Most students at Morton East High School consume McDonald’s the most, other than any other fast food restaurant.

In a random sample of 100 Morton East students, 46 students reported that they consume McDonald’s more than any other fast food restaurant such as canes, Chick-fil-A, Wendy’s, and Popeyes. This is almost half of the sample! In addition, 37% of U.S. Adults Consume Fast Food Every Day. It is a fast and easy way to feed the stomach when working, or in general many of us sometimes just want to munch on fries! Fast food restaurants are so known because of how many they are in the US. Furthermore, One-Third of Children Eat Fast Food on a Daily Basis. Although luckily, 30% of Fast Food Restaurants are Offering Healthier Items on Kids’ Menus. In addition, 12% lower in Calories than it was in 2013 for all their foods! Is it crazy that 3,450,120 People worked in the Fast Food Industry in 2020 even when covid first started!

“I consume McDonald’s the most because it is cheaper, I roughly waste about $10 dollars with a good meal and a drink,” senior Andrea Virto said.

Not only is it cheaper, but some people like the taste of the food!

“The caramel frap tastes so good! Better than Starbucks and Dunkin. I save myself a few dollars too,” Senior Andrea Virto said.

Although, some athletes may wonder how harmful fast food restaurants are, and they decide not to consume them as often.

“I feel like fast food restaurants, in general, are so popular because they’re obviously easy cheap and easy to get. I personally only get it as a treat for myself once every two weeks,” Mustang varsity basketball player Kemberlee Moreno said.
