Fast Food Versus Traditional Food Fast food versus Traditional Food Our study was based on students from 3rd. Cycle (7th, 8th and 9th years) who are aged between 12 and 15 years. A questionnaire was set online for 15 days and198 students from the 255 of this Cycle answered the questionnaire, which is a good representative sample because it represents 78% of the students. The study shows that a high percentage of the students (68.69%) know what fast food is. However, a considerable percentage of students (28.79%) associate a fast food meal to burgers and pizzas and 2.53% of the surveyed students believe that fast food is a meal based on the Food Wheel. The survey shows us that most learners (76.26%) consume fast food less than once per week, 19.19% twice or three times per week and 4.55% more than three times a week. More than half of respondents (66.67%) regularly consume fast food at restaurants, while 33.33% said that they usually eat fast food at home. More than half of the students prefer pizza as fast food (58%), while 31.31% prefer burgers, 7, 07% hotdogs and 3.54% another type. 69.70% of the students stated that they consume fast food just because they like it, while 23.74% because it is more practical, 2.02% because it is "fashionable" and 4.555 for no mentioned reasons. From the results, we found out that the majority of students (83.33%) consume traditional food at home, 11.62% at relatives’ and 5.05% at restaurants. The results show us that more than half of the students (61.62%) eat traditional food more than three times per week and 29.80% twice to three times per week. 8.59% of students have traditional food less than once per week. Comparing these results with the frequency of fast food, we verified that the data is relatively consistent (the range does not exceed 14%). Regarding the "traditional food" most students (82.32%) showed a consistent answer with what traditional food is.   About 42.93% of students eat traditional food because it is healthier, 33.84% because they enjoy it, 22.22% because it is the consumed one at their homes and 1.01% for another reason.     When questioned about their traditional food preferences, 33.33% of students answered cod fish, 22.22% of them Portuguese stew.   In short, from the data presented, we can infer that more than half of the students know what fast food is and they consume it because they enjoy it. Most of them consume it less than once per week, mostly at restaurants. The preference of the surveyed students lies on pizzas and burgers. The data also shows us that students consume less fast food and more traditional food. Young people surveyed showed that the most famous dishes from traditional Portuguese cuisine are among their preferences. It’s important to highlight that half of the students have traditional food because they like it and because it is healthier. After applying this questionnaire to our students, we consider that it would be interesting to quest parents/ families about this same issue, once they are referred as people who consume and prepare fast food.
