Fast food is a billion dollar industry thanks to the fast-paced, modern world that brought us the drive-thru window, car cup holder and self-regulating pacemaker.

We no longer have to sit at a table and take the time to enjoy our food or even look at it before we eat because we’re constantly on the go and have traded nutrition and meal breaks for slightly steadier paychecks. We also have more choices than ever when it comes to combo meals and to-go cuisine. Of course, the fast food you choose to stuff your face with is more telling than a fingerprint or dental record – and not just in an autopsy to determine cause of death.
