All the recent discussion about fast-food employment,
wages
and benefits
has a lot of Americans asking one collective question: Who cares? Well, you do. According
to Gallup, 80% of you eat fast food at least once a month. There's very little disparity in how all of that grease-fried food is consumed, either. Often associated with low income or poverty, fast food is consumed more heavily by those making more than $75,000 a year (51% report eating it at least once a week) than by those making between $20,000 and $30,000 a year (42%) or less than $20,000 (39%).
It's clearly a young person's game, however, as 57% of those aged 18 to 29 say they hit the counter or drive-through at least once a week. That drops to 47% for those aged 30 to 49, 44% for those aged 50 to 64 and to 41% among those aged 65 and older.
here isn't a whole lot of difference between how various races visit McDonald's (MCD), Burger King (BKW), Wendy's (WEN) and elsewhere, either. Fifty-two percent of blacks and 53% of Hispanics eat fast food at least weekly, while 46% of whites do the same.
All the groups feel just as badly about their meal afterward. A full 73% of those who go for fast food weekly told Gallup they think it's not too good for them or not good at all. That still trails the 81% of people who don't eat fast-food who believe the same. But at least there's a sizable degree of self-awareness.
So how healthy is fast food? Researchers and health professionals have long been aware of the consequences associated with eating fast food. After eatinga 12-hour fast and again two and four hours after finishing each meal. The results were not pretty! The researchers collected their data by measuring the men’s endothelial function -- the ability of the blood vessels to dilatethe men’s arteries dilated 24 percent less than when the subjects were in a fasted state.

Here is the food list given to the men's: fast food sausage, egg and cheese sandwich.
