Unlike David Zinczencko, I believe that there are inexpensive and heathy alternatives to fast food. Most people with busy work schedules Monday through Friday result to grabbing a quick bite to eat from joints such as Burger King or Taco Bell on their way home. One way to avoid this unheathy habit is to make a bigger meal over the weekend and use bits and pieces of it to create a plethora of new and easy meals throughout the week. One solution would be to make a simple meat and vegetable stir-fry and throw it over some rice for a great balanced meal. Another easy idea would be to throw a couple ingredients together in a slow cooker before you go to work and by the time you get home you already have a dinner ready to go. Overall, there are easy ways to break the habit of eating fast food on a regular basis.
I believe that the lack of available nutritional information at fast food restaurants has lead to obesity becoming a major medical issue. Most people who eat fast food on a regular basis may understand that the food they are consuming is bad for them, but they may not realize how bad it actually is. Today our society is more focused on what is fastest and easiest rather than taking the time to think about what is best for them or what they are doing to their bodies. This just goes to show that what people may think is a good decision at the time, will damage their body and can severely hurt them in the long run if they keep up the terrible eating habits.
These two summaries both point out that a majority of people in our society are lazy and resort to consuming a lot fast food. The first summary explains that this is unnecessary because there are multiple options that are equally easy and affordable. Whereas, the second summary states that being overweight has become a serious medical issue and unless people get their priorities straight then their health will continue to get worse and worse.
