Although it’s been said that “fast food” might not be the healthiest for us, a recent poll ask people how many years would they be willing to sacrifice to keep eating fast food. Well, the results are in and the average was about 3-4 years!
However, in states like Montana, North Dakota, and Hawaii people said that they would give up 12 years of their life to keep chompin’ down the fast food! Can you believe that? That they would check out 12 years earlier than expected if it meant that they could keep eating cheeseburger, fries, chicken fingers and more!
Not sure how good the fast food is in these three states, but clearly they love heading through the drive-thru, picking up the quick breakfast, lunch or dinner even if it meant passing on 12 years sooner. Just think about all that we’re talking about when it comes to “fast food”…
Fish and Chips
Sandwiches
Pitas
Hamburgers
Fried chicken
French Fries
Onion Rings
Chicken Nuggets
Tacos
Pizza
Hot Dogs
Ice Cream
…and more!
Just knowing we have a cornucopia of places to choose lead by McDonald’s of course, it’s all around us and we never have to go that far for it. But when you start thinking about it, to sacrifice years off you life is a totally different subject. On the other hand, we’re thinking it might be the final years of your life, so maybe there’s that and that’s how those that were polled thought about it.
Either way, check out the segment from this morning and think about it yourself, how many years would you give up just to keep eating your favorite “fast food”? Maybe at this time, 3 to 4 years doesn’t sound so bad, but remember, when it’s over it’s over…
All that and a lot more in this edition of “A Few Things We Think You Should Know” on The Mike & Carla Morning Show!

We are sad to announce that two of the restaurants, Yayo Taco and Bachi Burger that were featured on the show have been shut down permanently. Yayo Taco served street-style “fusion” tacos that left hungry fans wanting the recipe to their “Adobe Mole Sauce.” Bachi Burger served Asian-style burgers which were rich in flavor profiles. The “Spicy Miso Burger” was a customer favorite.
Figuring out where to eat can be a challenge so we decided to make it easy for you. Instead of Google Mapping “restaurants” or “food near me” we put together a list of restaurants that were featured on Food Network‘s popular television show Diner’s, Drive-Ins and Dives.
