Everyone likes Big and Fast Food!!

I'm from South Korea. This is the first time to come the United States.
There are several things that make me suprised. Especially food what Americans usually eat makes me suprised!!

Many fast food franchise are located in everywhere in America. Wendy's, McDonald, Cover's, DQ, Pizza Hut, Dominoes, KFC, Burger King, and so on. Many people enjoy to eat from these restaurants. Even I loves these places. I got weight 10pounds since I came America. I can control my diet but it is too hard to control what I'm eating because there are a lot of fast food around me.

I never seen that extremely obese people in my country. My country has many McDonald franchises. However, we are not usually enjoy this fast food. We know that these food make our health bad. Of course, Americans know that fast food is not good for health. Burgers made by mixed meats that consist of bad quality in the meat. French Fries fried by animal fat that include trans fat. Then, why they keep eating fast food? I still wonder why they like this food even they know that this is not good for their health.

There are many sweet candies in America. I think all the Americans love Marshmallow. However, it is totally fat whih cannot lose if peope run three times around the world. This is not a good fat. As for me, marshmallow is too sweet to eat two in a once. However, Americans can eat sweet food well and enjoy them. Also they enjoy popcorn during watching television and movies. Popcorn is famous food for having high rate of trans fat.

They don't have real home made food, I think. They usually buy the ingredient that already made first steps. To make pumpkin pie, they by canned pumpkin rather than real pumpkin. To make cake, they by already mixed cake mix rather than by raw ingredients. Already made ingredients also included many sweet chemical ingredients. These make people's health bad.

However, teens or young adults still pretty skinny because they do excersise or move around alot than what they take nutrition. Whatever they are skinny, they will get weight if they keep eating these fast and fat food.

These kinds of food make me suprise. The food include many sugar and fat... And many Americans getting weight withouth notice.

Americans like to eat steak and potatoes with butter rather than vegetables. Therefore, they have unbalance in their health. They need to take vitamins to make up nutrients otherwise, they will have health problems. They need to try to eat more vegetables.

We need to start to eat healthy!!!

  1. I definitely agree, as teenagers we DONT think about what were putting into our bodies and develop terrible eating habits. We are hurting our bodies, but we usually don't notice the effects util were adults and the damage has been done or were obese.

  2. Agreed completely. If Americans as a whole exercised for at least 1 hour a day, cut back on the fast food to a minimum of once every two weeks, and watched what we eat in general, we could really lower our obesiety rate by a staggering amount.
