Fast food nation

1. Fast food effects Americans much more than they realize. Besides all the obvious health issues fast food brings up, it also does much more. Socially It makes some further away because its easier, cheaper, and faster which makes meal times with the family less desirable. When it comes to responsibilities there are a few things people should be able to do for themselves. Cooking should be one of them, when people get use to eating out they have less opportunity to cook for themselves or make a solid schedule unless it involves eating out daily.

2. After reading I realized many other horrible things fast food is responsible for. It has changed our whole economy and demolished independent businesses. Now days mostly everything has been turned into a franchise or chain. Obesity has also become a growing problem in America more so than ever before. Companies are using synergy to make kids want to come in to McDonald's. They combine forces together with toy companies to get toys for McDonald's,more sales for the companies, and bring in children and family's. They use toys and play places as a lure for children bringing costumers in at an early age who will then bring there children in for the fun they remember.
