The Typical American Menu Produces A Fat American By Paula Martinez At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

The typical menu in any restaurant reflects the eating habits of the consumer. The U.S. will have three quarters of the population reporting in as overweight or obese in 2015. The prediction is that 41% will be classified as obese. In 8 years 75% of the population will be overweight based on Current Obesity Statistics. Right now we are currently at 66% with 34% who can be classified as obese. Youfa Wand MD, PHD and colleagues working in Baltimore at John Hopkins Bloomberg Scholl of Public Health’s Center for Human Nutrition has reviewed 20 studies on the growing epidemic of overweight adults, teens, and kids.

The study found that the weight gain is showing up at the waistline. This type weight gain puts you at risk for diabetes and heart disease. This fact shows up in waist circumference that has gone up by about 4 inches for men and 7 inches for women. This has occurred between 1960 and 2000. Asian-Americans born in the U.S. are four times to be obese as their counterparts in their homeland.

The typical American menu seems to help produce a fat American. What is an American menu; it is where the food choices at a dinning facility serve what is considered typical American food. It is reflected in most burger and fast food establishments. With the rising production of food that has a shelf life into the next decade, we are drowning in synthetic food. The problem we eat it like we are starving. The truth is that these products set up cravings and fool with the production of insulin. From sunrise to sunset we are eating wide array of sugary, starchy and sodium polluted meals and snacks.

The typical American menu promotes products with all the above ingredients. A fat American is the product of this type eating. If you keep eating from the establishments with the oversized meals it shows. We reward children by setting them up for a lifetime of obesity. We push for more production by fatting up farm animals and getting them to produce unnatural amounts of milk for the market place. The food manufacturers try for more tantalizing green, blue and other color gunk to temp kids with. This is again reflected in menu fare aimed at children.

I wonder is the American public solely responsible for all the causes and conditions that lead to this obesity epidemic, or is to the point where the victim gets blamed for the crime. Sugary items and refined grains are the stuff that tops the menu at many eating places. White flour products that have the bran stripped out of it are things that make your blood sugar spike quickly. Then it drops and hunger ensues.

What if they got the American consumer hook line and sinker? Once started eating this way, it is extremely difficult to not participate, while becoming more vulnerable to the influence these products have on your hormones and chemistry. The sights, aroma, and childhood memories of being offered these concoctions can be very tantalizing. Around every corner there is some eating place hawking these delights.
