I wonder…Term project introductionI wonder what negative impact the fast food industry has had on the environment. Nowadays, the fast food industry has become one of the largest industries in the world. More and more fast food restaurants are opening as the number of people consuming fast food increases. For example, within a mile of where I live, there are more than seven fast food restaurants, and most people I know eat fast food at least once a week. Since we all live in the same atmosphere, if the fast food industry had a negative impact on the environment, it would affect the well-being of the entire society. For this reason, this is a topic that interests people all over the world. Therefore, the purpose of this research paper is to learn more about the topic, so I hope I can change my eating habits and influence my friends to adapt their eating habits in order to protect the environment.

First of all, most fast food restaurants do not consume local agricultural products.

At the same time, supplies for fast food chains, as far as I know, are intensively farmed products, which I believe will have a greater impact on the environment than products raised according to the old school.ResearchAccording to the article "The dilemma of carnivore,” in American, most carbon dioxide emissions… middle of paper… everyday foods require a lot of energy and release a lot of greenhouse gases to produce. This is why we should stop wasting food, consume less meat and eat more locally grown food. Bibliography Fiala, Nathan. “How Meat Contributes to Global Warming.” The American scientific magazine.
