The purpose is to educate and enlighten the readers to the dangers of fast food.

The author is trying to say that people are responsible for their own choices. He is pointing out that while the fast food industry is there, no one is shoving the bad food into peoples' mouths. They are "in charge" of their own bodies and what they choose to eat.
The other message is one about advertising. The fast food industry will talk about the "healthy white chicken meat", yet leave out the part about the greasy fatty deep fried mung on the outside. The author is warning us not to be stupid and be taken in by ads designed to show only what will attract us.

I can add one thing without even reading it: everyone's in too much of a hurry, too distracted by things like TV and movies and parties to even read and do book reports, much less eat decent food. See what I mean? Not only you... a nation of it!
