Franchises Discover Cure for Anorexia
Fast Food and Obesity
Yes, it’s true. The franchising industry has discovered a cure for anorexia. It’s called fast food.
Like many highly acclaimed breakthroughs, this one comes with an array of side effects, the main one being OBESITY.
Zagat has just published their survey of full service and fast food franchises and, like many surveys this one is quite interesting.
The 6,518 respondents ate at a franchise outlet an average of 10.7 times a month and rated their experience:
Best Fast Food Burger: Five Guys Burgers and Fries
Best Full Service Burger: Red Robin: Gourment Burgers
Best Quick Service Coffee: StarbucksBest Fast Service Coffee: IHOP
Best Quick Service Salad: Panera Bread
Best Full Service Salad: The Cheescake Factory
Best Fast Food Value: McDonalds
Best Full Service Value: Olive Garden
Comments from some of the respodents were really funny. Here is a selection:
The BP of food.
They fry harder.
Loved it when I was in high school, but I was going through my stoner phase.
I think this is where I developed a fear of clowns.
Ordinary is still the unattainable goal here.
Great cost-cutting strategy: use same material for pizza and boxes. Just because it’s “all beef” doesn’t mean it’s any part of the cow you’d consciously eat.
Serves rubber balls and calls them lobster.
Should serve intestinal medicine as an amuse-bouche.
Voted “Most Popular” by the American Cardiology Association.
If they could, they’d deep-fry the menus.
57 flavors, all of which more or less taste like plastic.
What part of the chicken was that exactly?
If you have a taste bud, move on. Amazing how one can pile so many ingredients together and still come up flavor-free.
I go there to practice ice skating in the grease on the floor.
Steaks cut from a boxing kangaroo that lost the fight.
I’m still confused about what that sausage is and what animal it came from.
Fries should be served with heart paddles.
The restaurant version of the movie Deliverance.
You shouldn’t even try to eat here if you don’t live in a trailer.
Most of the food is soft because so few of the customers have any teeth left.
Drunks everywhere would be lost without it.
Do they actually teach people how to ruin chicken and potatoes or is this learned on the job?
They improved it into low-grade dog food; god only knows what it was before.
Testimony to the fact that there’s a sucker born every minute, and also one exiting a freeway.
This place is still stuck in the 1980s – and it sucked in the 1980s.
Hangovers are the only reason this stuff is remotely edible.
The chances of your waiter being in jail recently are extremely high.
Rubbery tortillas designed for tensile strength alone.
Enough blubber in every bite to store up for a polar winter.
If it’s this or eating your shoe…well… I’d think about it…
I had an appendectomy the day after I visited – coincidence?
Our fast food is certainly to blame for the alarming obesity rates but what is the answer?

That picture is too much! LOL. It is true though the fast food franchise world has really helped in the fight against Anorexia however, it has helped with the cration of really high obesity numbers in the United States. I can’t complain though because as a person with a career in the fitness franchise world the fast-food franchise boom probably helped in the devlopment of the fitness industry.
