College students love fast food.
It's quick, it's easy, and to them it tastes good.
Several college students have also said that they enjoy eating some fast food but more for different reasons.
Mcdonalds, Wendy's, and Burger King have all been around since the late 1940's and the early 1950's and over the years people have all fallen in and out of love with these fast food chains.
In today's world, many people have their go to fast food resturant.
However, many want to know what is the truthful and best fast food.
Since the time they came around, the food has grown from something great into something that people want fast at a cheap price, but it isn't always the greatest for our health. Though the question that reamins is what is the "best" is there really a "best" type of fast food.
Fast food has changed and evolved since the dawn of fast food chains. From walk up to the counter to a freshly made in fifteen minutes with ground beef, fresh lettuce, tomatoes, and other toppings to five minutes and pull around to the drive through window has truly made a difference in how many see the food.
We took a survey of a handful of college students and people who are no longer in college on how they feel when it comes to the different fast food chains and why they like each one to figure out what is the best fast food.
