Fast Food Frenzy

Fast Food Frenzy
A dependence on fast food is not new. Thousands of years ago ancient Roman cities had bread and olive stands, and five hundred years ago, Spaniards encountered tacos in the marketplace of today’s Mexico. In this country, in the 1900s, train travelers ate quick meals from the dining car. Then, “drive-in” restaurants developed in the 1950s, which evolved into the “drive-through” window of today.
Sometimes stopping at a “fast food” restaurant seems like the only option. Perhaps your whole group of friends is headed that way and you don’t want to miss out, the kids are begging mom and dad to make a stop, or you just feel there is no time for any other option. When these occasions arise, we must make the most of them.
