FAST FOOD’S GETTING WORSE

Takeaway food is bigger and badder than it was 30 years ago

DESPITE THE EFFORTS MADE BY SOME fast food chains to offer grilled food and other healthier items, fast food is bigger, more calorific and saltier than ever. That’s according to new US research1 that looked at 10 fast food restaurants, including Mcdonald’s, KFC and Burger King. The study found that mains and desserts have grown significantly in size and calorie content since the 1980s.
