Why are fast food meals so affordable?

Fried foods and sandwiches are affordable because of the cheap ingredients they use. They also don’t take a lot of time to make. This would save on labor costs. To make food more affordable restaurants would have to serve the same meals over and over again. Other restaurants may serve a today’s special which would be a new kind of meal. They would not know how much to buy because they do not know how many people will order it.

At fast food restaurants, they know how much food to order based on their weekly inventories. That brings the cost down. Next time you go through the drive-thru of your favorite fast food restaurant, remember the food may be affordable, but it could risk your health.
