Obesity is very common in America, about 66% of American adults are overweight and almost 33% are obese, which leads to diseases heart disease, cancer, stroke and many other disease. Furthermore, consuming fast food is in my opinion one of the worst decisions we can make, the food may be cheaper but it directly leads to overweight problems, and it not only harms our body but weakens local businesses, farmers and in general the process they advocate involves the massive slaughter of animals. Ms. Lappe states that “…modern livestock production has shifted toward industrial-type production toward highly destructive overgrazing” (858). By consuming food from the fast food industries we support the destruction of the land and the poor conditions in which animals live, consumption is suffering. Furthermore, moving from consuming fast food to consuming healthier foods is in my opinion a transition that every individual should make since we cannot continue to support companies that literally destroy our world and our bodies with our products.
