Should we be worried?

After watching the video in class about how obese Americans are becoming I feel everyone should be worried and people need to take some kind of action on trying to eat healthier. Though these food companies are making lots of profit off of the fatty foods they provide, they also should try and make things for children a little more healthier and appealing. They make the fatty foods look appealing and we really do not see much about healthier foods. Targeting younger children is very bad because they grow up with these unhealthy eating habits. Fast foods are usually cheaper and easier to find in my neighborhood but I also see alot more obese people than I do healthy people nowadays which is not good. So the government which has so much money and power I feel should take affirmative action and help do something about this. The majority of people are usually going to eat what is easier to get to and nowadays its fast foods. If we had more healthier things to go to obesity would not have such an increase.
