50% of Americans are fat/obese. This is quite a staggering statistic when considering the size of the continent. I remember being in America and driving home (hotel) at about 3am in the morning. I was struck by the sight of a Dunkin Donuts all day drive through in quite a remote area and even more surprisingly there were a few cars waiting to get their fill of either late night satisfaction or early morning bliss (whichever way you look at it). Even more telling was the sight of the customer currently at the window. He was HUGE. I mean the way I remember it he was struggling to get both hands over his belly to collect his pack of 24 donuts. America why do you do this to your people?
Anyway some people claim fast and junk foods are instrumental to society as they keep the general masses fat and lazy. I mean who wants a country full of lean and mean people rearing to go at any opportunity. Right away you would have twice the amount of protestors, twice the amount of environmentalists and more people in general would be conscious of ongoing issues and more willing to question the government.
Others simply think that fast food joints run the world and they fund wars inorder to get their grubby hands on the local market. The truth is that just having a franchise in any given country doesn’t achieve their aims..... oh no, the last piece of the jigsaw is to get the drive through. Thats when you know that the demand is seriously there and you can truly reap the benefits of a nation slowly punishing themselves to obesity.
