We all eat some fast food from time to time, right? It's a guilty pleasure and today on the Buzz List Teresa Strasser has some facts about the fast food industry that'll blow your mind.

3.  Pizza Hut

The largest purchaser of kale in the world is Pizza Hut. Well, it was before its health benefits made it the "it" vegetable. They weren't using it to eat though. They actually used it as a garnish for their salad bar.

2.  Subway

They are the largest restaurant chain in the world with almost 45,000 locations. McDonald’s has a little over 36,000 locations to give you some perspective. Fun fact about McDonald's, they're one of the largest owners of real estate in the world, earning most of its McBucks collecting rent, not selling food. This is fact that was highlighted in the recent film The Founder" starring Michael Keaton.

1.  Chipotle

Singer Jason Mraz is actually an avocado supplier to Chipotle. The Grammy award winner moved to a property with hundreds of avocado trees. He started harvesting about 30,000 pounds of the fruit each year, supplying a local Chipotle with whatever he doesn't eat himself.
