Fast Food Follies
Americans are fat. That’s a cliché. It’s also true, to a considerable degree. About half the young people in America are heavier than they should be, and that’s because they eat the wrong food, or they eat too much or too often. Or all three!
American doctors keep warning about ‘overweight kids’ and some things are changing, very slowly. However, a lot of habits seem to be very hard to change. They are part of the American way of life. Fast Food restaurants and fries are still the most popular things to eat … often as a snack between meals.
“I often come in for a burger after school,’’ says Billy, a teenager from S. Francisco. “I mean, it fills you up, and it only costs 89 cents! We come here because it’s a good place to sit and chat; and once you’ve had one coke, the refills are free!”. When Billy goes home, he will get dinner. “Something out of the deep freeze usually.”, he says.
Eating too much is not the only reason why people get fat; drinking too much has the same effect. In Summertime it’s so easy to drink too much. In America people drink lots of soda pop, such as colas, 7Up or Slice. The reason is easy to understand. Cold soda pop is on sale everywhere, in shops, cafés and other places. And compared to Europe, it’s very cheap. Each small soda contains spoonful of sugar. No wonder people get fat!
