• La comida rápida puede parecer barata y, en sentido literal, a menudo lo es, pero ello se debe a que se están excluyendo de los cálculos enormes costes sociales y medioambientales. Cualquier análisis del coste real tendría que tener en cuenta aspectos como el aumento de las enfermedades transmitidas por los alimentos, la aparición de nuevos patógenos, la resistencia a los antibióticos por el uso excesivo de fármacos en la alimentación animal, la gran contaminación del agua por los sistemas de agricultura intensiva y muchos otros factores. Estos costes no se reflejan en el precio de la comida rápida.
