Fast food is here to stay as part of our culture and economy. We choose to eat on the run and vote for fast food with our pocketbooks to the tune of billions of dollars a year. Fast Food Survival Guide examines the role of fast food in society and shows that even though you might not want to become its best friend, you can learn to live with it. Why is fast food a multi-billion dollar a year giant that competes with groceries and home cooking? Should fast food be taxed like cigarettes and the money used to pay for obesity-related expenses to society? Does fast food have to be fat food? Why not franchises like "asparagus on the run" or "veggie fast feast"? Can you eat fast food without turning into a poster child for Blimps-Are-Us? Who wants to go to McDonald's and order carrot sticks and fat free milk? How can you eat healthy at fast food restaurants? Why fast food will remain a major presence in our culture and how to integrate its tempting offering into a healthy eating plan. What excesses of fast foods are best avoided on a regular basis? What should you know about "super-sizing" and "portion bloat?"
