Except fast is an adjective when describing food...

Just because the phrase is used colloquially to describe a specific group of restaurants doesn't change the fact the phrase "fast food" is comprised of two words, one being a noun; the other an adjective.

Fast greasy food. Fast disgusting food.

Fast food is not a word. It is a phrase.

Words don't have spaces.
