Chapter 10

In what ways might there be a connection between the obesity rate in America and the fast food industry?

There is a huge connection between the obesity rate in America and the fast food industry because people who eat fast food become obese. Fast food industry doesn't care about people's health, they all about making a big profit. So they will make food at a fast rate causing the food to be unhealthy and people are always in the rush in the United States so they stop by fast food joint. It has become a daily routine for some Americans to stop by McDonald's or any other fast food place and this is what causes them to become obese.


Why is obesity a problem for American society as a whole?


Obesity is a problem for the American society as a whole because obesity causes major health problems. If you are a person who is overweight, you are in a risk of getting heart disease and cancer. Also, if you are overweight, you can get diabetes and have strokes. Another issues that obesity causes is people making fun of overweight people. Especially in schools, kids would make fun of overweight teens because they don't fit with the crowd.
