Moreover, fast food is responsible for many forms of diseases which may include but not limited to diabetes, obesity, heart diseases, and hypertension as well as dyslipidemia. Most of our teenagers are fond of such readymade food which is affecting their health negatively. Thus, this essay will explore the theme “what is wrong with fast food. ” Specific attention will focus on examining fast food economically, spiritually as well as nutritionally with specific reference to Eric Schlosser's book. Eric Schlosser's depicts the way fast food has affected American landscape by widening the gap between the hoi polloi and the affluent, fueling obesity and other health problems and transformed the food production in America and different geological zones of the world (Schlosser, 3). Finally, in another portion of the book, Eric Schlosser's argues that fast food is bad because it is making people get sick.

Fast food is characterized by low nutritional content with high salt, sugar, and energy which is responsible for diabetes, obesity, hypertension and other forms of diseases (Schlosser, 19). All these elements are not suitable for people’s health, particularly to the children. Unfortunately, most of our children are fond of such fast foods because they are sweet and tasty not knowing the long-term effects that they may get as a result. Eric Schlosser's also talks about the lethal microbes that have invaded the food supply due to inadequate systems that could help to check the meat to ensure that there is zero contamination. Thus, eating fast food that lacks all the proper nutritional values may prove harmful to the body and the mind which consequently impacts a person’s spiritual wellbeing and making them weak.
