Childhood Obesity in America

Everyday in America we face the luring temptation of wanting to order fast food eventhough facts clearly show that there is little to no nutrients in it. Of course, I can understand if people are starving and have no choice but to order from the-oh-so-famous McDonalds, but for a lot of people fast food is just a an easy way to get good food filled with high calories. What really upsets me is that this nation is becoming surrounded by tons of fast food resturants and parents are feeding their kids the same sickening food that will turn them into round balls of mush! It is very kid-like to copy the things thier parents do, and when their parents are taking the family out for fast food four times a week their kids picture in their mind that that is the healthy way of eating.
Although, health studies have proved that fast food leads to many roads of problems, parents these days don't seem to mind what goes in their kids mouths as long as it tastes good!
So, Why are parents so unaware of the damage they are doing to their kids, and is every child going to be a victim of all the fast food resturants in the future?
