Title: “Obesity: Fast food restaurant’s fault, or consumers?”
Most people become obese because of the types of food they choose to consume, or do they? Fast food restaurants such as McDonald’s and Burger King are extremely accessible to millions of Americans. When the majority of Americans have demanding job schedules, along with other responsibilities, such as raising children, it can be hard to find fast food that is healthy. People ultimately have to choose to eat what fits into their schedule, such as fast food burgers and fries, or not eat until they are able to cook a healthy meal. This fast food frenzy has made millions of Americans suffer from illnesses like obesity, which can lead to cardiovascular disease, along with other life-threatening illnesses.
Along with time constraints, another thing consumers can’t avoid is the fast food portion control. The size of a large fry and soda for example have constantly increased, insisting people will get more food for their money. Although this slogan may sound good, the only thing most Americans are getting are many illnesses due to the high-fat ingredients which they serve their meals with. Yes, you will get more food for you money, but doesn’t a doctor’s visit for high cholesterol and heart attacks out-weight that benefit? If fast food chains could work together on not only making their meals quick and accessible, but also providing healthier ingredients in their products, this could help out millions of Americans. Adding healthier ingredients at a bit higher cost would significantly minimize greater costs in the future.

Very good essay. Great way to put your own opinion in the essay!
I really enjoyed this essay. You focused on one part of the American diet, and you made it work well. I liked that you explained the American food crisis from the everyday American's point of view, in the sense that you pointed out why fast food is so appealing to people today (e.g. busy schedules). I do not think your essay has much to be desired. However, you could make it longer if you wanted to. That is optional though, since your essay stands alone well the way it is. I liked your solution; fast food chains should remain fast food for the convenience of the everyday people, but should serve healthier food. I had not thought of it like that before, and it is a really good idea. Overall, I enjoyed your essay. It was clear, to the point, and stated its case well. Good job!
