Fast food come a long way since its creation, although people are know concerned of the effect it has on their health.People started to open up markets with pure food, food that has been grown without pesticides or animals that were able to roam on their own. At the Greenmarket we asked a merchant who sells beef the difference between his meat and a burger found at McDonald's. He told us the main difference is the way the steer was raised, the McDonald's farm the animals are kept in small areas and are feed a high calorie diet's to ensure they stay fat. The animals meat at the market lives outside and is feed grass, which in most cases is there natural diet. After the McDonald animal is slaughtered they mix the meat with many chemicals for flavor and soy to keep the meat moist at consumption.
The Greenmarket somewhat takes people back to the age pre-supermarket, where to buy a different product you have to go to the other shops. Even so the Greenmarket has adapted slightly to the supermarket idea where products are located in one area.
Fast foods success has derived from the prices, that are very convenient to teens and adults on a budget. Most of there food is altered to taste good, chemicals are added to coverup the other none beef and none chicken ingredients. Above all the food is fast, an entire meal to fill an individual ready to eat in 1-2.5 minutes. The atmosphere at these chains have also been changed, the companies wanted an age friendly environment, no more Ronald McDonald statues or loud colors. A growing and continuing problem with fast food is the health side effects that come, they have been complying with all the new rule, there is no more trans fast, a reduction in salt use, even the menu has alterations made. Salads have an entire menu board, smoothies are now on the menu, they have milk and juice. Fast food restaurants can offer a changing what society wants at a low price.
