blog: 17 The End of Overeating

    In "The End of Overeating" David A. Kessler states that mostly fast food companies come into question with their new products almost every six month, and they make people eat their products. However, he claims that some products such as Cinnabons and Starbucks Strawberries & crème Frappuccinos contain a lot of fat, sugar, and salt, and those elements make people addicted. Thus result of research on rats support Kessler's idea, and proves that how animals become addicted when they eat those food which contain fat, and sweet elements. In addition, Kessler advises one of his readers to not the watch TV programs that are about dieting.


   As a person I believe that fast food industry is one of the biggest industries in the world. They mostly come into question with their new products which are very popular among people. In this essay, I am going to explain the reason why fast food products are unhealthy, what kind of effects do they have on people, and why TV programs are not useful for people which contain dieting topics.

   New York is the one of the biggest cities in the World that is where you can find many different fast food companies almost on every corner. In New York, usually people work hard, and they only have an hour for their lunch. Therefore, people go to the fast food restaurants,where they can get their tasty food in 5 minute. Because of that, most of the time fast food restaurants come at the top of their list. Maybe we don't realize but those kind of food contains harmful element such as salt, sugar, and fat. If we consume a lot from those kind of food, it is going to affect our health on negative way. Those elements might cause very significant diseases such as diabetes, and blood diseases.

   On the other hand, those kind of foods make people addicted which contain harmful element such as sugar and salt. But still they use those elements in their product nevertheless they know how those elements are dangerous for people. However, I recently realized that those fast food restaurants have special menus for kids called junior menu which is extremely dangerous for our kids. I can't imagine what kind of disease they are going to host in their body or how they are going to addicted to those foods in the future. As we read in the reading passage, Kessler supports his idea by giving example a result of research on rats which proves that animal's brain react to these kind of harmful elements might be a good example for this topic.

    One another important think that I would like to mention is TV programs about dieting. I strongly believe that those programs have bad ways as much as they have good ways. I am definitely against those kind of programs. The reason why I am against is because, I feel that those kind of programs are being made by some companies to sell or advertise their products for people who have obesity problem. Any time I watch these kind of programs they offer different product but produce under the same company name.

    As a result, eating fast food is definitely unhealthy. My advise for people is that we have to eat healthier food instead of eating fast food even if we have limited time. Otherwise, we might be slave of fast food companies, if we keep eating their unhealthy foods everyday.
