His aim was to try and curb our appetite for high preservative, high salt, and high sugar foods, which we were eating at a worrying rate. A lot of people think Americans inveneted junk food but actually junk food has it's roots in Europe. In 1860 the first fish and chips shop opens in Oldham, England--then in 1869 Berlin-based Max Sielaff invents the first automat, which serves simple food and drinks. In 1902 Joseph Horn and Frank Hardart bring an automat and, along with it fast food, to New York City. Enjoy a cheat day today because tomorrow it's back to a healthy diet.
