The article ,which is from the recently news , will be a recent proof to explain to you that many people are overweight in the U.S. and the reason is fast food.

Kingsnorth, Paul. "How the English Malady Became the World's;stuffed and Starved by Raj Patel Portello." Art& Book Review (2007). Lexisnexis. Web. 17 Apr. 2010.
In the book review that I have found from lexis nexus written by Mr.Paul Kingsnorth for the book of Raj Patel’s; it is emphasized that the main problem of the food system and diseases come from the historical roots of the system. Also, the question of why the system goes so badly from farmers to shoppers is the main concern in the book. This review made me ask more questions about how the food system have started and is it really a surprising thing that it has come to a point that it is becoming seriously dangerous.

The book by Susan Smulyan explains popular (mass) culture’s definition and the impacts of it on society more deeply. That will help me to discuss with you how Mc Donald’s and other fast food restaurants are the big symbol of pop (mass) culture. As individuals are we lost in mass culture or controlling it, do you it Mc Donald’s because it is your own decision or the society’s?
