If you made memorable impression on companies at the career fair, many of them would invite you out to dinner at some of the best restaurants. When I was invited to these dinners, we went to a restaurant that allowed you to pick the exact fish you wanted to eat and then went on to prepare it for you. Calamari, lobster and oysters were among my favorites. These dinners provided me with the opportunity to taste exceptional food while networking with major corporations. This visit to Boston was one of the more memorable trips that I have ever been on.
Fast Food Craze Fast food restaurants today are either kiosks or recognizable quick service restaurants. Franchise operations such as McDonalds and Wendy’s have generated restaurant chains that offer standardized meals across the globe. Because of their affordability and popularity, fast food restaurants and drive-through outlets are popular. Also known as “sit-ins” and “upscale kiosks”, these restaurants cater to extremely busy adults by creating a distinct ambiance in which people feel comfortable. Very affordable, they may seem attractive to anyone hoping to save time and money, but ultimately fast foods slow us down.
Rhetorical Analysis of Super Size Me Fast foods are one of the leading causes of major problems like obesity for many Americans today. An average man, Morgan Spurlock, decides to conduct an experiment dealing with the effects of consuming too much fast food. The film Super Size Me, a persuasive documentary following Spurlock’s experiments, aims to show the danger of fast food, particularly focusing on McDonald’s food, on consumers’ health. Its purpose is to bring awareness to the public about corporate responsibility concerning the food consumers eat, such as McDonald’s, which makes them overweight. In his documentary, Spurlock eats only food from McDonald’s for a month (thirty days) to see how his health can be affected and he is examined by three doctors before, during, after the experiment.
Why walk to the store when your car is just sitting in the driveway? Why cook a healthy meal when Burger King or McDonalds are five minutes away? Why do some recreational activities outside when your favorite television show is playing all day long? Today’s environment has helped people to become extremely lazy and resist the forces that work against their own good health. For example, the environment typically features structural factors such as impractical transit systems, towns and cities dependent on the car; desk jobs and non-physical recreation such as TV watching, video-gaming, and web-surfing; and a savvy food industry that has hooked the public on a great deal of unhealthy food items.

Now days everything is more convienent to us because it seems like there is a McDonald’s on every corner, and a Jack-n-the-Box on every exit. In the article “Kentucky Town of Manchester Illustrates National Obesity Crisis” by Will Haygood, he demonstrates an example of the reason why America is one-third obese.

I walked to the restaurant and noticed my co-worker sitting outside at a table on the restaurant patio next to the busy sidewalk. I wave to her and quickly join her at the table, which was the corner table next to the gate dividing the patio with the sidewalk. The waiter brings out a complimentary bowl of pita bread and hummus then takes our drink orders. It was a typical restaurant setting; tables full of patrons and crowds of people walking inches away from us going about their evening. Before I knew it, an arm flashes in front of us and swipes a hand full of pita bread off our table and runs off.
Obesity: Society’s epidemic Since the introduction of fast food in the 1980’s, obesity rates have risen due to a variety of factors.
