You can find them in Japan, Germany, Panama, Guatemala, Australia, Portugal, Hong Kong and even Moscow. In fact, there are 13,000 in 120 countries. What makes American fast food so popular? Lee Cho, a South Korean, says: “I often go to McDonald’s. It’s clean, less expensive than other restaurants and saves time.” Natalia Petrova, a girl from Moscow, says “I find the hamburgers very tasty”. Older people are very critical of this sort of food.
