While fast food began as sandwiches and sides, the menus expanded over time. Today fast food includes fish, a variety of fried chicken, tacos, pizza, and a wide selection of sides.Happy National Fast Food Day, but remember the relevant questions I asked in 'Food, Inc. 2' worksheet for National Food Day.
Sodas quench the thirst and desserts sweeten the menu. From ice cream and shakes to pies and cakes, fast food delivers.
20. How long has the federal minimum wage been at $7.25 per hour?
Since 2009.
21. How much does the CEO of Yum Brands earn in an hour? How much does the average Taco Bell worker make in a year? Answer both questions.
I forget the exact amount, but the CEO of Yum Brands, the parent company of Taco Bell, Kentucky Fried Chicken, and Pizza Hut, makes slightly more in one hour than the average Taco Bell worker makes in a year, about $12,000.
22. Which two companies’ workers are the biggest users of food stamps and Medicaid?
One of them is McDonalds. The other is Walmart.
That's a wrap for today's food holiday, making four in a row. Stay tuned for Grammy nominees tomorrow.
