Globalization specific to the century we are living in seems to contain even the foods we consume. This statement is even more veracious if the specialists’ estimations on imports and exports of food products as well as those on franchise and restaurant chains are taken into consideration. The concept of fast-food exists since the oldest times, ambulant traders used to sell homemade food or drinks. This concept is closely related to urban development. Fast-food nutrition is full of empty, mendacious calories (most of them deriving from saturated fats and sugar) which give the sensation of satiety for short time, but without being capable of sustaining the effort daily made. This is one of the reasons for which the consumer feels the need to eat more and more. Many of the raw materials included in the menus of fast-food restaurants contain highly significant quantities of fats (French fries, meat, processed cheese). Having in view that traditional food is always healthy, it is recommended to choose a homemade sandwich even if it is available in fast-food restaurants because there are great differences between them. Fast-food menus are difficult to deal with especially when people are concerned with their weight and health. Having a healthy, well-balanced meal in most fast-food restaurants is a real challenge. But there are healthier options always hidden. People should know where they can find them and what order.
