Fast food based on healthy ancestral ingredients: a study on a new gastronomic approach

Abstract

In today's society there are new eating habits as a result of a very fast pace of life, with greater social dysfunctions, jobs that demand precise times and new trends, this has meant that many people are forced, very often at the time of feeding, to do it in a fast and agile way in order to meet their chaotic day to day. This is where the concept of fast food was born and its continuous evolution throughout the contemporary history of society, an evolution that resulted in large franchises dedicated to this concept which gave way, in turn, to the paradigms that fast food has today and is the fact of being junk food and harmful to health. The objective of this research work is to raise the question of whether it is possible to prepare fast food based on healthy ingredients in order to put an end to the erroneous idea that fast food is only unhealthy and of low nutritional value. The methods used in the research were chosen, given the medium complexity of the study, and the survey method and tool were used in order to be able to know directly the opinion of the people before this research. In addition, it was the most reliable tool at the time of gathering information related to social behavior. It should be noted that this research was conducted in an establishment dedicated to the sale of fast food in the parish of Charapotó, an establishment that is about to adopt a new gastronomic proposal called “Fast Good”, a proposal that is raised in this research work in the results of the same.
