Cleanup

 * It's full of promotional language and needs general NPOV work.
 * It needs expansion.
 * Its organization needs work.

I have attempted to improve the language in the article so that it is less amateurish. The article still needs much work. The most urgent tasks are
 * Expansion of topics
 * Elimination of biased language
 * Improving the style

Franchise concept
I have revised the franchise concept. I wouldn't say that in NZ, franchise is synomonous with fast food. For sure it's probably the first thing that will come to people minds but I would say most people probably recognise that it's not the same thing and there are in fact franchises which are not fast food. If you feel that franchise is synomonous with fast food in your country then add it to the list if you feel it is necessary but regardless mentioned it here (whether it is or isn't). This way, we can try to evalute how this varies in countries to determine what's the best thing to say. Nil Einne 13:50, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

I mean think about it.... fast food doesn't always mean junk food people! Although it gives so many young teens an opertunity for a job and with jobs shortages, imagine if fast food was banned! Less jobs less money, poorer people! There are many places that are fast and you can have a take away pasta and all of that .... soo it is not always bad! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.91.74.6 (talk)

Kebab, Schaworma, Falafel, Gyros
I am not an expert but I know that in many parts of the world (Europe, Middle East) these are extremely popular. I know as a fact, that In Romania, for instance, this type of food has becomed in he past 5-10 years even pore popular than hamburgers and similar US-insipred products. I'd say that in other European nations the situation must be similar. Is this kebab-boom documented anywhere? So the article needs to take into cosideration this oriental type of fast food, as well.

Reversion
I deleted the statement that fat causes erection problems in men because it has no references. Besides this point, it is a bold claim, and dubious. If anyone can point me to credible research supporting it, I will leave it there. Rintrah 16:21, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
