Fast Food Vs. Green Markets

         There are many successful fast food chains in America, and around the world. That's because almost everybody, including me, eats there. Why? Because their food is quick to obtain, affordable, and advertised everywhere. Think about it, if I were to write: "I'm lovin it", I bet you can tell me which fast food chain's slogan that is. (It was McDonald's if you actually didn't know). But if I were to ask, "where's the nearest farmer's market?", most people wouldn't be able to answer. I know I wouldn't. And that’s cause our culture doesn't really care about where they're food is from, and just that it's there. Food isn't sacred to people, it's just a commodity.

    The reason that farmers markets aren't as popular as fast food chains is because of the way people live. A lot of things at farmer markets you need to prepare yourself, while fast food you pay and your food is fried quick and served. And at fast food restaurants, the food is affordable. People now a days are always in a rush, they'll eat what's readily available. In fact the two main answers that I got when I asked, "Why did you chose Wendy's to eat?” Were that it was there and it was quick. Which shows that people aren’t going because of the food's benefits or distinctive taste, it was the easy access to the food.

     Like I said before, you'll find me at a fast food restaurant like fifty times more often then at a farmer's market, and I have no better reason then anyone else. I don't exactly like that, but that’s just the way it is. Right now I have no intention of changing that. If I were asked if a farmers market was a better source of food then a fast food chain I would agree. If I were asked which one is my source of food, the answer definitely would not be the same.
