Fast-food
restaurants; for most Americans, you can't live without them, but can you live
with them? They dot the landscape of our country, city after city, but
with a nation on the run, with countless single parents, or couples trying to
split time between work and the demands of a heavy family schedule, those
fast-food restaurants can offer a quick and often cheap, filling meal.
Fast-food restaurants are not entirely to blame for our nation’s growing weight
problem. Many offer healthy options, but studies show that most of us
turn them down because of other reasons. As a result, we are facing
obesity as an issue. The combination of lack of exercise and high fat
foods is causing us to be obese. The long-term problems of obesity are
great. They include heart disease and diabetes. The bottom line
here is we have to do whatever we can to control obesity.
