When consume
12、rs need to cut spending, cheap meals like Big Macs and Whoppers become even more attractive. As a result, fast-food chains have survived the recession better than their more expensive competitors. In 2009 sales at full-service restaurants in America fell by more than 6%, but total sales remained abo
13、ut the same at fast-food chains. In some markets, such as Japan, France and Britain, total spending on fast food increased. But in this ongoing recession(萧条), which is more severe, not all fast-food companies have been as fortunate. Many, such as Burger King, have seen sales fall. In the recession,
14、while some people trade down to fast food, many others eat at home more frequently to save money. Smaller fast-food chains in America, such as Jack in the Box and Carls Jr., have been hit particularly hard in this downturn because they cut back spending on advertising. In face of such challenges, so

But in many cases that strategy doesnt work. Some companies are rethinking their strategies. KFC has laun

McDonalds started selling better coffee as a challenge to Starbucks. Its “McCafe” line now accounts for an estimated 6% of
17、sales in America. As fast-food companies shift from “super size” to “more buys”, they need to keep customer traffic high throughout the day. Many see breakfast as a big opportunity, and not just for fatty food. McDonalds has started selling porridge in America, because the profits can be high. But w
18、hat about those growing waistlines? So far, fast-food firms have cleverly avoided government regulation. By providing options like salads and low-calorie sandwiches, they have at least given the impression of doing something about helping to fight obesity(肥胖). These offerings dont necessarily lead t

This year Congress passed Americas health-reform bill, which requires restaurant chains with 20 or more sto

And the recent proposal by a county in California to ban McDonalds from including toys in its high-calorie “Happy Meals”, because law makers believe it attracts children to unhealthy food, suggests that fast-food companies will have to
