all is are( all of this is )
Most people lead busy lives and don't have much time to cook. For such people, fast food can be one way to save time. Ordering a meal from a fast food restaurant is much quicker than cooking. We also don't need to go to a market or wash dishes. Moreover, it can also be cheaper. A set of a burger and fries is often cheaper than buying uncooked food from a market. All of this is attractive to millions of people.
