Ah, fast food. Can’t live with it but sure as hell can’t live without it. It’s the easy things in life that make us so succesful as a species.
Now, you might be wondering: how much fast food do we stuff down our throats each day? That’s a tough one. A lot, that’s all I’m saying. To illustrate that, just imagine that the top-10 of fast food chains in the US raked up a total of no less than $112bn in sales. That’s 112 with 9 zeroes. That’s 3,733,333 cars at $30,000 each! It is also more than $350 per US citizen per year, spent on fries and burgers. Truly impressive!
