5.) Suppose Fast Food in America never existed. What might be different in the USA today?

If fast food never existed there would probably be a smaller number of overweight people and more people would probably eat healthier.

6.) What conclusions can you make regarding fast food after analyzing the data?

After analyzing the fast food data I realized that all fast food might not be completely unhealthy. As long as you choose the right foods it might not be so bad for your body. Every fast food place has healthier choices but, it's up to you whether you eat the right foods or not.


 * __Reflection:__**

The movie "Supersize Me" has taught me about serving sizes, portions, and why you should eat healthy. This movie relates to my job because i need to know about how to eat healthy and how to control what I'm eating.

Morgan went through drastic changes during his McDonald-ization. He became much heavier and his apperiance got worse. Morgan became depressed and he felt slow and tired almost all of the time. Morgan Spurlock became less social and he took a cab everywhere he went.

McDonalds lures young children by commercials, advertisements, and their famous charecter "Ronald McDonald". I definantly think McDonalds does cater to children because most of their customers happen to be young kids. Children love their food and they feel happy in that enviornment. In "Super Size Me" they showed pictures of very famous people including George Washington and Wendy. The only one 100% of kids recognized was Ronald McDonald.

When one speaker said " Is fat the next tobacco" he ment is it as dangerous as tabacco. He related it to tobacco because being over weight can kill you just as much as tobacco can. He simply ment, eating is as hazardous as smokeing.

Sensible portions are a small or medium fry and a small or medium drink. Supersized portions aren't necisary. I think supersized portions are just meant to make more money, and that they aren't necisary for anyone no matter how old or big they are. Portion size has changed becauseas time goes on portions tend to get much bigger.

I have learned so much watching this movie. It helped me realize that obesity is a bigger problem then most people think it is. I also learned the right portion sizes and that supersized portions are really unhealthy. This movie has helped me so much with my career and will help me as I keep moving forward.
