Fast food, fedme og global ulighed

Ever since the very first fast food restaurant opened in 1919, the world has gotten fatter and fatter. We have started caring less about what we consume and more about the price. One of the biggest reasons for the obesity is poverty. Many families can't afford the 10 dollar salad and instead buy the 5 dollar burger. Fast food has become cheaper and cheaper while the healthy and nutritious food has become more and more expensive. The food-chains are helping the world eat their way to their slow death. Personally I think we should put more effort into stopping this issue before it gets out of hand.

The availability of fast food has grown larger over the past 20 years. At every street corner there’s either a McDonald or something alike. It’s not hard to get your hands on fast food, which can be a large problem for the consumers whom can’t control their addiction to the food. It’s a bigger debate whether or not it is the consumers own fault for eating fast food or it’s the fast food providers fault for misleading the customers into buying it. In the article “…Food giants are sued for ‘making people fat’ it says, like in the title, that a few of the consumers have sued the companies for misleading them into buying the food which have made them fat. I believe this might have been taking place I the US, considering the accusers actually went through with it and had a good chance winning the case.
