NOW . . .Weve got the fattest, least fit generation of kids, ever. Why? Who is to blame? Is it personal responsibility or the fast food companies? The Problem 1 in 5 US schools sell branded name Fast Food Mc Donalds are the largest purchaser of ground beef, pork, chicken, lettuce, apples and tomatoes so they control the 80% of food production within four companies. Mc Donalds influence politicians in order to stop policies that harm themselves. Mc Donalds has a huge overseas market and it is often the target for anti- American feeling and attacks. 98% High Schools have soda machines, candy machines and sell foods high in sugar, fat and salt schools depend on the money generated from sales. Americans eat 13 billion hamburgers per year and if you lay these out in a straight line they would circle the Earth 32 times. Mc Donalds sell or give away 1.5 billion toys every year. They spend billions on advertising, mascots and cartoon characters to entice their audience to buy fast food. 19080s Mc Donalds largest producer of satellite photos so they can choose perfect locations of restaurants near to schools and traffic networks. Hamburgers got bigger in 1957 weighed 1oz and now they are 6ozs. 50 million Americans are obese and a further 6 million are morbidly obese. Why is this a problem? Physical Health Risks Obese people are 2-3 times more likely to die young. Being obese early changes the body chemistry and it is more difficult to be thin. More fat cells make the body vulnerable to disease. Sugar in soda causes a loss in calcium and tooth decay increases chances of osteoporosis. Obese patients have gastric bypass surgery a costly and risky operation. Teenagers left with poor self image and they are often teased and bullied for being overweight can lead to depression.

Poor Farming Practices Chicken farming birds are raised and slaughtered in half the time redesigned the chicken to have large breasts. Often painful to walk and can have heart attacks. Cruel practices are present in slaughterhouses. Companies own the birds and not the farmers and many farmers are left with thousands of dollars of debt.

Job characteristically has long hours, lack of health insurance The Solution Fast food companies can behave responsibly examples of a company called Burgerville that use fresh, local ingredients, pay workers well and give them benefits, include seeds and gardening tools as a free gift to kids.
