Some of these practices include no warning labels on advertisements like there are on dangerous things like tobacco and confusing labels on food served that lead customers into eating more calories than intended. David Zinczenko advocates that it is some of the fast food companies fault for the decline in America’s general health. At the end, David chooses not to complain about the legalities, but instead encourages us to let the justice system do its work. In the article David Zinczenko discusses “Shouldn't we know better than to eat two meals a day in fast-food restaurants” we the people of America should know by now that it is

People are obese because of society that surrounds them.
My favorite vocabulary word is actually two words or a compound word to some: “Supersize”. I’d like to see this written in all caps on a giant billboard: Super-Sized meals are unhealthy, irresponsible and show your lack of self-control, but that’s ok because while you’re there killing yourself, we here over in corporate America are getting rich. Here have a coupon! 4. Pollan strongly tries to convey his comparison of (primarily) Americans obsession with “comfort food, such as McDonalds to that of a cocaine abuser, or some other narcotic.
It’s a very unusual perception but it’s the way fast food corporations would grow so much on business.

McDonald's is a favorite of many households in America and it seems that today people can't get enough of it. In the documentary called Supersize Me, Morgan Spurlock attempts to prove that the effects of eating Big Macs, supersized fries, and half-gallons of coke can be extremely dangerous to one's health. Spurlock goes through a thirty day adventure of eating only McDonald's food. He effectively shows to doctors, himself, and his audience that, fast-food eating Americans are in danger of destroying their health.

But do the Americans eat fast food because it’s quick and a timesaver, or because they’re lazy and making their own food would be an inconvenience? Over the years America has become increasingly lazy and lethargic, and in turn has become of the first words someone thinks of when they hear the term “American”. Not only does fast food serve as a prime example of America’s laziness, but the country has taken it one step further and is beginning to offer delivery at these fast food “restaurants”. Other items such as pizza and buffalo wings have also been available for delivery for quite some time.
The more a certain food is processed, the more mal nourished it becomes and, in turn, the more unhealthy it is. The problem with the American population is our eating habits have become accustom to these fatty, salty, and sugary items and it is why we crave and enjoy them.
