Obesity and Fast Food

              In Eric Schlosser book I found some important ideas like the one in page 241 where he says “Obesity is now second only to smoking as a cause of mortality in the United States”.  The epidemic obesity that began in the United States during the late 1970s is now spreading to the rest of the world, with fast food as one of its vectors. Pg.  242 “I think these ideas are important because it affects us all. Obesity has increased enormously, especially after   war world II   because of the birth of the fast food industry.  After the war Americans started consuming more and more fast food, but this is not a problem only in the USA it’s a problem that is spreading rapidly through out the whole world. For example China’s overweight teenagers have triple in the past decade the same problem is affecting Japan, India and also Great Britain. Now fast food is more accessible to all kinds of people prices are not too high so people keep consuming it in large amounts. The only thing they don’t realize that consuming those high calories, sugar and salt food is making them obese which can develop a lot of health problems like heart disease, breast, stomach and colon cancer, diabetes, arthritis high blood pressure infertility and strokes .Animals are not designed to eat other animals.
