How ‘bout this?  Since “to fast” means “not to eat”, and food is “that which is to eat”, it follows that “fast food” is an oxymoron—food NOT to eat!

@RichardBlais That looks great!  Fast food is an oxymoron,a fast means no food.  I am so glad that English isn’t my 2nd language.

A fast is a time abstaining from food, so there is no such thing as food for a fast.
