Fast food
• Fast food is any food that is quick, convenient, and often inexpensive.
• Fast food is usually high in fat, calories, cholesterol, and sodium.
• Too much fast food can lead to health problems such as high blood pressure, heart disease, and obesity.
Most fast food and restaurant chains post their nutrition information online. Use a search engine to find the companies web page. There is usually a link to the nutrition section on the home page where you will find nutrition facts, including fat, cholesterol, sodium, protein, calories, and more. Take a look at this information to help you make healthier choices when eating out.

Formed by sound symbolism.
1) Slang pronoun for ‘you’ (“What cha doing?”) or 2) another way of saying ‘yes’ (“Do you want to go? Cha)
Shortened form for the pronoun ‘you’ for better rhythm in the song or easier pronunciation. It sounds similar to the real pronoun and may have been formed by teens slurring words together to sound more informal "don't you" to "don't cha." This word is most often heard in hip hop culture with rap artists.
