Fast Food

     On September 27, I attended a lecture which was given by Eric Schlosser. From the lecture, I knew more about fast food industry. It helped me to think about what I am eating. Although I think that fast food should be banned in the United States, it is hard impractical to do it. Admittedly, I think that there are something should be done in the United States.

     Firstly, I think Americans should know more about fast food. The two main reasons of why fast food is famous in the United States are the cheap price and the saving of time. Most people believe that eating fast food is convenient and cheap. There is something they do not know about fast food. The most obvious harm of eating too much fast food is weight gaining. Teens as well as adults are at risk of disease related to weight. This information should be known by every person. Here, my suggestion is to promote this knowledge to public. Moreover, teenagers and adults should be educated about fast food. For example, children are cautioned against drugs. We could do the same thing to against fast food.

     In China, fast food, especially McDonald's and KFC from the United States, has brought a lot of impacts since the first day it arrived in China. I can notice that many people, especially the youth and kids like to eat fast food. In my view, Chinese food is much more delicious and nutritious than fast food. Chinese people should keep their own food culture
