Today we watched a new documentary on Netflix called History 101, where the first episode was about the history of fast food. Even though we all know fast food is bad for our physical and mental health, we would highly recommend everyone to watch it. Shocking numbers and unbelievable facts can change many lives.
The fast food industry began almost a century ago, and now is affecting every single person on the planet by bringing enormous amount of pollution. This industry is worth $570 billions - that is bigger than the economic value of most countries. Obesity was barely known to humanity before the era of fast food. Now, almost 30% of people In the world are obese or overweight. 63% of UK adults (aged 18+) are overweight or obese! American kids eat more fries than any other vegetables combined. We can see fast food restaurants on every corner, which makes it hard to resist, even knowing how bad is it. We can not forget that healthy food can be tasty as well, full of flavour and "finger licking good". Not only that, good nutritions mean more energy and less tiredness. The main idea of fast food was serving food FAST and CHEAP. In 2020 we do everything to make it equal and affordable for every pocket. Decide yourself, give it a try and tell to others how great you feel.
