Imagine 6 whole years without them. (What was I thinking?!) Anyways, this article goes into depth about the roles parents have in their kids eating habits and how to veer them away from unhealthy junk…

of fast food. But why do Americans consume so much fast food? Americans consume fast food because it’s cheap, quick, and delicious. The most important factor is the price; most obese/fat people are below the poverty line(Levine), so if fast food was expensive, then they would consume a lot less of it.

disposal of edible food. One may have seen their friends throw away half of their uneaten food in the trash at school or see their parents dispose the fast food that’s about a week old. These scenarios are considered food waste and this is one of the main problems that America faces. If this problem continues, eventually, “in forty years when you order a pizza from Domino’s, they’ll just deliver it straight to the nearest dumpster” (“Last Week Tonight”).

Morgan Spurlock, Mr. Spurlock sets out to see just what effect eating fast food can have on a person’s health. Numerous questions are posed during the film, so it is difficult to determine the exact thesis of the argument.
