How often do you eat fast-food?

[Kaytiee]

I'm quite intrigued because growing up, we got fast food maybe twice a year? and it would usually be because of airport trips as a treat for the journey.

When I got older and went to friend's houses most of them had a takeaway a week or more, maybe every two weeks at LEAST it was a completely new world to me.

My family wasn't on a diet or anything, we just never ate many takeaways, So growing up and going to college really surprised me with how much fast food is eaten, during lunch breaks, for breakfast, at home, etc.

Once a week

Twice or more a week

1-2 Times a Month

3+ a Month

2-3 Every 6 months

Once to Twice a year

Never, or Other amount (please specify)

Once every two weeks here in South Korea because I f*ckin' HATE Korean food! It's so goddamn nasty and disgusting to me! I can only stomach bulgogi (gravy beef), donkas (fried pork chops), and gimbap (fishless sushi). The rest I won't touch. I didn't come here for the food, though.

Burger King, KFC, Pizza Hut, and SUBWAY are the only fast food chains here that don't suck. They do have a local burger chain here called Lotteria, but it's horrendously bad. Way worse than even Burger King back in the US. The Burger Kings here are actually better than American Burger Kings. It's like a 5 out of 10 here, as opposed to a 2 out of 10 back in the US.

So I only east fast food here because Korean food is horrendously awful, in my opinion. But back in the US, I legit only ate fast food like once every 3-4 months. I used to be able to get fresh deli hoagies and sandwiches, or make things like fried chicken, at home.

But Korea not only has tiny-ass kitchens with no ovens (although the new place I'm at now has a decent kitchen god enough for cooking), but you can't buy stuff like that here. The grocery stores don't offer as many meat options as America does. I do own an air fryer though and I can make things like fried chicken in that, but it's harder to find decent food worthy putting in it.

In short, I eat fast food more often here in South Korea because I think Korean food sucks. But in the US, I rarely ever ate fast food. I voted option C.

Two or three times a week.

I have one thing, but I divide it into three days, so it's like that.

Do you reheat? Be careful with reheating Asian food, and I can't imagine reheated fast food tastes that good.

[TheUniqueOne96]

Nah, I don't reheat it. I have some takeaway meat, put it in a burger bun with some homemade fries and eat it like that.

[TheUniqueOne96]

I buy a tray of the meat.

[XXblack88]

Usely 1 or 2 times a month. It doesn't take long for fast food to get old. I used to eat fast food almost everyday as a teen.

Thanks for the mho

[purplepoppy]

Too much. I spend a lot of time down the coast and you just end up eating fast food like it's compulsory.

[Kaytiee]

I get that, when we go on holiday or to Cornwall we eat a lot of fish and chips because its seen as 'you have to! you're at the beach'. Most British thing ever, and tbh they aren't even that good.

[exitseven]

Hardly ever. Just 1 or 2 times a year. We usually eat at a local restaurant or get takeout from there sometimes too. They make awesome fish and chips.

I prefer to cook my own meals because in know how clean I am and what's going into it

[jjj101010]

Depends on what is happening. Can be once a week. Sometimes I can go for a few weeks

[jjj101010]

What is ur go to fast food?

[KrakenAttackin]

As little as possible, but I did kill a couple of Quick Trip roller dogs a few nights ago.

[Ms_Facesitter]

Usually once. Could be twice.

[Blackcupcake]

maybe a couple of times a month...

[douride2]

Once or twice a year at the most.

[Guardian45]

TOO OFTEN! Once a week.

[mVCyberduVm]

Rarely, I try to avoid it.

[smahala1991]

Do you consider casual dining fast food?

[Kaytiee]

No, as it's usually 'proper' food, the fast is removed. It may still be unhealthy, but I wouldn't consider it as low tier like mcdonalds. I'd still consider tgi fridays fast food, I went there and it was terrible I don't understand why americans love it so much.

[Socal99]

Never
