Fast－food Culture
快餐文化
如今社会生活的节奏加快，随着网络的进一步发展，快餐文化进入了疯狂的时代，这慢慢演变成为一种时尚，冲击着传统文化。所谓快餐只凸显“快”，但是缺乏营养，多吃无益。文化快餐同样存在此类缺陷，既缺乏内涵，也不可能体现和代表主流，多吃也会无益。处于现代快节奏社会里，快餐文化在部分满足了人们追求精神文化需求的同时，也带来了其负面影响。

1快餐文化的成因及其弊端
Unless you’re in a particularly remote area， you can’t go far in most develo？ped countries without finding a fast－food restaurant。 You also can’t go far without seeing cars， even if most of those cars are taxis。 Much of the time， fast－food restaurants and cars seem to be everywhere。 This is really no coincidence—without cars， we wouldn’t have fast food。 The fast food phenomenon evolved from drive－in restaurants built in southern California in the early 1940s。 Richard and Maurice McDonald owned such a restaurant。
Fast food as a new thing becomes more popular everywhere， the main reason is that fast food is convenient for people working and living， especially popular in young people， for their fast living speed。
Fast food （also known as Quick Service Restaurant or QSR within the industry itself） is the term given to food that can be prepared and served very quickly。 While any meal with low preparation time can be considered to be fast food， typically the term refers to food sold in a restaurant or store with preheated or precooked ingredients， and served to the customer in a packaged form for take－out／take－away。
According to the Massachusetts Medical Society Committee on Nutrition， fast food is especially high in fat content， and studies have found associations between fast food intake and increased body mass index （BMI） and weight gain。 A 2006 study fed monkeys a diet consisting of a similar level of trans fats as what a person who ate fast food regularly would consume。 Both diets contained the same overall number of calories。 It was found that the monkeys who consumed higher level of trans fat developed more abdominal fat than those fed a diet rich in unsaturated fats。 They also developed signs of insulin resistance， which is an early indicator of diabetes。 After six years on the diet， the trans fat fed monkeys had gained 7。2％ of their body weight， compared to just 1。8％ in the unsaturated fat group。

快餐具有大众化、节时、方便的优点。如今快餐已成为一种普遍的生活方式，并因此出现了“快餐文化”和“速食主义”。但是快餐往往高油脂、高盐分、高糖分，含大量调味料，属低纤维的食物，含较多的人工添加剂，所以过多食用对身体有弊无利。近年来，不少人开始反思快餐弊端，希望回归“绿色”、健康的饮食方式。一场相对快餐的“慢餐运动”逐渐兴起。
