Fast Food with Less of the Junk?
I have a confession to make. While most of the time I am a flexitarian who eats little meat, while I try at least to grow my own food, and while I avoid fast food whenever I can—from time-to-time I am still tempted by the lure of crappy burger chains and taco franchises (not naming any names here).

25 Take-Out Foods You Can Make at Home For Cheaper
Other than the ubiquitous fast food hamburger or fried chicken, it seems to me that the majority of take-out foods come from cuisines other than American. Pulling together the material for this post made my wonder why that is. Do we order Chinese food because we don't normally have the ingredients for it in our pantries?

Fast Food Leaves the Most Litter
It turns out that garbage from McDonald's is the most prevalent litter found on the streets of England. Next comes rubbish from Greggs, a bakery, then KFC and Subway.
