Food Issues In Fast Food

Most Americans know that fast- food is very unhealthy and leads to many different health problems such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular conditions, and even mortality. I do not understand how people can blame the fast food industries for making themselves obese. When will people stand on their own two feet and take responsibility own health, obesity, and lack of health care management? From an early age, most people are taught by schools about the effects of the fast food industry and unhealthy eating. This allows people to make informed decision about the choices and health effects contributed to fast food. So I do not feel sorry for obese people, because they are the ones who made the poor choices to eat unhealthy. They knew the consequences before ordering that unhealthy meal.

“Obesity is a disease that affects more than one-third of the U.S adult population (approximately 78.6 million Americans). The number of Americans with obesity had steadily increase since 1960, a trend that has slowed down in recent years but show no sign of reversing”.

America has the most Obesity health issue in the world 100 million American are either over weight or obese, but blaming fast food is completely wrong because every individual is responsible for his or her own actions taken. Fast food doesn’t beg people to come in and become over weight instead we choose to eat fast food when we have a desire. Although fast food do advertising, have a playground and giveaways like toys attracting kids to come buy a meal

Obesity is becoming one of the biggest problems in the country, but there has to be reasons for it. It can be the economy, society now, or people and companies. It’s time that our country starts to realize that we can’t live like this anymore. We need to see what is causing the sudden rise in obesity, and what we can do to fix it. Education of risks and solutions can be very helpful. Obesity is killing so many people, yet is still 100 percent avoidable. Our country is beginning to care less and really let themselves go. The fast food industry, supermarkets, and schools are the ones at fault for the spreading problem of obesity.

most people in the U.S think the obesity growing problem is from fast food restaurants. Restaurants are another place to blame for the obese

People may say that it is the fast food companies that are to blame for obesity, but I do not think it is. Yes they sell unhealthy food to us but it is our faults for consuming it. They only cause us to become overweight because we let them too. If we do not eat the food they put out in front of us we will not get fat. If we do eat it, we must exercise to burn it off. If we do not then that is the reason we are fat. It is common sense that if you eat something and it gets you fat then you should probably stop consuming it or do something to get rid of that

In 2013, a poll was taken making the United States the second fattest country in the world, following Mexico (NYPost, “Mexico Beats US to be World’s Fattest Country-”). So the questions stands, is America taking it too far by blaming fast food for the obesity rate? After all, It is the individuals choice where, and what to eat, but on another note, fast food restaurants have a very appealing way in getting buyers, and basically tricking society into eating processed junk food that is high in calories and fats. Even though it is the individual’s decision what to eat, fast food is one of the main reasons for obesity. It is cheap, easily accessible, and fast, but it also problem causing and very dangerous to our bodies.

Today, many people eat fast food instead of home made food. The reason is that fast food is fast, cheap and convenient. However, at the same time, fast food is contributing to a big social problem in the U.S., which is obesity, and recently some people are beginning to sue the fast food companies for causing their obesity. Should the fast food companies have responsibility for American's obesity? My answer for this argument is "No". I think that whether people eat fast food or not is an individual choice. There are many people who eat fast food, but aren't obese. They may do some exercises for burning calories, or try not to eat fast food as much as they can, caring for their health. Moreover, some fast food companies serve relatively

In the United States, there are many people who believe that if it wasn’t for fast food restaurants, they would be eating healthier and wouldn’t be overweight. People have even tried to sue fast food restaurants for their own self esteem issues. It’s ironic that people actually blame fast food restaurants, such as McDonald’s, for being obese. While fast food may be one of the contributors to the obesity outbreak, it certainly doesn’t stand alone. There are loads of reasons why people living in the United States are overweight. Some of these reasons involve dilemmas within the school arrangements, peer pressure, family genetics, educational issues, and even where a person lives. The National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health

Fast food corporations are to blame for obesity with in children and adults. Fast food corporations influence customers to come back to their restaurants knowing the food causes obesity. Fast food companies place their restaurant’s near schools so students can go there during their lunch or after school. Fast food corporations add delicious artificial flavoring in the food to make people want to return which causes obesity.

Are we taking it too far by blaming fast food restaurants for obesity? Yes, we are taking it too far because there are several factors that contribute to obesity. According to an article written by Mayo Clinic Staff, obesity risk factors are also caused by genetics, inactivity, medical problems, and certain types of medications. Obesity can occur by many factors, not just a fast food intake. There are several risk factors for obesity even though fast food restaurants are to blame.

Fast food is the reason to blame for obesity. Food made and prepared in a matter of minutes should certainly raise some flags. ---- Roberto De Vogli states in “”globesization’: ecological evidence on the relationship between fast food outlets and obesity among 26 advanced economies” that “ the diffusion of ‘fast food restaurants’ resulting from rapid global market integration (Hawkes 2009) and trade liberalization policies (Thow and Hawkes 2009) seems to be one of the key contributing factors behind the sharp rise in obesity”(395-396). Getting greasy foods for dirt cheap and consuming they quickly can certainly cause harm. Whereas the fast food industry is good for the economy, one can prevent obesity by using healthy eating habits given that one can avoid it by not eating fast food.

Obesity now has a different definition rather than the generic definition which is simply being overweight. The new words that have taken over the definition of obesity is disease. The change in words is due to the increase in health problems that are affecting the obese in the world. The rate of obesity is measured as 30% of adults and 17% of youth in America alone are obese. Within these groups the risk is that they have not changed from 2003 and 2012. Michelle Johnson. This is what made the attention and focus put more on fighting the diminishing nutritional value of the food given to students and youth in America. The only good sign that shows some glimmer of hope of decreasing the rate is, the decrease is

There’re are many reasons why the blame of obesity is put on the fast food industry also why the blame is to be put on the american households. In my opinion the blame is to be put on the fast food industry due to my reasons and multiple research papers done on this topic. However I Am not telling you should listen to me but listen to what you think is right. The ways the fast food industry bring people is amazing although it can damage the way our youth think in the future. For how long are we going to let this monopoly go on before we decide to take charge on how our food is being showed to

It has been documented that portion sizes in restaurant chains has increased over the past thirty years. Also bulk packaging foods , in supermarkets has become larger. The increased portion sizes are responsible for part of the obesity academic. Also in our society, families are eating out more often.
