History of Fast Food (Study Guide and Slides)

This is an awesome lesson for middle or high school students to understand how fast food is affecting people. This information is based off of the Netflix show, History 101: Fast Food. For the lesson, I recommend showing the episode (21 minutes), review the information on the slides, and have students complete the handout. Great lesson!
