Nope, we are responsible for choosing to eat there.
2 :
Not the main cause but a big contributor. We are raised and brainwashed from when we are little to love fast food because it is good, cheap, and convenient. The fast food really isn't cheap in the long run and does taste good but I'm sure your body will tell you differently. It does have a big impact because instead of going out to eat or even preparing a meal we can just drive to it and not even step out of the car. But really it is our own fault because we should know better.

Yes, somewhat. However fast food industry is not guilty of people eating their stuff. They are only guilty of making fast food with too many grease/fat, calories, sugar, and other bad components. People eat fast food only because they like it, no one is forcing them to eat. And no, I DON'T work for the fast food industry.

No, actually, I'm one of the few people that truly believes that fast food (in moderation) is just AS healthy if not more healthy than food people make at home. In fact, i got a hamburger meal at mcdonald's with a soda and compared the amount of fat and calories in that meal to 2 slices of homemade lasagna, and the mcdonald's meal was wayyyy healthier.

Do you mean we are now mandated to eat fast food? I thought obamacare was going to force us to stay away from that, or start getting taxed on the more oxygen we use and carbondioxide we exhale because of our weight index given to the government by our doctor which needs to meet a government mandate for our size does not comply????????????????????. Look eat at home where your suppose to and take a sandwich for lunch to school, just don't leave your lunch on the bus in the morning. Quit blaming other people for your mistakes.

No, the individual is responsible for the choices (s)he makes when choosing food. If it was the only food available to the consumer, then it is a community and government concern that there is a demographic of people within their nation who cannot afford to obtain fresh fruit and vegetables, and unprocessed proteins.
7 :
No; I believe it's just the uncontrollable gluttony of our fellow Americans.
8 :
Why would someone put certain foods into their mouths and then blame the place that sold that food? No one forced that food on them. Take some responsibility for your own actions.

It's the law of supply and demand. We wanted more fast food, we got more fast food. People didn't want to cook at home, so affordable alternatives became popular. You are putting the cart before the horse. I cook at home MOST days. I haven't opened a can of vegetables in years, only use fresh. Usually have 3 course or more meal. Seldom actually work more than a 1/2 hour in actualy standing in the kitchen time, even for a dinner for 6 guests. It isn't difficult. It requires shopping, organization, and the inclination to do it rather than ordering a pizza or grabbing a burger. I always have left-over in the fridge which are my lunch most days. I buy fruits and have on hand. Bake cakes 3-4 at a time and freeze. Anyone could do it, if they wanted, but they don't.

No. It is the affluence which has enriched both our culture and our diets. Have a polite day.

People who have a choice of what they eat are responsible for there diet. If a person doesn't have the character and will power to eat properly and choose nutritionally healthy food you should look at there parents for the reason they don't eat healthier meals. I believe lack of proper parenting is the base cause of much of what is wrong in our society. Good family life should be encouraged by government much more than it is. There should be consequences for being a poor parent. Our government tends to throw money at the problems after it is to late. There is a lot of truth in the old saying " as the twig is bent so grows the tree!" Personal responsibility by parents is the key
