Everyone reading this has had fast food at least once, right? And if you haven’t, then you should because that stuff tastes GOOD! They have so many types of fast food places. They have American places, Mexican places, Mexican-inspired American, Thai places, really, all kinds of things (Thai food is more takeout than fast but that doesn’t matter.)

Everyone knows that it is bad for you, but why do we keep eating it? Well, if you have ever stopped eating at a fast food place, because you were tired of the food or you wanted to stop eating that unhealthily, chances are you went back eventually because they “changed” or put something new on their menu.

When you went back, you may have realized after a while that it was even worse than before, or that you even got tired of the new thing on the menu. Well, this was done on purpose. If they have new things like this, people will want to try it, so that place gets business. This works all the time and they get away with it.

Another tactic is giveaways, like Taco Bell having that PS4 giveaway, or McDonald’s toys in their Happy Meals. Some restaurants make good sides on purpose so that you buy the sides all the time, but since it’s a side you have it with a meal. They also might make good desserts to trick you into buying from them more often.

Even if you know how bad fast food is… You can’t help but eat it more and more.
