National Eating Disorder

The term National Eating Disorder refers to Michael Pollan's view of American society. Pollan believes that Americans suffer from an eating disorder based on super-sized, corn fed meals. I agree, I am from another country that also has fast food companies, and in my view the rate at which Americans consume junk food is astonishing. He illustrates vividly that Americans are increasingly becoming addicted to the luxuries of a fast food diet, such as Burger King and the infamous McDonald's. This fat and oil infested diet, is what Pollan believes is the root of America's rising obesity rate and many poor-health related diseases. I believe that the reason for America's national eating disorder is due to the struggle to obtain healty foods. An unhealthy fast food meal is alot 'easier' to possess than having to cook your own vegetables and rice, and this is why many busy Americans choose this unhealty option.
