The movie “Super Size Me” is a great example to portray obesity in America. I definitely agree that obesity is not caused by the actual foods of restaurants and is, in fact, due to the actual person’s intake of it. Nowadays, it is all about immediate pleasure and fast food is what satisfies those who crave these wants. Yes, having no time to cook as Tran says, can definitely be an excuse; however I believe that a person is never TOO busy that they must eat out every day. If people would be more controlled of themselves, these problems wouldn’t have greatly taken on a major health concern of Americans. Tran stated that “If Americans continue to eat like this; there is no telling what will happen to our population and the serious health risks that will occur.” I most certainly agree with this statement and on a website called Obesity in America, a research stated that obesity in woman can lead to infertility in the next generation because the levels of the hormone ghrelin are low in obese women. This will definitely place a toll on population and also more health issues since the women who experience this must be obese and with women being obese, men are as well. In restaurants, when a huge plate of delicious food is sitting in front of you, it becomes quite hard to exist. I feel that the proportion sizes that are served in restaurants that Americans consume are much too big for what is said to be one serving, causing people to eat much more than they should without really realizing it. I agree with Tran that Americans need to “put on their Nikes” and start living a much more active life, otherwise our population will decrease, as the obesity website states, and Americans will all become obese and extremely unhealthy.
