Like so many on this site, this thread has been an eye-opener for me. I had no idea so many people judged "fast food" based on nutritional content. I'd always thought it had to do with speed.
I have come to that place in my life where I judge food based on
1) Fuel + Hunger
2) Nutrition + Hunger
3) Taste + Hunger
I consider myself an athlete and I eat like one.
Sorry but I have to get going so if you respond to me and if you don't hear back for sometime that would be because I've gone offline. It's going to be crazy busy weekend. Spring Fever and the never ending to do list

I wasn't talking about judging food. I was talking about using a term.
But, your reponse does clear it up a bit, since it sounds like you consider "fast food" to be a judgement.0 -

"Judgement" as in judging others?0 -

So then, wouldn't you really not think about fast food? You would judge food based on your personal ranking system, so why even bother considering if pizza is fast food or not since you don't care about the speed in which it was created?0 -

Domino's customer I assume ?
Never been there.
All these people butt hurt over me saying their pizza is fast food. Of course it's fast food--you buy it when you're too busy to make it and you consume without the effort of cooking! And then of course there are the low quality kinds and the high quality kinds. 0 -

Just the tomato sauce. And containing a vegetable doesn't make you a health food, I don't think, or else people better start apologizing to the jalapeno poppers!0 -

I'm going out to eat tonight (no time to have people over for dinner before the play we are going to), and plan to consume my food without the effort of cooking. Does that mean I'm going out for fast food?
Again, these are marketing categories, and calling everything other than home cooking "fast food" wouldn't make much sense. That's not "butt hurt," it would just be confusing.0 -

Is that your definition about fast food.?
Because it ain't mine.
End of conversation with you.
BTW if you have intentions to try to bait me or harass me by quoting my comments any further , I highly recommend - don't.

I decided to check wiki. It has ruled:Pizza is a common fast food category in the United States, with nationwide chains including Papa John's, Domino's Pizza, Sbarro and Pizza Hut. It trails only the burger industry in supplying children's fast food calories. Menus are more limited and standardized than in traditional pizzerias, and pizza delivery is offered.
So if we go with the judgment of wiki, it depends.0 -
I know a certain endurance athlete on these forums who eats a bunch of stuff that people would say "athletes" do not eat...but he does....0
