Convenience, speed, and some people like it. I personally don't eat McDonalds, I find it disgusting. However, I happily eat at Whataburger pretty often, generally at around 3 in the morning with friends. Convenience, and I love the way it tastes.
I admit I don't eat healthy in the slightest. Around one coke a day, (NOTE: I'm from the south, I say Coke for all sodas...), lots of pizza and burgers, lots of fried food. Lots of 'instructions on the box' type foods. We're pretty close to town, and shopping isn't that big a deal. But I can't go twice a month let alone often enough to keep short lived food. I live withing 10 miles of town, but when you only have 2 major stores they're so crowded it takes an hour to get a small cart of food...
I eat a lot of meat, and I love it. I couldn't and will not ever be a vegetarian. I'm not sure I've ever gone a day in my life without eating some form of meat... my point here is not understanding vegetarians.

Its pretty common nowadays to use human feces for fertilizer. Especially with fruit trees. Even after its gone through the rounds, it can still pass things into the fruit...
