"Fast food is the easiest," said Sarah Hudson, a 4-year-old American high school student. She is having lunch at McDonald's. "McDonald's is fast and delicious. If they produce healthy food, I won't buy it. " She eats fast food twice a week.
Now, every American eats about three hamburgers and four bags of French fries every day. That's 2520 calories. A person needs about 2000 calories in a whole day.
Most Americans know that fast food is harmful to their health. But it seems they can't give up at all. In fact, more and more people are eating fast food. Fast food restaurants are a part of American life, and 96% of American students know McDonald's.
It is not surprising that children grow up because they love French fries. In America, 33% people are overweight. This makes it difficult for them to walk, go upstairs and even breathe. They will encounter health problems in later life.
