With fast food and the wages they pay and how bad it is, the economy keeps dying. What I mean by economy is the people who eat fast food. What I mean by dying is people getting obese. Let me explain. Let’s start with the low paying wages. Low paying wages in fast food restaurants is kind of BS in my opinion. I feel like fast food workers should get their 15$ they ask for. Especially since all the named company’s (McDonald’s, Burger King, Wendy’s, KFC, Taco Bell etc.) make enough to pay their workers. these are some for what top companies who make fortunes on their businesses and they don’t have an extra couple dollars to pay their workers? Come on now, that’s BS. These workers work their ass off to get people their food, try to get their order right and in a fashionably manor. They also have to deal with customers who always have a problem with something and have to restrain themselves from saying anything back. They really do work hard and a lot of people have families to support so they try to work a double job and this is more then likely their double job so that they can provide for their family.
Next, let’s talk about how bad the economy is falling due to this fast food. Aside from the low wage pay, fast food is nutritionally bad for you. I know I just got done ranting about how the workers don’t make enough but they have to find a job somewhere and pay their bills so this is not their fault for making the food. As said before, the food is bad for you. A lot of people eat there for breakfast lunch and dinner because it’s quick, easy and tasty. I admit the food at places like these are pretty good but it’s something I can’t eat all the time 24/7. I get disgusted just trying to eat the same place once a day for two days. I can’t even really eat left overs because I don’t like the taste a second time I have to have a newly cooked meal. If I had to say I would eat out 3 times a week, which to me is pretty reasonable. I don’t understand how people can eat out all the time and be okay with it. Many people are obese due to over eating or eating fast food. It’s not a good diet at all and I don’t recommend it. I would recommend people watch super size me 1 and 2. It shows a man who is seen eating McDonald’s 24/7 for breakfast, lunch and dinner even as a snack sometimes for a month. He test himself to see how much he can eat, how much weight he gains and much more. I don’t know how people can do it, it poisons your body. Please understand that I do say it’s okay to eat fast food once in a while but not every day for life.
