Fast food has changed the face of the old restaurants in a big city which are often open only twice a day, for lunch and an evening meal. In the morning and afternoons they often close, and they’re not open for many hours, they have to ask higher prices, because of fast food.

But not all are advantages to fast food because our body is damaged because it has much cholesterol for example, in the U.S. the kids are fat because of fast food. In the fast food you’re buying time. Today fast food is everywhere.

One fast food is ice cream, and its home was perhaps in Italy. Around 1920 trucks carried ice cream. In the ice cream shops you can get drinks, and sometimes people ask for milk. Often you want a Milk Shake.
