               From small to supersize fast food is majorly dangerous for different ages. One of the most fast food sold is McDonalds. The article “Let Them Eat Fat” by Greg Critter is about how fast food supersize meals are the most targets within cities and communities. I believe that supersize meals are cheap and are unhealthy for people that consume any supersize food is not the right thing to do.

                McDonalds have this major hit called the dollar menu. McDonalds and other restaurants make their food cheap and affordable for customers to consume. According to the article if the employer doesn’t recommend a supersize meal, the supersize meal is free for the customers.  If they order the supersize they would have to pay 29 cents more. Ordering food from outside home is easy way to eat something quick. For a person that doesn’t have enough time for a home cook meal the perpetration would take approximately 45 minutes, but there are people that don’t have enough time to cook when you make home cook meals you do know how many fats and nutrients you’re eating from a healthy meals rather than McDonalds.

                McDonalds and many fast food restaurants can be unhealthy to eat. According to U.S dietary, fast food meals consume over 680 calories to 1,340 calories. A normal healthy diet for females is 2,100 calories and for males is 2,300 calories. Teenagers are representing more than 1,340 calories with “adding calories themselves are protein –poor but fat a carbohydrate rich”. Teenager that consume over more than there calories factor don’t have an ability to be active with other teenagers. The re physical activity dropped about half with the teenage boys and girls. This leads to health problems such as heart attack, diabetes, high cholesterol and blood pressure. For example my brother always drinks soda and eats fast food every single day. He only weights 135 pounds, he may look skinny but he has a big health problem. When he visited his doctor on check updates they told him he has high cholesterol. The doctor recommended him to do exercise three times a week and walk more. Especially drink plenty of water and eat healthy foods.

                 In conclusion, fast food maybe cheap but it can lead to a lot of unhealthy issues to your body and health.

People don’t know what they do to the meat before they out it into the meat packaging.  In “The Meatrix” shows about the meat industry.  The agribusiness meat industries are taken over the farm industries. I believe that is really unfair to the animals and can be dangerous to humans.

The animal get mistreated bad just to feed human society. In the slaughter the burley hurt to animal buy hitting them ripping them in torn between. In The Meatrix they have shown that they cut the beaks of chicken or hens. When they cut the chicken and/or hen beak they feel for the pain over months. Not only with bird but also they mistreat the cows by cutting their tails. Animal feel the pain within weeks or month that can cause them infection towards themselves. Another example that The Meatrix shows that the animals are crowded on top of each other with no space to walk and living in the worst conditions. The pain and condition they live within every single day can cause themselves infection without knowing it would affect anyone.

Disease is caused the things we eat, the fist target is the meat. When the animals are torture and don’t have any good condition of living can produce infection. For example, in the year of 2009 there was an enormous infection called the swine flu. According to ABC news “the virus in pigs of Americas, the virus in the pigs in Asia -- got together and formed this particular virus that's now come into humans.”  Said Richard Webby, Ph.D.. This can be the cause by the antibiotic that the animals have been receiving to get the nutrients and cover the pain they been going thru months.
