Abstract or Introduction
Almost anybody today knows the troubles people have with their weight or figure. Articles in magazines and newspapers about diets and weight can be found everywhere, and one country where the problem of being overweight or obese is always on the top is the U.S.A. North America was the first nation to make people realize that it was not only the precursor of technologies and new industries, but also the ‘motherland’ of weight problems. Though, what are the reasons for this development? How is the situation like today? And what can be done against this disease?
In my following essay I will try to work out these points more explicitly.

It takes between 1–2 hours of extremely vigorous activity to counteract a single large-sized children's meal at a fast food restaurant. Frequent consumption of such a diet can hardly be counteracted by the average child or adult
