In my opinion, fast food doesn't really help the cause of food justice. Although it provides cheap food at an affordable price, I don't believe that it counts as real food. It's not a sufficient sort of food for people to eat. In fact, it causes many illnesses such as obesity and diabetes. To me, that means that food that can potentially kill you does not count as food that is sufficient for people to live off of. One burger alone contains up to 1100 calories and about 80 grams of fat. (www.jackinthebox.com). These are good numbers for someone who hasn't eaten in a few days. But for a normal person, this is something that is extremely unhealthy. This is not a way for people to eat. It hinders food justice because people think that there are sufficient supplies of food being serviced from such establishments such as Jack in the Box, when really its false and unhealthy products that are hurting people more than helping them. That is why and how I feel fast doesn't contribute to helping food justice at all.
