Fast food has vastly different meanings depending on where you are in the world. Here in the United States, we've basically built our modern culture around two things: the automobile and the fast food restaurant.

Establishments like McDonald's, Kentucky Fried Chicken, and In-and-Out Burger, despite humble beginnings as small operations, have defined American food culture for the last 60 years (via Smithsonian). However, this love of the fast food joint is not universally shared.
