Yes, occasionally. Just want a really quick meal.



No. And I don't like to eat out at restaurants in general either. I like to see what I'm eating be prepared for so I know what's in it. I'm like OCD when it comes to eating out because I don't know what's being put in my food, and plus the fact the fast food restaurants really aren't healthy and I'm an athlete I shouldn't be eating a whopper, fries and soda anyway. And as for other restaurants like Applebees, Chilis, Outback, they serve like double or more the calories you should be eating per meal anyway, and it makes people feel obligated to eat it because they're paying for it. So you end up leaving the restaurant overstuffed for like $20. I rather spend my money on other things besides fattening unhealthy food.



If by "fast-food" you mean the typical drive-thru style "restaurants" then, no.

* I don't because I don't want to contribute money to businesses like McDonalds that are a huge supplier of factory farmed meat. Even if I bought something vegan at a place like this, which would most likely be only a salad with no dressing, my money is still supporting it.

* Second, the last time I ate at a Burger King or McDonalds, etc (years ago before becoming vegetarian) I felt sick. It never made me feel "good" afterwards. It's complete trash you're putting in your body. Veganism and vegetarianism aside, have you ever watched "Super Size Me"? Have you seen the experiment with the french fries that don't decompose? That's not food. That's disgusting.

* Lastly, this economy is hitting me hard enough to the point where I don't NEED to spend $5 on something I could make cheaper, and more healthy, at home.

However, I DO on rare occasion eat at smaller chain restaurants that some people consider fast-food such as Tropical Smoothie Cafe, Jamba Juice, and Noodles & Company, etc. These are places that I have researched and found vegan meals ahead of time though, so I know that I can eat there with a friend if they'd like to go out while I'm in town or vice versa.

Not really because its unhealthy. I do not believe fast food chains help factory farming as much as people think they do. mcdonalds and other large fast food companies have set up many regulations for slaughter houses (mostly for beef) to improved them. Wendy's has helped the poultry industrial raise the birds more humanely and they will only buy cage free eggs. Because these fast food companies are so large they can greatly influence how their suppliers treat their animals. Mcdonalds works with Temple Grandin to make the methods of transporting and handling the animals much less stressful and to set up new regulations for the farms they buy from.
for example is a paragraph from farm sanctuary

http://www.farmsanctuary.org/issues/camp…

Efforts by large food industry trade groups to codify and audit specific welfare standards have been discontinued, but individual retailers have responded to pressure from consumer and animal advocacy groups. McDonald’s and Burger King, for instance, have pressed their suppliers to enact modest welfare reforms by instituting purchasing preferences for producers that do not use battery cages for egg-laying hens or gestation crates for pregnant pigs. They have also instituted audits to ensure that slaughterhouses adhere to the minimal standards set down by the American Meat Institute. However, the goals of these measures are quite modest, and they also lack transparency.



I do not eat fast food because it is very greasy, unhealthy and who knows what they cook it in and make it out of. Like McDonald's chicken nuggets aren't 100% chicken in the middle and McD's chicken nuggets are considered to be organic compared to Wendy's. Steer clear of fast food joints. They are very harmful to your health.



No I do not because most of the food that is sold at fast food restaurants is processed and not prepared in the best way. Processed foods are not healthy as they have less nutritional value and are higher in fat content. I also don't eat it because its hard to find vegetarian options at many fast food places.



I try not to, or at least I eat it as seldom as I can. I generally don't like the way fast food tastes, it's usually not very good.

But if I am on the road or in a hurry and I just don't have time for anything else, I will reluctantly eat fast food to keep from starving.



Yes I do. Probably about 4 times a month. I know its the most unhealthy slop you could put in your body, but I really enjoy it. Maybe im just addicted to it, and thats why I love it so much? I dont know, but all I know is...Psychologically i enjoy it, despite what its doing to my body.

Yes I know, not very smart...

I LOVE how i get a thumbs down. an open question was asked and so I answered it. There is no right
or wrong answer to this question. Just "holier then thou" people who are quick to look down on a person who they don't agree with.



Once in a while, but only places like chipotle or noodles where they have veg friendly options



Yes, if just chips count, but the last time I went to McDonalds or KFC or some place like that was ages ago



The only fast food I eat is Chipotle and Subway. The rest are just nasty lol.



No, because my parents don't let me, but if I could I would.



If its certified by peta to be vegg then I will :)



Yes the best ones!!!



The only fast food I'll eat is Chipotle, because they offer options I know are vegan and they have that whole "Food with Integrity" thing, which is really great. If I'm on the road and desperate, I might get a veggie sub from Subway or fries from Arby's (they use separate fryers for meat and potato products to keep the spices from mixing) but I really prefer not to. For one thing, it's just not very good for you. For another, you're never quite sure what you're eating (with a few exceptions.)



Hi, No, I don't.

I have lots of reasons why;

-I like knowing exactly what's in my food
-I feel good when I eat healthy, wholesome foods
-It's hard to find vegan fast food
-It's expensive to buy a meal rather than fresh ingredients
