How is fast food affecting today's society?
|
|
|
In the last few years I have witnessed many people growing in size and the large amount of fast food outlets been opened. After witnessing almost every fast food outlet in every suburb, I decided to research what affect all these fast foods were having on people. I decided to investigate the kinds of people affected by fast foods, how it affects those people and why they still purchase it regardless of health concerns. Who does fast food affect? Fast food affects everyone in today’s world. Whether children, adults or the elderly, they would all have been affected directly or they have relatives who eat it. Fast-food outlets now say that they are too often described or pictured as scapegoats for child obesity. But research from “The Listener” magazine shows that one in seven pre-teen children in New Zealand are obese AND eat fast food regularly. But fast-food outlets only deny that they are to blame and say that it is a matter of choice. The main target for fast food companies are children. The reason for this is because children are easy to manipulate. Fast food companies have hit an all time low by targeting children in their advertising, products, and building facilities. For example, McDonald’s advertisements show kids eating their product, and being rewarded, the also give away a popular children's toys in happy meals or kids meals as well as including indoor playgrounds for children's enjoyment. My research has given me reason to believe that children are mostly affected by fast food outlets because they are so young and do not know the consequences. What effect does fast food have? The consequences of obesity are tragic. Obesity can destroy someone both physically and emotionally. Emotionally, a child can get addicted very easily. This can make them obese. They will no longer live normal lives.
