Fast Food Makes You Fat



We have heard the arguments. Fast food makes you fat. Fast food is to blame for obesity.

Umm, no. We are to blame for obesity.

We are to blame for fast food. It is not fast food’s problem that we created it to be unhealthy and fattening allowing us to crave it daily. Fast food is not the blame, we are.

I light of this empathy project, I’ll empathized. Fast food does make you fat. I do not believe it should be blamed for the obesity epidemic because we created it. However, take humans out of the picture (which is stupid but roll with me) fast food can be to blame for the obesity epidemic. If fast food just appeared out of nowhere for no reason than yes it is to blame.

After eating just one Big Mac®, our heart rates increase and our digestive system is throw a little out of whack. After months and months of Big Macs®, well we have all seen Supersize Me, it doesn’t end well. Fast food makes you unhealthy and fat. It ruins your internal organs. It can lead to obesity which can lead to a great number of health problems. Fast food is a viable contributor to the obesity epidemic, but it is not the total blame.


I empathize with those that solely believe that fast food is the cause of obesity. It is an easy out. We all need something to blame and we never ever want to blame ourselves. We are the blame for the obesity epidemic because we have caused it by creating fast food and other factors that contribute including increased portion sizes with both fast foods and other foods. We brought fast food into existence and increased it popularity immensely. We crave it and pay money for it daily. We become obese and crave it more and more and more until cardiovascular diseases take their tole. We resort to the ease of a drive-thru instead of settling in the cook a natural healthy meal. We created the obesity epidemic. We are to blame, but yes in some minute way, but not really, fast food is to blame.
