Anyone who's worked in a job that involves food can probably tell you that such occupations are both a gift and a curse. The good is obvious: working at a restaurant usually means either free or discounted meals. I worked at various fast food places from Subway to Burger King before I graduated to The Day Job, and all that free food came in handy. It was basically one less item on which I needed to spend what little money I had. I could also hook up my friends at will. This probably wasn't exactly ethical, but hey, pay a guy $3.35 an hour, and the definition of "ethical" tends to change a bit.
The flip side of working fast food is you likewise develop some terrible eating habits. Most of these jobs are pretty sedentary as well, with little activity involved beyond standing up and washing an occasional pot. Combine lack of movement with foods swimming in fat, and you've got a pretty lethal combo on your hands. I also smelled like fries when I got off, which wasn't too cool either.
