I think fast food is so entrenched in our culture, and also so meat based, that people realize it's killing them, or at the very least making them fat and unhealthy, but it's such an easy option that they can't easily resist it. It's a lot quicker to drive through McD's than to make a full dinner every night- especially a meatless one that covers all the nutritional bases. Heck, most people don't even pack a lunch for their kids- and the school lunches here are absolutely disgusting. I get up early and pack 3 lunches every day- today it's sunflowerseed butter sandwiches, organic apple sauce, home made chocolate chip cookies, and soy milk. It's tasty; it's good for my kids; but it wasn't cheap, and it took more time than just shoving my kid out the door with 2 bucks.
