How often do you eat fast food?

[garbon]

I voted once a week if we include fast food like I make at home. If not about twice a month.

Food that you make at home is pretty much by definition not "fast".

[derspiess]

True but how do you classified store bought frozen burger patties & frozen fries?

Frozen food.  I think for the purposes of this thread we are talking about buying food at a fast food joint.

A fast food establishment is a restaurant where you order at a counter or a drive-in window and then leave or seat yourself and are not served by a waitperson.

Like spiess said, frozen food is frozen food, it's not fast food.

Voted once per week, as there's a really convenient pizza place near my work that opened a couple of months ago, and I pick up a couple of slices from there for lunch every now and then when I don't bring food from home.

I don't watch a lot of television, so I was surprised to learn from the article that:

Trump once appeared in a McDonald's ad with Grimace

The leader of the free world, everybody.

Often, but only when I make it myself.

Smart ass.  You deserve a McScrotum on your face for that.

A couple times a month for me.  I only eat fast food when traveling, (but that's a regular occurrence for me.)  I try to avoid it, but I'm often pressed for time, or with Amtrak linemen who seem to eat nothing but McDonald's.

Yeah;  I eat breakfast in the morning and pack my lunch, trying to stretch it out as far as I can, but rolling out at 5pm and with the traffic sometimes I don't get home until 7pm; by then, either I'm starving and I can't wait, or I'm too exhausted to do anything for myself when I get home.

2-3 times a week

Voted "a few times a week".  I usually swing by McDonalds and grab something for breakfast;  I gotta eat something in the morning when I take my meds or else a couple of them will make me nauseous, and I don't usually want to take the time to fix any breakfast for myself before I leave the house.  If it wasn't for that, it would probably be about once a week for me.

[CountDeMoney]

I can't lie: McDonald's, for all its poison, is still my Weapon of Choice.

[Monoriu]

A few times a month.  Mostly because my wife isn't a big fan of fast food.  She usually insists in sitting down at a restaurant for lunch.  But I get my way a few times a month. 

[Zanza]

Maybe ten times per year at places like McDonald's or the local Kebab joint.

That said I eat the reasonably good food in the canteen of my workplace most working days.

I saw this article on CNN:

No, poor people don't eat the most fast food

And wondered how the largely middle-class Languish rated.

That seems like a rather incomplete study, or an incomplete summary of a legitimate study. 

Okay, it seems like people from all income strata eat fast food sometimes at about the same rate, but that's a great leap of faith to assume that there is no variation of frequency of eating fast food within the "sometimes" category.

Maybe once a month.

From an outside perspective, I don't understand why Americans blame fast food for obesity.  It is quite obvious: American food portions are huge, and there is a lot of meat, in particular red meat.  This is true even for non-fast food establishments.
