We are currently watching Supersize Me in class. It is crazy how dependent Americans have become on fast food. Before McDonalds became such a hit, the average serving of any kind of food was the size of ones fist. Since then the word supersize took over. Not only are Americans suffering from complications of obesity and unhealthy bodies, but McDonalds fast food restaurants are spreading rapidly across the globe. Over the past few years, McDonalds has been attempting to increase their list of "healthy" foods on the menu. Their attempt to adding healthy foods was a variety of three to four salads, and a fruit parfait which learning from the movie acually includes the same amount of calories and fat as a strawberry sundae. As for the rest of the menu, the only changes being made are increasing sizes or burgers, fries, shakes and soft drinks. I know once in a while individuals stop at McDonalds and have a burger and fries with no worries. It is the people who are addictedly revisiting McDonalds for multiple meals more than once a week that can be affected health wise in multiple ways. People need to let up on their McDonalds craving and start eating healthier and begin activites to keep their bodies healthy. Hopefully Americans can pull it together and can reduce the number of obese people.
