Fast foods consumption and obesity in USA

Fast food consumption has been increased since last few decads. Fast foods have more calories than required, high sugar, simple carbohydrates and high in fat, which eventually leads to obesity.
Obesity is cause of several chronic and fatal diseases including diabetes, heart disease, gall bladder disease, stroke, arthritis, fatty liver, joint disorders and some cancers.
Different studies have shown that in USA per capita (each person) calorie intake has been increased upto 300+ Kcal among the entire papulation from 1985 to 2002.
Fast food reduce the quality of diet. Children and young one are more exposed to the negative effects of fat food. In 2010, nearly $164.8 billion were spent on fast foods by US citizens, which was +3% amount as compare to 2009.
Janet and his coleages investigated the relation of fast food restaurants and obesity geographically. They observe three million child and expected women. They find out that in 9th grade students, if the restaurant is 0.1 mile in range, at least 5.2 %increase in obesity can occur, but if this range increases up to 0.25-0.5 mile, then no such effects was observed. While in women, if fast food restaurant is half mile away from their home, it results in 1.6% increase in obesity, which is approximately more than 20 KGS. These effects are more in uneducated African and American women. Comparatively, fast food cause obesity in child more than mothers.
Obesity in America has reached a crisis point. Two out of every three Americans are overweight, one out of every three is obese. One in three are expected to have diabetes by 2050.
The consumption of Fast food in america should have to be controlled. Children are the main target and these children are the future of america, so in other worlds, I am saying that the FUTURE OF UNITED STATES is in danger..
