summary of essay stating that there are alternatives to fast food(against Zinczenko’s claims):

Some say that there are no alternatives but for families on a really tight budget to live on fast food. They state that the only way to survive is to live on fast and cheap food. However, that is not the case as others state. Other claim that one can easily go down to the grocery market and buy some basic materials to compose a healthy and decent meal.

Is being overweight an actual medical problem? Or is it just a common stereotype held onto being an American?

Statistics do claim that the percentage of population having Type 2 Diabetes increased dramatically. Even the amount that is invested into the cure for Diabetes has increased from 2.6 billion, which was almost 60 years ago and 100 billion, which it is today. However comes to the other question whether it is just cultural stereotypes. Does the statistic above directly result from the consumption of fast food or could it be a different factor? Is it true that all Americans become obese because they eat fast food or can there be Americans that consume fast food and maintain their shape?
