My thoughts We discussed not long ago whether America was to blame for the world's obesity in my first language, and I decided to write something about it in English. Well, what I've written is just a post, so I tried to make it look a bit independent. I mean I didn't try to write a formal essay.
"One member decided to carry out a poll to find out what others thought about the matter/to get other people's opinions.
I don't think we can say it's America's fault. If the USA hadn't originated fast food restaurants someone else would have done it. When this type of food was only beginning to appear, it was absolutely clear that there was a desperate need for something like this. The life was changing very rapidly: it was getting faster and faster; most people just didn't have enough time to eat properly - that's, to eat healthily. Now that many are worried by obesity we often speak about how bad this type of food is. People have even inventend a new expression for this food - junk food.
In my opinion, nothing can now stop people from going to fast food restaurants.
Though you can always choose where to eat. Even if you don't have enough time or/and money you can almost always find a place that suits you just fine." |
