Britain: Are We Really Getting Fatter?

[NekkLe]

Fast food resturants going commercial, more choice in what you eat, cheap foods, ready meals, advertisement.

All of these contribute to the way we look at food nowdays. In London, you can't walk 2 minutes down the road without seeing a resturant. Advertisment also plays a key factor in food e.g, billboards, buses, trains, tv, internet, signs. There billions of pounds in the food industry and targeting a hungry audience with mouth watering ads will win the right to make them this kind of money.
This is why its hard to bring down fast food giants such as McDonalds, it was said to have taken a blow from the movie made about it and thats why they have a 'healthy' section and encourage that alot more now.
Britain i think work the most hours in Europe alone and when we get home we want a nice dinner, ready meals solve this, there quick to make, cheap and seem to benefit our lifestyles.
Its easy to sit infront of the tv all day, get a couple movies, eat, get bored, eat. Boredom leads to many things and eating is one of them. But being a 'couch potato' is down to yourself, its your problem, you either get up and go out or stay in all day and get fat.

Most of their "healthy food" is just as unhealthy anyway x]

The healthy section is there so no one can argue that all of there foods arn't fatty. But when you go to a fast food resturant, you eat a meal and it fills you up for about 20-30 minites and you want to eat some more. Its chemicals in the food that kinda don't 'quench' you hunger.

so say if you've gone out for the day shopping u go to mcdonalds, have lunch, get filled up, go shop some more, 30 mins later u feel hungry agen, go back and buy mc flurry

[NekkLe]

Yep, they always leave you wanting more.

The healthy section is there because the Governent say it's got to be there.

Have you tried any of it though? It's disgusting, Maybe they do this on purpose so we go back to eating their junk food.

Can't you imagine the owner of McDonalds being someone like Hurley out of Lost?

[NekkLe]

I doubt he/she/they arn't even fat, there probably really healthy and don't touch the stuff.
