Compare and contrast fast food and real restaurants.
[RM] Fast food is tasty and poor quality cheap food, although fast food restaurants are not as cheaper as people think, because the portions are really small. Real restaurants are less convenient when you are in a hurry, but usually have better food and a wide range of dishes.
What is your least favorite fast food restaurant and why?
[RM] It is difficult to say, because they all are quite similar. I do not have any bad memories of any of them.
How often do you eat fast food? What do you usually eat?
[RM] It depends on the work. If I am in a hurry and I am near a fast food restaurant, probably I finish eating there to save time. I usually eat in fast food restaurants like McDonalds or Burger-King, their hamburgers are poison, but it is true that also are tasty.
Which fast food is the most unhealthy? Why do you think so?
[RM] I think the most unhealthy fast food is related processed meat. Exist fast food restaurants that have vegetables sandwich, which are an option more healthy than burgers, for example.
Are there any healthy fast foods? What are they?
[RM] As I said before, there are better options, but in any case, all of fast food restaurants that I know, could be cheap and convenient, but not healthy at all.
