The American society today is built off of pure laziness. Based on Schlosser’s Fast Food Nation, we clearly see how Americans rely on quick and easy food like fast food or frozen goods; but, where did the problem really start? America’s laziness stems back to the industrial revolution when mass production of goods began to emerge replacing the use of manual labor with machines and factories. The industrial revolution created the city life that we know today. No longer was it the norm to live by the country side on your family farm. Suburbs started to form for the working man who no longer had to work on the fields to provide food for his family. Slowly but surely laziness in America is growing. Children no longer go outside and play games. Now, kids stay inside and watch television and drink soda instead of water for hydration. Junk food makes me feel very lackadaisical and lazy. Junk food is the main reason children today no longer feel the need to go outside to run up and down and play. The taste of Fast Food is addicting. I wouldn’t be surprised if they found some chemical in it that triggered a certain feeling in a person like a drug. They should open up rehab for obese people and specialize each rehab depending on each person’s favorite fast food place. A doctor should try figure out a cure for obesity, and I’m not talking about diet pills, exercise, or even getting your stomach shrunk; I am talking about medicine that takes away your desire to eat McDonalds and Wendys. I am sure it is possible and I’m shocked that nobody has tried yet. If the desire to eat junk was taken away then people would pay more attention to the quality of the food they consume instead of just the taste that lasts for a few minutes. The tastiness is temporary while the fat stomach and various ailments that are caused from eating junk like diabetes and many others are way more permanent. In order for health in America to improve, Americans need to do away with mass production of meat, move back to rural areas, and start farming once again.
