I am FAT

Ok I agree I am Fat. And I have to say that America has made me FAT. If you eat junk food every day, you are bound to get fat. So what exactly is Junk food ? In short, junk food is any kind of food not intended to be part of a balanced nutrition. It doesn't have to be "bad" for you, it just has to be something created mostly for satisfaction than nutrition. Satisfaction is the keyword here. It satisfies you fast , It is mosty cheap and it is readily available. Thats what makes it a staple diet for most americans. It is definitely not nutritious and it is fattening. I gained around 20-25 pounds and I can safely blame it on the junk food that i have been eating. These Days I cannot even face the sight of burger and fries.

Thr have been days when I had a Hotdog,HamBurger and a coke in Cafeteria for lunch and had dinner in Mc Donalds because I was too tired to cook after a hard days work. I know I am to blame for all the fat I am going to carry back to India with me but I am not that worried because I am sure I will burn it off as life in INDIA is much more active, but what about these americans. They r getting obese day by day, all these fast food giants make attractive advertisements people r caught in their trap and Junk food is definitely addictive if you are lazy and wanna just satisfy your hunger.












It is a big commercial market and companies like Mc Donals, Wendy's and KFC etc are sucking up people's bucks. Consumers in US spent about US$146 billion on fast food in 2006. The picture above is a typical neighbourhood in america. Competition among fast food giants all along.

At last I would just say God save the americans otherwise they would just burst out one day with all the junk food consumed :P
