I went to Whataburger today for lunch. I had a Jr. Chop house cheeseburger, and it was quite tasty, and I feel good about myself.
How Many Times a Week do You Eat Fast Food?

I'm too old to eat fast food, at least fast food prepared by some outlet. I still eat Hebrew National all beef hotdogs, prepared at home, thats about as fast as I get.
There is more than enough calories in one fast food hamburger than most people need to eat in one full day, if you throw in fries and a soft drink it is no wonder Americans are fat.
My wife gets all kinds of upset when she sees adds for fast food in the evening or even late at night, they know that people will get up and go get something to eat just by mere suggestion.
I'll never forget one of the first things my son said when he got back in country after a week in England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales. He said "I knew I was back in America when I got in the airline terminal and saw all the fat people." I asked him if he didn't see any fat people on his trip, he said "Sure you see the odd fat person but not here, everybody is fat...its the thin people that stand out."

Does the cafeteria at work count as "fast food?"
I eat lunch there every duty day, more because I want to get out of the office for half an hour than for the food.

I like Habit Burger. I think they are a quickly growing chain. Their burgers are delicious and I love their tempura green beans. So yummy!!! They have good salads and other healthy options like sushi grade tuna and chicken and even pastrami sandwiches. They are a very different fast food joint that has fresh quality ingredients, not highly processed, and at cheaper prices than the big chains like McD's. The food tastes great. I've never been disappointed.

In the last several years there has been an emerging trend of "healthier" fast food places that serve quality minimally processed ingredients. While this is still fast food, you can find healthy options and it is okay to eat. Before I knew of the politics behind Chipotle I used to go there quite often for lunch or when I was too tired to cook dinner after my 10-12 hour work days and just got a salad with chicken, salsa and sometimes guacamole. I'd skip the dressing. Nothing bad in that.
