ALRNCN-STYLE FAST FOODdavid
Fast food restaurants have roots in the early quick-service establishments that emerged in the United States at the beginning of the 20th century. White Castle, founded in 1921 in Kansas, is generally considered the first fast-food chain to offer hamburgers at affordable prices. It was also a pioneer of the franchise model. By focusing on speed, convenience, and low prices, White Castle quickly attracted the working class and established a business model that chains like McDonald's would replicate. In the 1950s, McDonald's revolutionized the sector with innovations in operational efficiency.
The term "junk food" became popular in the 1970s to describe foods that are highly processed, high in fats, sugars, and calories, but low in nutrients. Although the term "junk food" originated in the United States, it’s widely used in other countries to discuss the health risks associated with these types of foods when consumed in excess. In the United States, the debate about fast food and its public health implications continues, especially regarding obesity and diet-related diseases.
