Fast Food: Not Everything That Tastes Good is Healthy.
Most people these days are aware that fast food is not the healthiest food to eat, but people are still not responding to all the facts that say stop eating fast food. In fact, people generally eat fast food due to main few reasons; as it is convenient, inexpensive, and it usually tastes good. However, if most people knew truly what they are putting into their bodies when they eat fast food, surely the vast majority would rarely consume it again. Therefore, people should realize the hazardous consequences of eating fast food, and they should do whatever it takes to reduce their consumption of fast food.
One of fast food’s adverse consequences is that it causes a lot of diseases to human beings. In addition, Erich Schlosser in his book Fast Food Nation indicates that, “Every day in The United States, roughly 200,000 people are sickened by a food borne disease, 900 are hospitalized and fourteen die…” (195). In contrast with Schlosser, a lot of people do not think about the negative results of eating fast food. Moreover, the opponents claim that they do not have sufficient time to cook, and the majority of people eat fast food because it is quick and it does not waste their time waiting (Hitti, 2008). In fact, fast food can be quick and has a good taste, but Schlosser also indicates that, “If you enjoy strawberry milkshakes, you’ll be horrified to know that the version you buy contains nothing that’s been in the vicinity of a strawberry, and in fact the ‘strawberry flavor’ which is just one of the ingredients on the shake’s list, contains over twenty different chemicals in its own” (2002). This means that most of what we eat is artificial and unnatural. Fast food has negative aspects more than its positive ones. As a result, people should think twice before getting this food inside their bodies.
People cannot deny the fact that fast food has become a large percentage of a lot of people’s diets. However, there are many ways that a connection can be made between the obesity rate in America and the fast food industry be made. Fast food is generally more fattening than other foods and has become integrated into American lifestyle. Americans can get fast food cheap and it folds into the fast moving pace of Americans very effectively (Schlosser, 2002). As a result, no wonder that people should now distinguish the link and connection between obesity and fast food. In addition, one of the simplest solutions to this issue is just to stop this type of diet, and this solution does not mean that people have to stop eating fast food at all costs. This solution can have an impact on people, especially on those who suffer from obesity, as it will show them the right way of having a diet without feeling worse than before, so instead of having a Big Mac on the regular home menu, there should be fruit and vegetables to help with the diet. With some wise choices and understanding, this can be a simple solution for fast food and obesity in the whole world.
A lot of people might give convincing reasons to eat fast food. It is considered cheap, which can help people save their money, and that is probably the main reason why college students always tend to buy from fast food restaurants, so it can help them to save money for college tuition. Another reason is that going to a fast food restaurant is convenient to a lot of people. In fact, fast food restaurants can be found everywhere, which makes it easier for the person to go the restaurant that is next to his house. It can also be convenient to people who do not know how to cook, or do not have the time to cook. In a fast food restaurant your meal is always ready, and it tastes good without doing any work.
It is shocking how people think sometimes. They apply some unrealistic thoughts in their heads considering their health. People will buy pills at whatever cost if they think that this pill will make them lose the extra fifty pounds they gained while carelessly eating fast food without thinking about the consequences. They will always try to find an easy way out when it comes to exercising and avoiding eating fast food. The whole point of exercising is to physically move around and never search for shortcuts in order to burn the highest number of calories gained in someone’s daily life. People should exercise every day and should never believe all the advertisements and commercials that makes people believe that ten minutes of a certain workout will help them get the body they dreamed about, or even a specific pill will help people lose all the extra weight they gained and get the perfect body.
Some people claim that it is impossible to avoid eating fast food because it is convenient, cheap, and tastes good. However, in my opinion, nothing is impossible, and all what people need is a strong will and some determination. In fact, for those people who think that they cannot stay away from fast food, there are several helpful advices that can help people and guide them to what to order in a fast food restaurant. A lot of people think that drinking water while eating is considered to be a good way to eat healthy in a fast food restaurant, as drinking Soda drinks is the exact opposite as it increases the number of calories in a person’s meal. Another advice is to always watch the portion size of the meal being ordered and to order a salad with the meal instead of the French fries as they contain a high percentage of calories.
Some of the fast food restaurants acquire their meat from slaughters that treat animal cruelly. Not only are these animals often killed while they are in poor health, but also some of the animals that are slaughtered carry diseases, like mad cow disease that infects the beef fast food restaurants buy. Moreover, animals do not only cause diseases because of how slaughterhouses treat them, but what they feed the animals is completely awful, and it is a violation to the law against nature (Schlosser, 2002). The bad treatment of animals can create diseases to the animals and, therefore, cause diseases to those who consume the meat. In fact, a disease can easily be spread through food because one infected cow can end up in hundred different burgers, so that one cow causes hundred peoples’ sickness (Schlosser, 2002). However, people argue that some of the restaurants do not deal with these slaughterhouses, and they only buy beef from places that do not treat animals cruelly. On the other hand, it is hard to trust what restaurants say because some of the restaurant would lie about where they got their beef.
Although all these facts show that eating fast food is harmful, people still intend to eat it due to its taste without thinking about the consequences. Moreover, people in the future will hopefully see clearly how it is vital to stop eating fast food although trying to stop eating fast food can require some courage, but it is the only way to stop spreading diseases and eliminating them. Fast food can be a main reason for causing obesity, which is considered to be a problem for a lot of societies because it leads to many serious health problems such as diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, and strokes. As a result, I strongly believe that people should reduce their consumption of fast food, and they should think twice about how fast food can be harmful to both humanity and the environment.

Title: Warming Our World and Chilling Our Future
Specific Purpose: To inform my audience of the causes of the greenhouse effect.
Thesis Statement: Today I want to share what I’ve learned about the greenhouse effect and its major causes.
Introduction
Attention material: When Mark Twain was in London in 1897, a rumor reached the editor of the New York Journal who immediately wired his London correspondent, “HEARD MARK TWAIN DIED, SEND 1000 WORDS.” The correspondent showed the telegram to Twain, who wired back this message, “REPORT OF MY DEATH GREATLY EXAGGERATED.” This response applies to my speech topic today. Despite the efforts of some to write its obituary, and to erase it from the public agenda, the greenhouse effect is a growing, not declining problem. The reports of its death have been greatly exaggerated.
Thesis Statement: Today I want to share what I’ve learned about the greenhouse effect and its major causes.
Preview: We need to be concerned, first, about the loss of woodlands, second, about industrial emissions, and third, about overall spectacular increases in world energy consumption.
(Transition: Let’s begin by understanding more about the greenhouse effect)
Body
I. The green house effect is a gradual warming of the earth caused by human activities (Monastersky).
A. It is characterized by a high concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere (Anthes)
1. Each year five tons of carbon are pumped into the atmosphere for each person in the United States.
2. In 1987 the level of carbon dioxide soared to a record high level.
3. The nine warmest years in this century have all occurred since 1980 (Atkinson)
B. Carbon pollutants are producing a hole in the ozone layer.
1. The hole in the ozone layer reduces the earth’s ability to protect us from ultraviolet radiation.
C. If this problem is not corrected, we may see disastrous results.
1. There could be a dramatic climate change (Atkinson)
2. There could be serious health problems (Lemonick, “Ozone”)
(Transition: Now that you understand what the greenhouse effect is and why it is important, let’s examine the major causes.)
II. One cause of the greenhouse effect is the loss of woodlands that convert carbon dioxide into oxygen.
(Transition: Now let’s turn to the second major cause of the greenhouse effect)
III. Industrial emissions also contribute to the growth of the greenhouse effect (National Issues
Forums Institute 6)
(Transition: The last major cause of the greenhouse effect may be the most important.)
IV. Increased energy consumption magnifies the greenhouse effect (National Issues Forums
Institute 7)
Conclusion
Summary Statement: In short, if you want to know why we have a greenhouse effect, listen for the falling trees, watch the industrial smokestacks darkening the sky, and smell the exhaust fumes we are pumping into the air. The greenhouse effect is a monster we all are creating. And if we don’t stop, we and our children may face drastic climate changes and serious health problems.
Concluding Remarks: Vice-President Al Gore used the following story to illustrate how the greenhouse effect can sneak up on us. In an address to the National Academy of Sciences, he said, “If dropped into a pot of boiling water, a frog will quickly jump out. But if the same frog is put into a pot and the water is slowly heated, the frog will stay put until boiled alive. So it is with pollution. . . if we do not wake up to the slow heating of our environment, we may jump too late” (Gore, “Global”). The more we know about this problem, and the better we understand it, the more likely we are to jump and the less likely we are to be boiled alive.
