I usually stay away from fast food places. It is why I submitted the thread regarding Drive-In Diners and Dives (DD&D). Because why some people may reject big food at DD&D's at least it is real food.

The subject concerning obesity is complex in that there are a number of reasons. First it seems the definition of obesity continues to change. The BMI measurement has been challenged, the comparison of height to weight continues to be adjusted, etc. The causes vary from some of it being genetic, some poor eating habits, some lack of exercise.

When it comes to disease again there are related issues.

Finally it seems difficult to rely on the health claims of food companies, supplements etc. I mean WHO YOU GONNA BELIEVE
