PROSE & CONS: OBESITY

Pro:    

Con:




Who is to blame for all these deaths due to obesity, some say it is our "own choices" and others strongly debate it's the "Fast Food Companies fault for the deaths of Americans. There is a major war going on in America as we speak, a rising epidemic that is getting known to be known as a "silent killer" and it's name is obesity. Though it takes thousands of lives due to it's life threatening complications, it's one of the easiest diseases to prevent from ever happening in the first place. 
     Many people in the public believe that instead of blaming fast food companies causing obesity in America, we should blame "ourselves". When we walk into a fast food resturant such as Mcdonalds, we are choosing to eat there. You as a customer should take full responsibilty for making your own choices. You cannot blame anyone but your own self for gaining weight and becoming obese. Fast food industries only design marketing skills to get you to eat their product, but it's your decision whether you eat their garbage. Many people are fully convinced fast food restuarants are not to be blamed for the leading cause of obesity in America, but we should get a better perspective on what they contribute to the cause.
     Fast food companies do not do a real good job on telling you what the heck you are eating or being fed. For all you know it could be total crap with flavor so at least it taste good, but at the end of the day it is still crap being digested into your own body. If you would of known that fast food was high in sodium, trans fat, and sugar would you of eaten it in the first place? Why can't their be healthy fast food instead of heart disease, kidney cancer food? The problem is their are fast food chains at every corner, so constantly seeing food will of course constantly make you hungry. There has been many law suits and complaints to spread awareness on the dangers of fast food but the companies have done a very well executed job to cover those issues up.Why? Because if the public was more aware of the dangers of fast food they would not eat it via fast food chains go out of buisness.
    It's very clear there is no pro what so ever to obesity. Obesity can or will lead to high cholestral, heart disease, kidney failure, high blood pressure and or death. But the only way to avoid these issues is by our choices or to avoid fast food chains. What can we possibly do to end this rising epidemic before it takes one of our own family, friend's life. The answer is simple. We as a nation need to spread awareness across America so that every individual is aware that what they eat, what's fueling their body is the poison that could kill them.
