From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Fast food (also known as Quick Service Restaurant or QSR within the industry itself) is the term given to food that can be prepared and served very quickly. While any meal with low preparation time can be considered to be fast food, typically the term refers to food sold in a restaurant or store with preheated or precooked ingredients, and served to the customer in a packaged form for take-out/take-away. The term "fast food" was recognized in a dictionary by Merriam–Webster in 1951. Outlets may be stands or kiosks, which may provide no shelter or seating, or fast food restaurants (also known as quick service restaurants). Franchise operations which are part of restaurant chains have standardized foodstuffs shipped to each restaurant from central locations.

After making the food, coming home smelling like burgers, it wasn't hard to skip eating meals at work. I would bring fruit to snack on... Maybe you need to make a break. Bring healthy snacks to nibble on when you get hungry. Make a conscious effort to not eat fast food. Make a health choice and stop drinking pop & milk shakes! Only drink water when you are working...

Q. I've noticed that my favorite fast food restaurant is patronized by all the social classes. You see everyone from down-and-out bums to executives in expensive suits. There's a junker car stuffed with a big family in the drive-through line, and right behind is a brand new sports cars with a rich-looking driver.
