What is FAST FOOD?By italian students and Comenius Team

What is fast food?

Fast food is food that is prepared and served quickly in restaurant

chains.

This cookery consists mainly of hamburgers, hot dogs, ribs, french

fries, pizzas, sandwiches and suggests the widespread use of a variety of sauces such as mustard,

mayonnaise and ketchup.

This recipe was brought to North America by many German

immigrants to the United States.

The name comes from the legend that the nomadic people of the Tartars,

native to central Asia, having no time to cook, put the meat under the

saddles of their horses to find it softened at the time of the meal.

Tartare steak is popular in Tsarist Russia and was very appreciated by the

sailors in Hamburg.

It is probably the ancestor of the modern hamburger

Street food…

Street food is ready-to-eat food or drink sold in a street or other public place, such as a market or fair, by a hawker or

vendor, often from a portable stall.

Food is often the same as the fast food but produced with healthier ingredients.

Panelle of Sicily

Olives of Ascoli

In Italy there are more or less 50 different kinds of street foods and they have a regional distribution.

Fast food in Italy

In Italy fast food restaurants have definitely happened,

but compared to other countries they are less common.

The first Italian McDonald's restaurant was opened October 15,1985 in Bolzano (ended July 4, 1999).In Italyabout 200 million of customers per year, about 700,000 a day are servedwith 406 restaurants.

Even in Italy, as elsewhere in the world, McDonald's restaurants are at the centre of many controversies about the quality of food distributed, the treatment of employees and also the architectural impact caused by the presence of their eye-catching sign.

MILAN

In recent years Mcdonald's has made burgers with traditional Italian ingredients. For instance Mc Italy or the more typical "Calabrese" is a sandwich stuffed with strips of peppers and salami from Calabria; Radicchio and Asiago Dop cheese, are the two ingredients that make up the "Veneto".

The new products are available in all outlets of the Italian McDonald's fast food chain.

IN ITALY: the real typical Italian foods are others

You Are How You Eat Fast Food causes impatience in

people (FIRST IN, FAST OUT) and is mainly without sharing.

Fast food and traditional food

Slow Food was founded in the city of Bra, in the province of Cuneo – Italy. Objective: promotion of the right to live the meal, and the whole world of food, primarily as a pleasure.

It Is designed as a response to the spread of fast food and the frenzy of modern life.

Typical Italian and local foods

Agricultural products, in traditional Italian products, are included in a very long list drawn up by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Forestry in collaboration with the Regions

CONCLUSIONS

Each of us is free to choose, based on personal tastes and desires.To prefer a system rather than another is a matter purely related to an individual's choice and the "style of life." 

Advice of experts:

Parents need to spend more time with their kids outdoors

Giving rules and suggestions appropriate to their age

Trying to be good role models for them (I can not tell my son not to eat fast food and then home cook always ready meals). 

Then maybe sometimes parents can go with their children to fast food.
