Playing Ketchup...Why Fast Food Goes to Your Waistline Fast

We as a culture want everything fast. The internet can get us any information we need fast. Cell phones and text messages allow us to contact anyone, anywhere, anytime. We want our food just as fast. It used to be people used meals as a time to sit down and bond over good conversation with those they care about. Now, it's something you buy in your car and scarf down on your way to somewhere else.

Not only is this food fast, but it's FATTENING! It's been studied that men and women should eat roughly 2,000 calories a day: less for women and more for men. A McDonalds big mac has 590 calories! That's over 1/4 of the daily calorie intake for the average American.

Not only do we eat like this and not even think twice about it, but we're PROUD OF IT! We have websites bragging about the obscene amount of food we intake and show it off. No wonder why the world hates us.
