You just finished eating your Big Mac,
when you start to hate yourself for getting fast food for the 3rd
time this week. You keep telling yourself that your done this is the
last time, after this no more. It truly seems like an addiction and
you need to get your fix, but once that “high” goes away you feel
guilty. You start blaming the fast food industry for having unhealthy
food, and that their the reason America is becoming more obese by the
day. But is it really their fault, have they been forcing you to get
into your car and drive to their restaurant and then shoving the food
down your mouth? No, they are simply a service that many people seem
to be using perhaps too often?
Day by day people are becoming more
used to the way things seem to happen instantly and appear right into
their hands. No longer is it the age where you truly had to work for
everything you had, and you felt good about that. In the past
families got by without having to have fast food for dinner, they
cooked home cooked meals every night and spent dinner as a family.
However I do understand that now parents are working multiple jobs
and scraping by with what little they have, so they can't afford to
cook dinners at home, not just because of the cost but they simply do
not have time between jobs and able to have a time to sit down as a
family.
Fast food makes getting the family or
yourself food a much simpler task and sometimes it is cheaper. The
problem is people are upset with the fast food industry for causing
people to eat unhealthy and causing medical problems. My question to
them is always the same, “Whose fault is it?”. Why is it the
industries fault when it is simply a choice, you can decide to eat it
but you can also decide to not eat it. This isn't a world where
everyone has to eat fast food and its the only food out there. If
your going to eat fast food thats perfectly acceptable no problems
from me, However there is one when you start to blame them for your
problems when the fact is your choices are the reason you have the
problem.
