SUPERSIZE ME: It 's Tıme to Stop Blaming Fat People for Their Size

The article is about obesity and what the reasons causing obesity in the United States are. The writer argues that instead of blaming people for being overweight, health officials have turned their attention to what has been termed our “obesogenic” environment, a new set of conditions that has made it much easier in the last few decades for people to gain weight.

There are some reasons for the obesity. Firstly, calorie-dense foods are far more readily available ever than before. Food in the US is cheap and plentiful thanks to widespread affluence and agricultural subsidies. Since people are so busy, they eat fast-food to gain time and since both parents work, there is no cook at home and family members goes on food outside the home which much of them high-fat. Second reason is gradual increasing in portion sizes. While the original 1960s Mc Donald’s meal contained about 590 calories, now it contains 1550 calories. That’s about three quarters of the recommended daily calorie intake for an average woman. Lastly, there is a great deal less access to physical activities than ever before.  According to the Centers for Disease Control, one third of US secondary-school students fail to get enough physical activity and over a tenth get none at all. Walking is a simple activity for prevent the obesity but people prefer to go everywhere by driving anymore. 

In conclusion, while there are so many external factors affecting obesity, blaming fat people for their size is not true. The authorized people and institutions should take the necessary precautions. 

In this picture, we can see the physical effects of obesity. However, obesity can cause effects on a person not only physically but also mentally and emotionally as well such as low self-esteem, be ostracized by peers and loneliness. Obesity affects people deeply so not to be an obese, people should care about themselves. To prevent obesity, they should eat balanced, they should consume properly fast-food or junk-food and they should make activities such as walking and swimming.
