Who's the blame for Jason Villacampa waistline? Jason was a 19 year old student from San Francisco who stands five feet, six inches and weighed a "fatty" 255 pounds. That is a good 80-100 pounds too much. A lot of obese men like Jason, 20 million to be exact, blame themselves. These obese people blame their genes for the problem. But Jason wasn't so sure. Yes, he admits he ate large amounts of unhealthy food, but he points out that he had many partners in crime. Just like every other mom in America, his mother told him to finish everything on his plate. Just as Jason's mother said, "Think of the starving children." Unfortunately, over the year

When a person has diabetes, the first thing you would usually tell a person is to eat less sugar. According to diabetes researcher Dr. James Anderson, chief of endocrinology at the Veterans Administration hospital in Lexington, Kentucky, "sugars not the big problem. Fats the problem. The major problem is that they are high in fat" (Willet 181). Dr. James goes on to say that the fast foods are so packed with calories from fat that they should be a concern for anybody with a metabolic disorder. He also suggests that people need to cut down on all that bad fat.

Another solution to this get away from the fast food phenomenon is to change eating habits. A great way to start those habits is to stop eating at fast food restaurants, and start shopping at supermarkets and eating at home. For instance, if your on your way to work, it may be a good idea to bring small cans and boxes of fruit juices, cups of yogurt, of raisins, wheat bread, and small amounts of low-fat meats that makes your lunch easy and nutritious. Jason, for example, works in an office in Downtown San Francisco, has a microwave over that uses very wisely. Jason says that he usually brings raw potato (According to Jason's personal trainer, sweet potato is rich in victims A and C) to work because it doesn't drip or spill and requires no special container. All he has to do is stick a washed potato in his backpack and heat it up at lunchtime. Another positive aspect that microwaves has to offer is that they take away from the leftover taste. So if you cook something the night before, like a homemade, healthy fish or chicken etc., then you can still taste the same flavor the next day. Jason also suggests that if you are traveling with children, packing a lunch not only saves money, but also sets good examples. If you pack tuna fish sandwich on whole grain bread, and bananas and grapes, kids and even adults will learn to enjoy healthful foods and are likely to develop good eating habits that fast food restaurants don't emphasize.

Jason's father died of a heart attack, for he suffered a cardiovascular disease from high amount of fat and cholesterol in his system. Jason's father was a truck driver who would work until five in the morning, so only fast food franchises such as Jack in the Box and McDonalds were open. Jason's father the his average of four to five servings of French fries a week, for he didn't feel as if he needed to bring a "dull" sandwich with him. After that tragic incident, Jason now has his weight under control. He joined a fitness club and watches his calories and fat. But the task wasn't easy, for Jason went through the threat of heart disease, diabetes, and a premature life. And for this, he's not just mad at himself, he is also mad at the fast food franchises that sold him the unhealthy food that he wasn't even warned about. Jason said sadly, "I was taken in by these horrible images. I had an accomplice." Like Jason, millions of Americans are victims of the fast food industry's "secrets" behind their food.

s the plates he cleaned grew bigger as restaurants and restaurants increased portion sizes. Little did Jason nor his family know or notice that his waist line increased along with the increased proportions. They were all taken in by the quick, cheap, and tasty fast food that the fast food industries sold.

If there is one smell in your mind when you walk by a fast food restaurant, it is the smell of grease. A fast food restaurant without the heavy fragrance of grease is like a bike without wheels. When we smell the fragrance out of a McDonalds, we get the tendency to go inside and get a juicy, greasy burger. Of course, a few greasy value meals won't cause anything worse than a little heartburn. However, someone who eats rich, fatty foods from childhood through adulthood stands a high risk of developing the most serious and sometimes fatal diseases such as: heart disease, high cholesterol, cancer and diabetes.
