Abstract

These researchers discovered that convenience is probable to be affiliated with comprehensive food processing, as in the demonstration of constructed snack foods; such snacks are seen as befitting but unhealthy, while unprocessed “fruit as a snack” are seen as healthy but inconvenient. Fast food repasts founded on burgers and deep-fried chicken (e.g. MacDonald's, KFC) furthermore are inclined to be seen as befitting but unhealthy. There has been a maintained boost in the demand for convenience foods and snacks over several years (Traill, 1994; Keynote, 2003). Moreover, a larger capacity of fast food is spent in the Doha/Qatar than in any other homeland in Europe (Schlosser, 2001).

Recently, the idea that processed convenience foods are assisting to a fatness outbreak has directed to litigation proceedings contrary to McDonald's. At the identical time, several fast-food companies and food manufacturers have reconsidered the fat and sugar contents of their product varieties, and reassessed the dimensions of the portions they offer. New “healthy options” (e.g. pasta salad, crop sacks, corn-on-the-cob) can now be bought from fast-food outlets beside customary burger and chicken meals. Another latest innovative strategy by McDonald's and KFC endows dietary data for each serving of food to be accessed by nutritional calculator devices on each company's world broad web location (see www.kfc.com and www.mcdonalds.co.Doha/Qatar).
