| Whose "Fat" Is It??!!
|
Okay… so I’ve just watched this movie/documentary called “Super Size Me”… For those of you who don’t know what that means… in US, fast food chains have developed this system called ‘super size it’… where they increase the size of your portion to an almost ridiculous size… seriously… So the show is about this guy who plans to do an experiment where he eats only McDonalds for the whole month… psycho!!! And this movie basically talks about the role that fast foods play in the increasing rate of the obesity epidemic… currently obesity is the second highest cause of preventable death in US after smoking… but at the rate people are “growing”… experts predict that it will soon take over as no.1!! Well… remember the news about this two American teens who tried to sue McDs for causing their morbid obesity… well… what do you think?? Should fast food companies take the blame for the increasing rate of obesity in our society?? Let’s see… well… they are partly to blame I guess because why do they have to serve such delicious yet extremely unhealthy food??!?! Damn!!! Then again… people should just resist the temptation to chew on a Big Mac or some fries… only pampering themselves once every two weeks or so… Then again even if we eat a relatively large amount of fast food… wouldn’t exercise keep us stable?? But who has the time anyway ;P!!! Hmmm… who else is to blame… well I guess that we have just basically ourselves to blame… I think mostly those who are overweight or obese can afford to be… you don’t see much obese people in Africa or Middle East… the fact that we’d rather spend so much of our money on junk food rather than invest it in something more beneficial… Furthermore… the way of cooking these days are just so unhealthy and the ingredients as well… I think time factor is another problem… people these days are just so busy sometimes they can’t even sit still for a proper meal and so eating out and eating fast is the key… but the only way to get food quickly is fast food of course… and it’s relatively cheaper than dining in a restaurant where they have proper food… even worst this culture is being implanted in the younger generation and will be past on and on… it’s really bad… Actually what I think is that food stimulates your brain and makes you feel better… delicious food anyway… there was one research where they tested a certain hormone in chocoholics… they found that if they stopped the hormone… the people will not be interested in chocolates anymore… it’s addiction…!!!! Such a terrible thing… This is such a complex issue… Sigh… Well anyway if you get the chance watch the movie... it's an eye opener!!! Cheers...
