No, it's not that simple. Not when you have students who don't eat certain things for religious reasons, or do you want them to get the impression that their opinion doesn't matter? Or students who cannot eat pizza because they are lactose intolerant? Almost every town has a fast food section, and if you stop at a place like that, there's a good chance everyone has their needs met without making anyone feel strange or bad because of their difference.
