What is fast food and why is it so popular?
Fast food is any food that is quick, convenient, and usually inexpensive. You can buy fast food just about anywhere that sells food and snacks. Vending machines, drive-thru restaurants, and 24 hour convenience stores are probably the most common places to find fast food. It's so popular because for under $5.00 you can usually get a filling meal. However, fast food is inexpensive because it is usually made with cheaper ingredients such as high fat meat, refined grains, and added sugar and fats, instead of nutritious foods such as lean meats, fresh fruits, and vegetables.
Is fast food bad?
There is no such thing as a “bad” food. All foods can fit into a healthy meal plan. It's true that fast food is usually high in fat, calories, cholesterol, and sodium, but eating fast food every once in a while is not going to cause you problems. If you eat too much fast food over a long period of time, though, it can lead to health problems such as high blood pressure, heart disease, and obesity.
Is some fast food healthier than others?
Many fast food chains are revamping their menus to respond to customers comments. For example, some chains no longer serve foods with trans fat, and many have menu items that contain fruits and vegetables. If you are having fast food more than once a week, try to make healthier choices. Here are some tips:
Choose foods that are broiled over fried such as a grilled chicken sandwich instead of fried chicken or chicken nuggets.
Choose soups that are not cream based (For example: If the name of the soup includes the word cream, such as "Creamy Tomato Soup", avoid ordering it).
Have low-fat salad dressings instead of the full-fat kind.
Have a salad or soup instead of fries.
Use mustard or ketchup instead of mayonnaise.
Order smaller entrée portions. For example: instead of a large sub, try a small sub with a side salad or piece of fruit.
If you are getting a side, order a small, or kid sized portion. A large fry has approximately 500 calories and 25 grams of fat, while a small fry has about 60% less fat and calories (230 calories and 11 grams of fat).
When ordering a sub or sandwich, select leaner meats like turkey or grilled chicken instead of fried items such as burgers or steak, and cheese sandwiches.
Choose water, low-fat milk, or diet sodas instead of regular sodas, fruit drinks, milkshakes, or whole milk.
When ordering pizza, add veggies instead of meat, and get thin crust instead of deep dish.
If fruits and veggies are available, try to add them into your meal. For example, have lettuce and tomato on sandwiches or burgers.

Russia is a beautiful and truly great country that I can called my homeland because I was born and raised in Saint Petersburg. I love my country how can I not? Россия — это замечательная, по-настоящему великая страна, которую я имею полное право называть своей родиной, поскольку я родился и вырос в Санкт-Петербурге. Я очень люблю свою страну, да и разве можно ее не любить?
The most understanding and kind people live here, they are always there to help in case you have a problem. My parents and I travel abroad sometimes and I have never met anyone so responsive and kindhearted. Только здесь живут самые добрые и понимающие люди, которые всегда готовы прийти на окружающим в трудную минуту. Бывая с родителями за границей, я нигде не встречал такого по-настоящему душевного отношения и отзывчивости.
And of course, the nature is so beautiful in Russia. All these endless fields, coniferous forests, deep rivers, clear lakes, valleys and mountains that were depicted in various books. I especially love the Ural mountains. We went camping there with my parents when we visited my grandparents and went kayaking in the Chusovoy river. Еще, конечно же, в России потрясающая природа. Это бескрайние поля, густые хвойные леса, полноводные реки, чистые озера, равнины и горы, к описанию которых не раз обращались многие русские литературные деятели. Особенно моему сердцу близки Уральские горы. Туда мы не раз всей семьей ходили в поход, приезжая в гости к бабушке, а также сплавлялись на байдарках по реке Чусовой.
I like the fact that our country is so big and it feels like the whole life time is not enough to visit every corner of it. I’ve been to Moscow, Ekaterinburg, Rostov-on-Don and even in Noviy Urengoy and Russia is different everywhere. People who live in the South are very different from the people living in the North. Moscow and Saint Petersburg residents are totally different story. I think it’s the main secret and peculiarity of our country. Мне нравится, что наша страна очень большая и, кажется, целой жизни не хватит, чтобы объехать каждый ее уголок. Я был уже и в Москве, и в Екатеринбурге, и в Ростове-на-Дону, и даже в Новом Уренгое, и везде Россия такая разная. Люди, живущие на юге, сильно отличаются от людей, живущих на севере, а москвичи и петербуржцы — это, вообще, отдельная категория россиян. И в этом, как мне кажется, заключается одна из главных загадок и особенностей нашей страна.
I don’t just love Russia, I’m proud of it because a lot of famous scientists, researchers and artists were born here. For example, my favorite writer Anton Pavlovich Chekhov, people across the world are reading his book up till now. Я не просто люблю Россию, но еще и очень горжусь ей, ведь именно здесь родилось множество известных ученых, исследователей и деятелей искусства. В частности, мой самый любимый писатель Антон Павлович Чехов, произведения которого до сих пор люди с удовольствием читают во всем мире.
A lot of people I know are not happy with Russia and some of them even want to leave the country and find a better place. I understand them but I don’t support it. I think wherever you go your heart will always be connected to your home and your soul will always want to go back to your homeland. Многие мои знакомые ругают Россию, а некоторые даже хотят уехать из нее в поисках лучшей жизни. Я могу понять их стремление, но не разделяю его. Мне кажется, что куда бы ни уехал человек, сердцем он всегда будет привязан к дому, и душа его будет неизменно стремиться туда, где его родина.
