So I’m wondering what people might come up with. Please feel free and help!
In my opinion it isn’t the restaurant’s fault at all.

A woman filed a lawsuit to McDonalds because she spilled coffee onto her lap and she said it was "too hot." McDonalds had to pay about 23 m.

Surely the country would be better off if we tacked it rather than just accepted it as a fact of capitalism and a complement of freedom. Can’t we be free without being fat? As a free market economy, nothing stops businesses such as Mcdonalds from turning us all into big monsters. Any ideas?

What are the direct causes?

- American eating habits?
- Mc Donalds / Burger king / KFC?
- Freedom??

More importantly what can we do to tackle it?

So I’m thinking about eating trends before we had an obesity problem. I’m trying to lose weight and I think looking at how we use to eat will give a lot of good advice.

The first obvious one is portion control. When mcdonalds first opened, the kids sized fry we have today was the only one they had.

I’m not sure but I also think that we’re not finding enough time these days to chop up vegetables and make healthy meals that we eat slowly and enjoy. It’s usually rushing for fast food or frozen food.

What else has changed?

I read that 1 out 8 Americans will work at Mcdonald’s once in their lifetime.The average American will eat three hamburgers and four orders of fries this week. 90% of American children between ages three and nine will stop at a McDonald’s this month. 12% of American workers have gotten a paycheck from McDonald’s.

10 percent of the American boy’s calories come out of a soda can. If you can say "two all-beef patties special sauce lettuce cheese pickles onions on a sesame seed bun," and most of us can, you know how the selling of fast food has become part of the culture.

But did you know that the beef flavor comes from a chemical factory in New Jersey? Or that McDonalds, with more than 8000 private playlands, has transformed the art of marketing to children? Fast food has retooled our diets, but also the landscape of ranching and labor relations and real estate development.

You have to be especially careful when you eat in fast food restaurants. As the consumption of unhealthy This year Americans will spend over 0 billion on fast food more than they’ll spend on movies, books, magazines, newspapers, videos, and recorded music combined.

Every day about one quarter of the U.S. population eats fast food.

Roughly 12% of all American workers have worked at McDonald’s.

The golden arches are now more widely recognized than the Christian cross.

Children often recognize the McDonald’s logo before they recognize their own name.

American children now get about one quarter of their total vegetable servings in the form of potato chips and French fries.

The typical teenage boy in the United States now gets about 10% of his daily calories from soda.

The rate of obesity among American children has doubled since the late 1970s.

A fast food soda that sells for .29 costs the restaurant about ten cents, a markup of more than 1200 percent.

McDonald’s is now the nation’s largest purchaser of beef, pork, and potatoes. It is the second-largest purchaser of chicken in the U.S.

Hundreds of local slaughterhouses used to supply the United States with beef; today thirteen large slaughterhouses supply most of the nation’s beef.

A typical fast food hamburger contains meat from dozens or even hundreds of cattle.

Because fast food is so highly processed, much of its flavor is destroyed, so the tastes of most fast food are manufactured at a series of special chemical plants in New Jersey.

Chicken McNuggets contain beef additives, while McDonalds French fries derive some of their flavor from "animal products."
are we a fast food nation,what is your opinion or thoughts?
