Study links sugared sodas with obesity

http://www.gazette.com/articles/study-62498-calif-sugared.html

The above two paragraphs news reflects the fast food culture led to the American childhood obesity.   There are something news the same with "Fast Food Nation" what we can read from the news about “Study links sugared sodas with obesity”.  For example, “In the mid-1990s, children's intake of sugared beverages surpassed milk. And for each glass of soda consumed per day, a child's likelihood of becoming obese increases 60 percent.” And “‘I have seen other kids who are allowed to drink Pepsi, and I honestly believe that's the reason why they can't sit still,’ Ravenscroft said.”

When we read "Fast Food Nation" we know about that many soda companies are targeting children through of advertisement.  Those soda companies not only advertisements in public schools, but also make a lot of toy into the happy meal to attract children to eat their food.  Their aim is to change children's eating habits, so that their market share remains the same.

However, according to a sweeping statewide study released, we know that soda is one of the — if not the largest — contributors to the obesity epidemic.  The government of SAN FRANCISCO is aware of this is a reason direct result of obesity among children increased dramatically in the United States.  “San Francisco has become the first major American city to prohibit fast-food restaurants from including toys with children's meals that do not meet nutritional guidelines.”  This is a fast-food industry on the legislative control activities in the great victory. 

In my opinion, fast food industry is a product of the rapid development of modern society of U.S.  The rapid development of the fast food industry has also changed the American food culture.  However, this is not a healthy food culture.  Fast food culture directly to American a sharp increase of obesity in the last 30 years.  “The study found that 24 percent of adults drink one or more non-diet sodas a day, and these adults are 27 percent more likely to be overweight.”  More hateful things, they will stretch the hands of the evil to children.  San Fran bans toys in some fast-food kids meals are correct.  Because it a good way to used from a legal supervision of the fast food industry.
