Summary“Americans yearly consume and average of 8 to 15 pounds of chemicals that contribute nothing to the growth or maintenance of body cells” (Bowles 2). Useless and even harmful calories are constantly being consumed in our affluent society. The United States of America has more of a problem with obesity than any other country and we are trying to get the others to catch on. The majority of the food that most Americans have available to them is full of preservatives, fatty acids, and is over-processed. These things make it almost impossible for Americans to stay healthy. The way we eat is a reflection of habit; if people were not raised to eat such fatty foods than the inherent disorders such as obesity and depression would not be such an issue. For many people food is also their comfort or their biggest struggle. Eating such ways causes more damage than just body weight. Many things can result internally to digestive organs, mental clarity, and emotional stability.
