TRADITIONAL AMERICAN FOOD

When my friends ask me “let’s go eat American”, I always think that they ask me “let’s eat HAMBURGER”. I know that fast food is not only traditional American food, but other kinds of American food are under fast food’s shadow. Fast food is omnipresent because it is convenient and cheap. During the first time I came to USA, I ate fast food more than four times a week. But now I cannot try it anymore.

Admittedly, there were three main reasons that make fast food to become more famous. First, due to industrial revolution, we don’t have time to cook so that we just go out for lunch/dinner. Next, our parents buy more and more prepared-food which we could buy easily at Costco, Wal-Mart, etc. Moreover, our parents just pass on ordering skill instead of cooking skill.
