how often do you eat it?

May 16 2008, 08:24 AM
Probably about once a month....
I think if we had Popeye's around here I would eat fast food more often. I really like that place.

May 16 2008, 08:25 AM
we used to eat fast food a few times a week... now we eat fast food only a few times a month...
we usually go to Carls JR but we go to other non brand name places too.. too many good places to eat around here

Hubby's a manager at Jack in the Box. We eat is way more then we should. However, free food is free food.

Maybe 3-4 times a month. Usually Wendy's, occasionally Quiznos.

I think between 1 and 3 times a month. Depends on what is going on. I do make the vast majority of food we eat at home.

if hubby had his way we would eat out more often

but I know he prefers the home cooked meals I make...
he has been eating out every day this week during work... and at the beginning of the week I told him that I should pack him a lunch because this is going to add up... and he said well I just want to get settled in first but after about 2 days of eating out he said yeah I prolly should get myself a lunch box cooler thing... I think he misses the lunches I packed for him

Recently, only a couple times a month. It would mostly be Chik-Fil-A. Sometimes Taco Bell. While I was pregnant, Burger King sometimes when I didn't want to cook and hubby can get the vegetarian burger there.
I think the "Supersize" thing would be true of any fast food restaurant, not just McDonalds. If someone is going to eat way too much fattening food at each meal, what do they expect to happen.
Pattu Rani
May 16 2008, 12:23 PM
Almost never, since I am vegetarian and the choice of major chains here is not great - no Sonic, Jack In the Box, etc. I get an ice cream once in a blue moon at McD's but nothing else - probbly even their yogurt has gelatin in it. If Diary Queen was here I would probably eat there at least once a week - they have it in Bangkok and at the Muscat airport, why not in NYC, wtf????

Hardly ever. Perhaps at most once a month. I usually only have fast food with friends; occasionally we'll all be feeling tired and someone will suggest that instead of cooking we'll get a take-away and watch a movie.

When that occurs we either get a Chinese or Indian. I never go to any burger/pizza/sandwich places here in the UK. It's neither tasty nor cost effective.
However, must admit that each time I've been to the US we've had fast food a few times. My preference is for In'n'Out. I love their burgers!

Haven't eaten any fast food since November 2006 (including pizza!)...probably how I lost 80 pounds!!! If I really want to go to a restaurant (which isn't often), I'll go somewhere I can get something a little healthier...

I'd say once every 3 months, maybe. And I didn't pick one on the second question, because since I've been here I went to a few different, never really repeated them so I could choose one that I go more often.

But wasn't 'supersize me' about fast food in general (including Jack in the Box) not just McDonalds.
Anyway, we normally eat fast food maybe twice a month, but since we arrived in the U.S. 4 weeks ago we have had it quite a bit, trying all these new places - krystal's, steak and shake etc etc.
Can't say that any of them are that appealing.

Try Pollo Tropical. Their Caribbean Fajitas are great! Popeye's isn't bad, either.

Almost never eat fast food. If i'm going out to eat, i'd rather go to a restaurant, rather than crappy fast food. The main fast food I would eat is fish and chips.

Oh good Lord, I have had a terrible time finding proper fish & chips in Florida. I have had to resort ot making my own, which really stinks up the hosue. While I was in Canada this past week (gosh.... was it only a few hours ago?) I had some and my husband (who didn't come to Canada with me) got a craving for them and finally found a place he thinks I will like. Yay!

Looking forward to trying it.
