, some of the people that prepare the food, the bathrooms, the messy drink stations, the tables with crumbs and dried ketchup all over them, the whole experience. I keep coming back because sometimes it is so freaking good, and I definitely don't 'cook' so it is a big convenience.

What do you think?

I have been missing out on this whole crumbs and dried ketchup experience. sounds like fun.

I adore fast food....but eat it very infrequently....as it's not good for me and will make me fat. But when I do cave in.....let it be known....I love every minute of it.

I just finished a Wendy's cheeseburger and fries........so, no I do not

[dontmakeanyfuss]

only wendys. and sometimes chik fil a. chik fil a is by far the cleanest of fast food i have every witnessed..but it's just so hard to pass up a burger from wendys! i eat fast food probably 2-3 a month. it's not as convinent for me because i go to school in the middle of no where and walking 5 miles to get fast food defeats the whole purpose of fast food

I have a group of friends who LOVE taco bell...so once in like every 4 or 5 months...I will get that with them. B/c they are at least vegetarian friendly in their grossness. haha. Also, I really like Subway...but idk if a vegetable pattie with lots of veggies on whole wheat bread counts as fast food...

KFC!!!!

Maybe like twice a year I'll eat a little Mcdonalds.
A ten piece nugget meal with a double cheese burger.
Though if I am in LA I will definitely have a double double
with cheese and onions at In and Out burger.

No fast food on Zorcon V?
Hmmm.....I thought they'd have fast food muskrats....

In moderation. McDonald's fries just cannot be beat.

Not nearly as much as I did in college, ya know, being poor and drunk = ingredients for eating fast food.

^ me right now. So, yeah.
I wish we had chick fil a out here. No chipotle, either (never had either, but I have heard great things about both). But, maybe tomorrow I'll make a trip to in-n-out.

As a rule, I do not. I enjoy eating nutritiously, which doesn't always mean avoiding
fatty, greasy foods... but it does mean eating for nurtrients. Most fast food is
pretty lacking in that department.

However, probs about once or twice a year, I go for it. I have to make sure I don't
think too much about the realities behind what I'm eating, and sometimes that means
swallowing faster than I chew (), but in moderation, it can be pretty pleasing. Heh.

(Incidentally, choosing the restaurant becomes a pretty significant decision, then, and,
even moreso, which menu item... I get really upset when I pick the wrong place or
my order isn't made well in that circumstance. Haha.)

I wasn't actually considering Chipotle "fast food," although, by definition, I
suppose it is.

I fully endorse eating at Chipotle, and do it often! Not only is their food
nutritious (note my distinction between nutritious and "healthy"), but I also
fully support their practices as a business.

lol.

I wish I didn't just watch that.

Don't really need that association wrecking my experiences
at Chipotle here on out.

Before 2006, all the time.

After 2006, about once a year out of complete necessity only.

no fries are as good as McDonald's fries. I have one down the street but I try to only go once in a while. it's a 24 hour one too. McNuggets and fries are really good sometimes though.

Chick-fil-a is awesome, though I haven't ever seen one around here so its been a while.

[SoAlive11]

I love me some Steak n Shake. I have found it's a Midwest thing. A band from Philly stayed with me once and they'd never heard of it,so I had to take them. Good stuff.
No Chic-fil-a here. No In and Out Burger. I have heard of such places but never been.

I always try to stop at White Castle when I go to St Louis since it's the closest one. 2 1/2 hrs away
