Fast Food in America:Americans

eating their life away.

By :MaKayla Johnson

When it comes to fast food our country is VERY united.

According to Mr. Fatty Pants (my morbidly obese fast food expert), fast food is a way to attain diabetes and high blood pressure for a low price of only $4.99.Also it’s a way to attain a greasy and fattening meal on the go. Who wouldn’t love that !

What is fast food?

● High cholesterol● Immediate

eagerness when you see a Mcdonald’s sign.

● Rapid weight gain● Memorization of

fast food menu

Common symptoms of fast food addiction

The creation of Subway!

Subway was created to serve as a

healthier alternative to other fast food

chains like Burger King, Wendy’s, and Taco

Bell. But in reality that didn’t work out so

well. According to an article in Yahoo News

in regards to a UCLA study, while total

calories were slightly lower at Subway, the

average calories per sandwich purchased

and sodium content were both higher at

Subway. The Subway sandwiches

contained an average of 784 calories,

versus 572 at McDonald’s.

What has been done to make fast food healthier?

1. What is the target of your satire?

2. What aspect or characteristics of that target are you pointing out in your satire?

3. What about the target group would you hope to change?

Satire QuestionsThe target of my satire is the fast food industry and fast food consumers. In the satire I’m pointing out the disadvantages of eating fast food all the times and the health effects of fast food. Eating fast food constantly can lead to deadly diseases. I hope to change people’s perspective on fast food. Yes, it may be convenient but it also can eat away your life piece by piece. I hope people think twice about what they’re ordering from the fast food menu. Fast food companies should try to offer more healthier options like cooking their food in coconut or olive oils. Those are oils that are proven to be heart-healthy. In conclusion, I hope my satire will influence people to look at fast food in a different light.
