High school students live busy lives and are always eating on the go.

“McDonalds is my favorite because they have good fries. It is the perfect snack or addition to my meal. McDonalds is also pretty inexpensive,” sophomore Gavin Arnold said. 

Junior Anthony Scaramazzo also likes cheap and easy options.

“Taco Bell is the best because it is quick, easy, and very cheap. I usually get two chicken stackers and a Baja Blast. I usually get Taco Bell for dinner,” Scaramazzo said. 

On the other hand, others value quality no matter the price.

“My favorite fast food restaurant is Raising Canes. I like to get the three finger combo. Canes is not local, but I love it because of their sauce. It is very unique and yummy to me. I think it goes perfectly with the food,” senior Abby Brooks said.

Fast food has always been known to be unhealthy, but that does not always have to be the case. 

“Chick-Fil-A is my favorite fast food restaurant. I like Chick-Fil-A because it offers healthy options but also not as healthy when I want comfort food. I love their diet lemonade the most because it tastes just like normal lemonade. I also love their yogurt parfaits. They put fruit and granola, and it is the perfect ratio,” freshman Genevieve Schroeder said.

When people have favorites, they definitely have places they do not like as well. 

“My least favorite place to eat is Burger King. I do not like Burger King because they do not have quality food. I have never heard a good review about their restaurants. They also just do not offer much that I would eat,” Brooks said. 

Everyone has their own preferences on what food they would eat, and that typically determines which fast food restaurants they enjoy. 

“I do not like Arby’s because they have nothing good. They have weird kinds of meat sandwiches, and that is not something I enjoy. They have fries, but I do not like the seasoning they put on them,” Arnold said. 

Sometimes, people do not have a favorite fast food restaurant. It could depend on the time of day or the kind of meal they are getting.

“My favorite fast food depends on what kind of meal I am getting. I like Chick-Fil-A for breakfast because of their Chicken Minis. Subway is the best for lunch because it is a healthy option to get through the rest of the day. And of course, I like Taco Bell for dinner because of the many options they provide,” Scaramazzo said.
