According to the article “Let Them Eat Fat” by Greg Critser stated that fast food companies are increasing so aggressively by targeting of poor inner-city communities. Those inner-city consumers who purchase fast food are mostly young black men. However, because of their poverty they eat cheap meals when they are outside of home. Most awful truth is, those fast food companies offer cheap meals with the idea of supersize meals. But these types of food contains high amount of calories that can be harmful for young kids. As a result, physical activity among teenage boys and girls drops by about half.
Now a days fast food companies are widely spreading so aggressively by targeting poor inner-city communities. So, the question is who are buying those types of foods? Well, those foods are so cheap and generally in order to save money young people such as young black men are mostly buying these types of foods. However, those foods are not expensive it’s true, but it has high amount of calories which produce fat. Also, these types of foods taste so good and easy to eat. But, it has very dangerous part such as, it can disable physical activity.
Firstly, the economy is getting down and as a result people can’t effort good expensive food. Because of that, fast food companies are trying to get more money by developing smart idea. They try to convince consumers by offering cheap meals. As a result, consumers buy food from them in order to save their wallet. Those clever food companies such as McDonald’s they developed their business store in lower middle income area so they can attract more customers. They advertise about their cheap meals all over the city. As a result, people convinced to eat more from them. In one sense, it is very good to raise economy in such ways, but on the other hand people are gaining excess weight which can be harmful. In recent survey I have found that physical activity among young teenage boys and girls drops by about half because of the arrivals of such meals.
Secondly, to be honest I eat fast food and I love it very much. The reason I eat fast foods, its only because it is so tasty and very fast to eat. Also it is cheap to buy. Sometimes it is very hard for me to buy expensive healthy food. Because of eating too much fast food, I have gained extra weight. As a result, I became lazy. I can’t do hard work now. It seems I have lost my physical activity. I used to walk so many times in every morning. But now I can’t even walk more than five minutes. I am feeling so awful now a day. Also, there is another problem that is; I can’t stop eating fast food. Because when I go for work I have to eat something fast such as fast food. But I have realized fast food is bad for health. From now on I will try to eat vegetable as much as I can.
Finally, according to this awful situation, it is us who can change the world by avoiding unhealthy food. If we see our face in the mirror we can realize how much fat we are gaining everyday because of fast food. Having diet with the touch of good routine can save us from this problem. I think there is nothing wrong with having a healthy life. All we need to do just avoid unhealthy meals.
