All countries have fast food (either branches of American chains or their own), so that fact remains unchanged. However, it may not all be the same (like how McDonalds has different stuff based on region). There are US chains that have an international presence (KFC, McDonalds, Popeyes, Burger King) but they’re altered catering to local demographics along with taking regional pricing into account, like you can’t charge American prices in India when their salaries are less.
However there is a distinction to be made, as American fast food is stereotyped as “burgers and fries” while Korean fast food is different for example (reflective of portion sizes and what’s considered fast food). I know that the UK has Nandos (which is South African in origin) but their business model works differently to Popeyes since the latter specializes on southern fried chicken while Nandos is more on Portuguese-African fuision cuisine, it looks nothing like KFC.
Japan has MOS Burger, Korea has Lotteria & Saudi Arabia has Al-Baik & Australia has Red Rooster in which are all fast food chains but they don’t serve massive portions (as in the largest size they have looks small to American eyes). How crap is fast food in the US when you consider quality and price? If you have traveled abroad and tried local fast food chains, are they any better or worse even though they’re unhealthy on a nutritional level?
