The standards of fast food restaurants are higher in other countries. I used to live in England and the American quality is subpar and the excess quantity of food greatly differs from foreign countries. Our small is their medium size etc.Kids? Not as much, that's the responsibility of their parents in the vast majority of cases. Adults? Absolutely (unless you live in a food desert, but that's a whole 'nother conversation).
Obesity is high in America for a ton of reasons--easy access to junk foods, massive portions, a culture of individual liberty run amok, sedentary lifestyles, etc.
Hard to pin this all on fast food when other countries have easy access to fast food too.
All "kids" aren't created equally.And I understand this all lies on the individual but do you not think it’s important to educate kids on the quality of food their getting . Fast food should be looked down upon. I see absolutely nothing wrong with that. I also see there’s absolutely nothing wrong with having fast food once in a while. I just tend to shed it in a different light which people here really have a problem with
True and that’s a point I’m not debating but does that mean we should not try?All "kids" aren't created equally.
All kids don't come from the same background.
So you can educate kids all you want (nutrition SHOULD be mandatory in schools), but if their reality is their single-parent buying them SPicy Nuggets 3x per week, then all that education is somewhat being wasted.

there are creative ways in which people have been getting quality food to underprivileged children. Michelle was doing a wonderful job but it starts with education. And I personally feel fast food has been looked at in “good light” for far too long and unrightfully so
I think I was trying to tag you one time and he popped up."Aham"

In West Baltimore, literally half of the city, there is ONE name brand grocery store- Shoppers.ahat A aham Yep.
Take my area for instance.
Ward 7, DC.
Wards 7 and 8 house about 150K people.
There are 3 grocery stores that service those 150K people.
A lot of times those grocery stores are dirty, have old food, and aren't kept up as much as grocery stores in WHITE neighborhoods. (It is what it is).
Everyone can't afford to drive elsewhere to shop for food.
It isn't fair. It isn't right.
