Fast Food Nation
In the film Food Inc, there were several topics that were discussed. One topic that I thought was interesting to me was about the fast food industry in America. Americans purchase an average of 3 fast food hamburgers each week. McDonalds is the nations largest company in beef, pork, and potatoes. McDonalds operates more than 30,000 restaurants in 100 countries on 6 continents. The obesity rates have increased on American especially young children. Obesity had lead to various diseases such as diabetes. Diabetes has increased in children and teens from ages 6-19.
This issue is important because it is effecting the health od adults and children everyday. Fast food is high in calories because of all the grease, salt, and sugar. Everyone eats fast food because it is quick and taste delicious. Most of the food is processed and heated up and served to customers. Also, it lacks nutrients because of the total fat. People who are overweight need to eat more healthier foods and exercise to lose weight.
I think that fast food prices need to be increased and healthy food prices should decrease. Americans would spend less money on fast food and spend more money on heathy food. If the price of the food is raised, than more Americans wii eat healthier. Healthy foods are expensive in grocery stores and this is a reason why American families eat at fast food restaurants. Everyone should make the right decisions on food choices and they will start to see a change in their life.
