US and its rates have become extremely high. No matter where individuals fall on the spectrum‚ we are a country that is obsessed with food. How can we improve the way we eat in American?

the footage is in black and white‚ compared to the rest of the film it seems that Moore has already begun positioning us.

I’ve never seen a vitamin in there‚ I think it’s just one big conspiracy to try and bring the fast food empire down. Companies like McDonald’s which were started by Americans living the great American dream are coming under fire for nothing. For example‚ a big mac contains 704 calories and for only a few dollars. It would take 41 cups of celery to get the same amount of calories‚ and at a huge difference in price. You can’t get that kind of deal from any healthy foods. The other big problem with

Alright so it’s actually very near the bottom of the list when it comes to a world-wide consideration of injustices. But still‚ being smart sucks.
