The fast food industry is one of the biggest industries in the world, bringing in billions upon billions of dollars a year. What makes them so great is their ability to make good tasting food very quickly for very little money. To do this though they did have to some sacrifices like food quality and more importantly animal rights. In McDonald's for example they have been known to not give any regard to how they treat their animals. For example what they do to their chickens are absolutely horrible. When they raise their chickens they put thousands and thousands of them into blacked out coops. The chickens have no space to move at all and because of that they are never able to walk correctly. The conditions in the coops are also very poor. The chickens are walking on their own feces and other dead chickens. The odor in these coops is so strong that the farmers have to wear special masks so that they can breathe. The chickens are breathing in that vile aroma all of their lives, which is horrible for their health. The farmers are also required to put growth hormone into their food so that the chickens have abnormally large breasts. Their breasts often grow so big that their legs can't support their weight, so they take a few steps and then drop to the ground. McDonald's treats their animals like they are nothing and I'm very opposed to it. There are much more humane ways that they could get their food, but they always choose the cheap, most profitable way. I feel that it should be illegal to treat animals this way. They also have emotions and can feel pain just like we do. It's horrible that this is not the only animal that they treat this way. McDonald's treats every animal from cows to pigs as if they were garbage. Other fast food restaurants have been known to do the same thing and it needs to stop as soon as possible.

Fast food really is so desirable these days. Quick, easy, and fast! But I've noticed recently that the majority of meals really aren't that cheap anymore. Meals for a family of four almost always exceeds twenty dollars. This leads me to believe that fast food popularity really just stems from the laziness of people. Fresh stir fried vegetables and chicken for a family of four would be the same (if not less) than going through the drive thru!
