Moreover, the amount of obese and overweight people has skyrocketed even more over the last ten years, so has the consumption of fast food. Obesity is now being categorized according to individual’s body mass index (BMI), which is calculated by the weight of the individual divided by his or her height. (De Vogli 99). Studies have shown higher income countries with welfare regimes have a higher prevalence of obesity and easier access to fast foods. (De Vogli 99). Fast food is an energy dense food, mostly consisting of fats and sugars, which are not necessary for dietary consumption. (Marano 45). In the United States about 34% of people from ages 20-60 are above their target weight, with a BMI of 25-29.9. 33.8% are obese and have a BMI of 30-39.9, and 5.7% are highly obese with a BMI of over 40. This renders almost one-third of all Americans at or below their target weights (Ogden).

Around forty years ago obesity would not effect this abundant number of people; however today’s society consumes more fast food in addition to spending most of their hours doing sedentary activities (Green). There are now many causes of obesity such as environment, genetics, bad habits, culture and economic level. Obesity has many negative impacts on the human body.
