Fast Food Contribute To Obesity

Improved Essays
Fast food has been around for some time. Many people say it’s the only thing that contributes to obesity in America. But, is it? Around three years ago, many fast food chains were promising that they would try to contribute to help fight Childhood obesity. Although it was promised, studies have shown they have fell through with their promise. They’re not fighting like they should. I believe that more things other than fast food contribute to obesity, but fast food is cheaper than buying healthy food from the store. All Fast Food chains since then have been advertising that they’re making healthier food menus. They will advertise that they’re using ‘real meat’, or ‘real cheese’, but was it fake before?

The antibiotics is harmful to human health. Along with the chickens, they no longer sell milk from cows that were treated with anytime of hormones. McDonalds is offering healthier choices such as apples and ‘cuties’, or oranges for Happy

    While cooking the burgers, we made sure to cook them enough in the oil so that an outer crust formed on the patties. Based on texture, a high quality burger should be moist, tender, crunchy crispy crust, and should hold up well. The sweet mama burger was moist, tender, and had a crunchy crispy crust though cooking. Because our veggie burgers were vegan we were not allowed to use eggs to bind the veggie burger mixture together, instead we used flax seed meal and water which forms a product that resembles an egg. We used a flax egg in our recipe and it helped prevent our burgers from falling apart.…
