Read the following text carefully:

Doctors may tell you that junk food is bad for your health but McDonalds, Burger King or
Pizza Hut can prove that young people dont listen to that advice
How did the hamburger become the most popular, most typical American food?
The hamburger has no connection with ham. It got its name from the German town of
Hamburg, which was famous for its ground steak. German immigrants to the United
States introduced the hamburger steak. Then, the introduction of the bun was an
important part of the answer. Another important part is McDonalds, one of the worlds
most famous fast food restaurants.
You can find them in Japan, Germany, Panama, Guatemala, Australia, Portugal, Hong
Kong and even Moscow. In fact, there are 13,000 in 120 countries. Theres even a
floating McDonalds in St. Louis, Mississippi, and another in Alaska. The first McDonalds
was opened in Des Plaines, Illinois, and is now a museum.
What makes American fast food so popular?
Lee Cho, a South Korean, says: I often go to MacDonalds. Its clean, less expensive
than other restaurants and saves time.
Natalia Petrovna, a girl from Moscow, says I find the hamburgers very tasty and the
sundaes with caramel sauce are out of this world
Karen Smith, from Frankfurt: MacDonalds is our favourite meeting point. We can sit
there and talk for hours in a friendly atmosphere. There are lots of young people around.
The food is cheap and the milkshakesyum
Older people are very critical of this sort of food. Lots of young people in the USA are
overweight and parents blame these high-calorie foods that their children gobble up in
large quantities.
