we choose to eat fast food b/c we're tired and don't want to cook, the "chef" (me) is sick, and/or we want something fast.
we eat less (wait, I don't know that we do) but if we do it's because of $$
Fast food is expensive if you're only talking about places like mcdonalds, etc. If you're also talking about being able to walk into costco and eat @ their food court or grab a roasted chicken and some baked potatoes from Wendy's then it's cheaper.
New menus would bring in more people. I'm tired of McDonald's, Wendy's etc. Same dish, different place - burgers, chicken sandwiches, salads and fries. That's what I like most about Boston Market, a nice variety of better foods.
I love take away, but we rarely get it. We have 2 adults, a growing teen boy and 2 little girls. It's too expensive.
I don't eat fast food too much, because I'm a vegetarian. However, I did fall into the BK veggie burger trap!
1. When I do eat fast food, its usually with my kids (I know, bad) because I need a break. I want to break up the day, or I'm at my wits end and want something quick. I'm also a bit of an addictive person. I first started going to BK last Spring, when I was trying to finish school with an infant, a four year old, and a husband working in another state. I found I could go there, not have to worry about making dinner (or clean up), my baby would sleep, my son would play (and hence wear himself out before bedtime) and I could read my homework. This carried over once the semester was over and we moved to where my husband was working. He still traveled a lot, so I was alone with the kids a lot. So, once a week or so, the kids and I would have lunch there--it gave me a break from the 24/7.
Now, the other big fast food we eat is pizza. Why? Because my husband and I love pizza and it is definitely a comfort food for us. We get take out pizza about once a month. I go to BK 1-2 times a month now.
2. We don't eat it more often because A)Not a lot of choices for veggies; B)most of it is fattening and the ones that are advertising as not, don't have good choices on bread or cheese (all processed); and C)It gets expensive--its cheaper to make comfort, convenience foods at home. I go to BK because it is comfort food for me. I don't go to often to Subway, because the bread isn't healthy and it use to not have much for a vegetarian (the veggie selection has gotten a lot better--I get spinach, not iceberg, carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, etc.). I know, I'm saying that the bread at Subway isn't healthy, yet I go to BK. I guess my little head figures if you are going to eat bad, go all the way...
3. Its not expensive, but it can be for a family if they eat it all the time.
4. I really don't know. I think they are going in the right direction with offering options that haven't been traditionally thought of fast food.
5. No, but I do love Indian food! If I lived in an area with Indian food take out, I would probably do it!

1. The only time we do is when we are traveling, so we can get back on the road. We will do an occ. KFC if we are running late, and don't have time to cook.
2.I'm not sure they are, with all the dollar menus and items.
3. yes, I can make a salad, or burger much much cheaper...even cheaper than $1
4. no clue - but having better customer service (friendlier people, I don't know, but the last time I went it the service was just so bad, and the people didn't care)
5. I don't do take away - unless you count the occ. KFC as take away.
