In the past year, the adult obesity rate rose in 48 of America’s 52 states. Despite the campaigns to make people aware of the dangers of over-eating, about 119 million, or 64% of US adults are either overweight or obese. Worryingly, this figure is predicted to rise to 73% by the end of this year. What does this mean for America? Already 300,000 deaths each year are caused by obesity (only smoke kills more people), and the annual cost to the country is around $100 billion.

Many people blame for the fast food industry, along with sedentary life styles, for the worrying increase. The average American now consumes about three hamburgers and four portions of French fries every week. That’s 90 grams of fat and 2.250 calories (the average person needs about 2.000 calories a day). A recent survey found that every month 90% of America children eat at least one meal in fast food restaurant.

Most Americans know that fast food isn’t good for them. It is high in calories, fat, salt and sugar. Yet fast-food restaurants are part of American life.

It presented a modern lifestyle, and is still a popular place for teenagers to get together with friends. The food is cheap, and many say they love the taste. The advertising is often aimed at children, with offers of entertainment and free gifts.

Another in fast food sales – not only in the USA, but all over the world – is our increasingly busy lifestyles. In the past, families ate a home-cooked meal together at dinner time. These days, meals can be eaten at any hour of the day, and people rely on easy, instant food – not always nutritious – that is available “24/7”. America invented the “TV dinner”, and it is something most people around the world now enjoy.
5: ______
Finding nutritious food is also difficult in schools, which is often have contracts with fast food supplies and drinks companies. Teenage boys in the US each drink an average of 868 cans of fizzy drinks per year. Exercise in school has become less important too. A recent report showed that half of all US teens aged 12 – 21 got only America’s problem – Europe is also getting faster. It is estimated that over one million children in the UK are obese and this number has trebled over the past 20 years.
