CAT 3

              According to the passage "Let Them Eat Fat", Greg Crister points out that how do the fast food  companies make themselves keep on growing up and the effects that bring by fast food. He says that everyone knows fast food is a bad thing for health, but what is the reason that the fast food companies still can be so successful? It is because they know who and where should be their target, For instance, the poor inner-city communities are the fast food companies' target places and the workers and the teenagers are their target customers. Furthermore, Greg Critser demonstrates that the fast food is far more important for the communties nowadays, so the companies keep on innovating and "supersizing" is appeared. However, we should recognize that the trend of fast food companies keep on incresing is good for the business and our economy, it is toxic for people because it will cause a lot of health problems on them.

             First of all, by using the passage "The total caloric content of the meal has been jacked up from 680 calories to more than 1340 calories," we can know that how much calories that we will receive when we eat a surprize meal. It is always much more than we need. Also, because of the calories added, people always contain a lot of fat and carbohydrate which is not good for health, but out of protein that which should be contain most in our body. As a result, people will have disease easily. For example, one of my friends, she eats fast food almost everyday, so her body contains too much fat that makes her not only over-weight, but also has a heart disease.

            Morever, people always have excues for themselves to eat fast food, just like fast food is convenient and cheap, so easy to get and quick, etc. But, do people should think about the effects that will be bring by eating fast food? The answer is yes! Everyone should concern this problem. It is because the fast food companies do not care about people health, what they will concern is only the profit. They use any methods to attract people to spend money on buying their food, for example"super-size your meal!" or "supersize is free!" which are from the passage. Therefore, we need to pay more afford on caring our health by ourselves.

             In conclusion, from the passage, we clearly know that the reason of fast food become indispensable is related to our need on them. Therefore, the only way to stop them is we should stop eating fast food immediately. Do not let the fast food companies "make us eat fat".
