Bulgarians are the biggest fans of fast food and 68% of them cannot resist its temptation.
A poll, led by the Synovate, showed that Bulgarians are so tempted by junk food that they cannot control themselves, the Pari Daily reported.
For comparison, in the US only 44% have stated the same.
On the contrary, merely 19% of Swedish people prefer fast food, while in Malaysia the percentage is 20.
The reason for the results is that Americans' attitude towards fast food is divided. We like it, but we know it is not healthy, North Americans say.
The poll was held in February in twelve countries around the world, Vesty.bg reported.
