Fast food- the quickest way to fill your hole of hunger. In America, fast food has become one of the most popular things. It gained its popularity by the sole fact that it is relatively cheap and fast (hence the name fast food). 

The healthiest fast-food chain in America, according to khou.com, is Chipotle. It is the healthiest option because of the low-calorie foods they have to offer. Chipotle is a Mexican grill where you can customize your own bowl or burrito. It is a trendy place amongst young teens. According to Plushcare.com, the unhealthiest fast-food chain is Five Guys. Five Guys is like any other greasy burger chain with fries and drinks. It is the most unhealthy because of the 73% saturated fat they consume in their burgers and fries. 

Now you may ask, what is the most and least popular one? Well, according to Visualcapitalist.com, the top two most popular fast-food chains in America are McDonald’s and Chick-fil-A. They are probably the most popular due to their low prices and good sandwiches. According to Pinkwhen.com, the least popular fast-food chains are Taco Bell and Burger King due to their unusual use of “mystery meat.”
