Fast Food Problems

In the article Don't Blame the Eater, editor David Zincenko explains to the audience in New York Times, that it's not always the consumers fault, that they eat at Mcdonlads , KFC or Tacobell. It is also given that the rate of diabetes has doubled from obesity, since 1994. The other problem that he points out is that with fast food places, they do not label their food for calories, or give warning signs to prevent people from eating from these places especially to young kids and teenagers. In the future the government will make laws that will have fast food joints advertise the risk health, of eating at their companies.This will effect the American people because of rising health care costs, that the taxpayers will have to pay from obesity because of these companies. Zincenko thinks it plain and simple just provide labels on these products.

I agree with Zincenko with obesity in this country it's gotten out of control. These companies should be putting calorie labels on their products especially for children and young teenagers who are more prone to eat at these places. Not all fast food chains are like that for an example Subway doe's but out calorie labels, and they advertise on TV how healthy their food is but that's one a few. The other part I disagree with David is, parents should be responsible for their children's health. You can't blame it all on the fast food industry. They have the moral obligation to keep their children healthy. Why I picked this topic is because obesity has become a big problem in this country, and we need to take care of this problem.
