One is that over consumption of fast food may have dulled peoples minds so that they would rather ask for help over the internet rather than think for themselves when doing their homeworks.

You can mention why it is so popular.
It saves the time of preparation in a very busy lifestyle.
Many people either go to school or work. Food preparation takes a lot of time. When folks are not working, they are too tired and want to relax after a tired day at work or school. What can be easier than to order “take-out”?
These fast foods may not be too healthy but they serve the purpose of feeding our hunger, not too costly and most important of all, we can get the meal faster than cooking it ourselves. One can order it by cell phone from work or school and by the time one gets to the restaurant, it’s ready for pick-up. Most of these places even have drive-throughs!
Hope this helps.

For your first paragraph, I suggest one idea. Since it’s the introduction to your essay, I think you should say that fast food chains have become a big part in the lives of people nowadays. Your introduction should then revolve around this single thought and add sentences that would make your work more interesting.
For the following paragraphs, try to write some things that would serve as the extension of your introduction. I don’t give examples during the early sentences, you know. My thinking tank will get emptied early.
In the next paragraph, discuss about burger-based chains, like what you said… McDonald’s. You may begin it with a sentence like, “McDonald’s is one of the biggest food chains in the world, with numerous branches in different continents. It has contributed a lot and has a great reputation in the food chain industry.” And then add what else you could say.
Now do the same to your following paragraphs, writing as many things in a paragraph as possible. But remember that redundancy ruins an essay… as I see it.
Oh, and I have a paragraph here that I think is appropriate in the last parts of your essay.
“Fast food chains can be found almost everywhere these days. But people don’t always agree whether they have a good effect on the society. Some people say they are there to provide food in minutes and contribute to making people’s lives easier. (The idea is there, expand it.) But some people claim that fast food chains tolerate indolent people, making their lazy habits worse and worse.
“In the eyes of some, fast food outlets and food from these kinds of places contribute as well to the growing population of the obese and the physically challenged. (expand).
“However, of course, to those who own, manage, and have these chains for business, they grow, become richer, and become well-known all throughout the world because of what they have established. Other people believe that they have made a change in people’s lives… (expand).”
I don’t know. Do something like that. I’m not really sure if I helped and I hope my answer wasn’t very boring. If you want you could use some of my ideas. They don’t get used much anyway.
Oh! And 5000 words? That’s harsh. Good luck on your essay… =)
