Think of how many fast food chains exist in the United States alone. Each one of those restaurants needs a large supply of beef, chicken, pork, corn, potatoes, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, milk, and other food products.

I didn't have money to eat when I was 21. When I was short on cash, I would sometimes scam food from fast food places.
