One-third of American diet is junk foo and soft drinks: we're malnourished and obese at the same time
This article is about how bad the average American's diet truely is. The article states that our diet is the number one reason for chronic illness' in the United States. Almost all of the fast food we eat is filled with "empty calories", which means that the food has a large number of calories that have little to no nutritional value. Overall this article exposes the bad and the ugly of the American diet.
In my opinion this article was very eye - opening. It showed me how much unhealth food Americans consume everyday. It seems to me that if the general public was informed of how bad and how unhealthy these junk foods are, Americans would be more inclined to change their diet. Almost all of the foods we eat as Americans, are junk foods, soft drinks, or foods filled with "emty calories". This is very startling. Overall, I feel that if Americans were informed of these facts our diets would change for the better.
