FAST FOOD IN THE 90s Mc Donald was born in 1985 but in the 90s it developed a lot. In this type of restaurants you can eat sandwiches, hot-dogs, fried chips and you drink coke; you eat all types of food that is fast to prepare. The guys like it a lot because it isn`t very expensive and you eat several different things. This type of nutrition isn`t very healthy since it has saturated fat, sugar, salt and calories and it is completely opposite to the traditional Italian meals, that are slow (slow food). Slow food The alternative to fast food is slow food. Every time you eat you have a complete traditional meal and so it takes you more time to finish and you can digest easily; thus the slow food movement promotes the pleasure and enjoyment in food to protect Italian`s health.
