Global domination by fast food

Even France, which for a long time (or so I read) resisted the tide of fast food, is starting to give in to it. Cheap, efficient, homogeneous, unhealthy cuisine is coming to dominate many countries, resulting in lots of obesity and stuff. From the article:
quote:
The average French meal has decreased in length from an hour and 22 minutes in 1978 to just 38 minutes today.

Thoughts on this trend? Do you make a point of having leisurely and home-cooked meals? Or have you too given in to the tide of McDonald's?

when i am at work i typically take a short lunch and then browse the record store or something before getting back to my workstation. so probably something like 15-30 min.

when i cook dinner it is usually an epic process that takes anywhere from 1.5-3 hours depending how many courses there are, the prep work involved, and how i eat them (if i cook everything first or if i cook then eat, then cook, then eat again) i generally don't cook unless it's going to be an epic meal with leftovers i can use for a few days

i rarely eat fast food (except on lunch, and usually ill just get like a falafel or a slice of pizza). when i go out to eat it usually takes 1-2 hours depending on the conversation/company and the size of the meal.

you might as well eat plastic if your choice of food is fast for the nutritional value of them tings yo?

the only thing that comes to mind is that 2 year old macdonalds burger this woman had and you know what? it looked exactly like a fresh one, no mould or anything, like it was frozen in time or something...now imagine that in yo guts yo?

I never eat at McDonalds or similar "restaurants" since the food there isn't really sufficient for me and its complete junk. I would rather go to a more expensive restaurant than going to McDonalds.

While adult obesity is rising about 6 percent annually, among children the national rate of growth is 17 percent. At that rate, the French could be - quelle horreur - as fat as Americans by 2020. (More than 65 percent of the population in the United States is considered overweight or obese.)

LOL at all the countries who for years made fun of US obesity. Soon we will all be brothers and sisters in fat!

Assuming three meals per day, the French are saving 132 minutes per day, or about 803 hours per year. That's nearly 10% more time to spend on other things per year. Unless they're reducing their lifespan by more than 10%, they may actually be coming out ahead.

Of course, they could probable save even more time whilst having fewer health problems if they just ate less, but if they're too stupid to do so then they're getting exactly what they deserve.

sometimes i'll rush through breakfast and lunch, but i always make sure to have a home-cooked meal while sitting at the dinner table every night.

I consider cooking a complete waste of my life and try and minimise it as much as possible. The time spent preparing and then frying a pan of chicken is a weighty investment to me.

I think it's unfair to blame fast food for all of it.

The problem is far from being just the consumption of huge amounts of tasty junk fodder, but rather the whole environment in which this happens. How are you supposed to stay in shape when work hours are brutal, you've got little or no time to exercise, and you're under stress for hours on end?

Mama said eat healthy and sleep tight, and your body will be all right.

Edit: This, however, is what my ideal restaurant is like
