  1. Fast food versus quality food by a nature Trail.
  2. Do you care about the quality of food you eat? The answer is probably yes.
  3. Do you like eating fast food? The answer is probably also yes.
  4. Although these answers are opposite, many people would still choose both
  5. as prices increase for organic foods.
  6. New ways of keeping foods from going bad for a longer period of time are developed.
  7. When we go to the grocery store,
  8. the ingredients labels continue to get longer with names.
  9. We can't pronounce,
  10. we met time and time again with foods that
  11. will keep you from going hungry and taste good.
  12. Therefore, throughout the years, the question only gets hard.
  13. So what would you truly pick fast food or quality food?
  14. Fast food restaurants have been a popular source of food,
  15. not only in the United States,
  16. but throughout the world for teenagers and young adults,
  17. it has been found to be a place used to socialize with others.
  18. In addition,
  19. many fast food restaurants are nearby and don't require a lot of time
  20. which reduces the stress people may feel when going to a normal restaurant.
  21. Lastly,
  22. the factor that dries many tea frequently at fast food restaurants is how
  23. inexpensive it is to get a meal that will satisfy a person's hunger.
  24. In conclusion,
  25. the convenience and inexpensiveness that is found in fast food restaurants
  26. are the main reasons that lead people to go there.
  27. In my proposed research,
  28. I will answer the question of fast food versus quality food.
  29. I will answer the question by designing a 5 to 10 item survey.
  30. My survey will be administered to at least 10 participants.
  31. The participants survey responses will be analyzed with
  32. descriptive statistic predominantly frequency and contingency analysis.
  33. Starting off with the question of whether
  34. participants prefer quality food or fast food.
  35. 83.3% of the participants picked quality food and only 16.7% preferred fast food.
  36. Some of the reasons they preferred quality food
  37. was because they stated it tastes better.
  38. They felt it was healthier, better seasoning.
  39. They knew what ingredients were in the food, they felt better after eating it
  40. and it was cooked better.
  41. Next,
  42. I asked the participants how often they ate fast
  43. food in the past month and found that nobody said
  44. they had not eaten fast food in the past month
  45. despite the majority choosing quality food over fast food.
  46. In addition,
  47. I wondered if people ate fast food more frequently when they were younger than 16.
  48. I found from the data that both questioned the majority of the participants
  49. said they ate fast food three times or less in a month.
  50. I also wondered if the proximity had anything to
  51. do with how often a person consumed fast food.
  52. So I asked the participants if they live
  53. three miles or less from a fast food restaurant
  54. and they all said yes.
  55. Lastly, I asked if they knew how to cook, 75% said yes and 25% said no.
  56. Despite most participants choosing quality food or fast food,
  57. I still noticed in the data that it was very common for them to consume fast food.
  58. In conclusion,
  59. fast food is not going anywhere but quality food continues to become
  60. less accessible to thousands causing many to turn to fast food.
