Are fast food restaurants and frozen food ads really to blame for more people being obese? Most people in the U.S. live a very fast life. Most families go out to eat dinner to restaurants or buy food that are already made. I guess because they are so busy they don’t have time to cook. I don’ think commercials or ads are really to blame because its a choice. For instance Mc. Donald’s ads are both healthy and unhealthy, you can either choose to buy a burger with fries or a salad with water. I think ads are meant to show the consumer hey look this what we sell and here are some of your options. Maybe commercials are meant for when you have a craving of something different not homemade and they are just letting you what they have. Most people like to blame advertisement or restaurants in order not to take responibility of there own actions and its easier to blame others.
For example I have noticed the difference between parents that are from other countries and parents who were born in the U.S. Most parents from other countries take the time to cook homemade everyday, as for parents who are born here buy more from the frozen section and purchase food already made. In the lower class they buy more junk food such as sweets, chips, soda and pre-made foods. Or they go eat everyday to a fast food restaurant. As for the upper-class they eat more fancier food, but also pre-made or order form the near by restaurant. Both sides hardly ever serve homemade food because they get home tire from work and are to busy.
Most children ands parents are getting diabetes, and other related illnesses due to so much fat in there bodies, but its there choice the sad part is they are not letting there children decide to be either healthy or unhealthy because we have become a generation that we want everything fast and ready to be eaten regardless the consequences. We are more concern with material things then our health. I mean if we do eat fast food very often and wouldn’t like to become obese I think we should at least do sometime type of exercise or sport.
