Cause and Effect on Fast Food Popularity bibliography

Bhaskar, Rajveer, et al. Junk Food: Impact on Health. LAP Lambert Academic Publishing, 2012.

The term “junk food” refers to any type of meal that is quick to make and even quicker to eat.

Michael Jacobson first popularized the term “junk food” in 1972. This term refers to foods that

have little to no nutritional value. Unhealthy food that is sweetened with high fructose corn syrup

(High fat, sugar, or salt). A few examples of the junk food that can be ordered in restaurants

include pizza, cold beverages, sandwiches, and burgers The proliferation of fast-food restaurants

and restaurant chains can be attributed to the widespread enjoyment of eating this type of cuisine

around the world. Canada, The United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, Sweden, and Australia

are among the countries that consume the most fast food worldwide. Other countries include

Japan and Australia. As a result, there is a growth in people’s experiences with fast-food

restaurants, and the popularity of fast-food restaurants

Thompson, Tamara. Fast Food. Greenhaven Publishing LLC, 2015.

Few things are more quintessentially American than a fast-food meal. The fast-food industry grew

from a few start-up burger joints serving southern California’s car culture and riding the

construction of the interstate highway system in the 1950s to fill a niche unlike any other in

American history. According to Statista, a web-based statistics organization that services a variety

of industries, Americans spent around $6 billion on fast food in 1970; fast-food sales were

estimated to be more than $195 billion in 2014. However, just as much as American culture drove

the desire for fast food, it has also impacted the culture. Fast food is the literal lynchpin of the

industrial food system in the United States, and increasingly, the global food system. Fast food

restaurants now occupy the top of the proverbial food pyramid, influencing everything that

happens below them, either directly or indirectly. The authors of At Issue: Fast Food examines a

wide range of perspectives on the health, environmental, social, and economic effects of fast food,

both in the United States and elsewhere, as this uniquely American creation is exported around

the world.

KFC and McDonald's fast-food restaurants spread across the globe at an alarming rate. The

proliferation of fast-food restaurants and the consumption of fast food has numerous

consequences. KFC in Thailand, for example, has a distinct flavor that isn't available elsewhere.

Popularity can be attributed to features like quick service, a convenient location, as well as a place

to have fun and be entertained. Customers can also order food to be delivered for free from their

favorite restaurants by calling ahead and placing their orders. Additionally, fast food has some

detrimental health effects. Refined sugars but also fats make up the majority of the calories in fast

food. Consumption may increase because it contains a lot of salt and other additives. Finally, fast-

food restaurants are in demand because of modern people's hectic lifestyles, high-quality food,

and the ability to get a table quickly. In addition to its widespread appeal, fast food has negative

consequences on human health. Health risks may be reduced by cutting back on fast food

consumption and increasing the number of fresh fruits and vegetables consumed.
