Fast Food Addiction and Its Impact among the Villlagers at Kallakurichi District, Tamil Nadu

Fast food refers to meals that are prepared and served quickly, often requiring minimal preparation time. It is widely available through various sources such as restaurants, roadside stalls, and small eateries. Fast food has gained popularity due to its convenience, taste, and easy accessibility. However, not all fast foods are healthy, as they may contain high levels of saturated fats, cholesterol, added sugars, and preservatives. Previous studies have shown a significant rise in fast food consumption among rural populations. In light of this trend, the researcher conducted a study involving a sample of 550 individuals from villages in the Kallakurichi District to assess fast food addiction and its impact on the local population.
