Interviews with the Family

Over Easter break, I interviewed my sister, my brother, and my mom, and each person had similiar, but different things to say about fast food.  My mom was raised in a different generation then her children, so she was telling me when she was little fast food was a treat and she did not have it a lot.  Now a days, fast food is not a treat, but something that is being abused in a way and every day by many families in the country today.  Parents go to fast food because it is quick, easy, and cheap; it will be on the home for parents and some parents say they do not have time to make dinner so fast food will do for dinner. My brother thinks that fast food has become addictive. Some people cannot go a day without having fast food, and in many cases since fast food is on every street corner people can go to a fast food place every day. It is sad to see how fast food has grown in the years and how many people in the country today are obese or overweight. Many people know that they are obese or overweight yet people will not go to the doctors or excerise to lose weight. I asked my family if fast food continues to grow what they think the future will look like. They all said there will be more obese and overweight people. Since parents are role models for children and influence children, once my generation becomes parents they will be influencing their children meaning they will be going to fast food places. My generation has grown up on fast food, and some people do not see the harm in going.  Fast food is okay in moderations, but today's society abuses fast food places. I learned a lot by interviewing my family, but once I get back to school I plan on interviewing my friends to see what they say about fast food.
