fast food, and the food industry in general.
technology is a good reason that makes us indulge rather than doing excercise or doing things the old fashion way

McDonald's is part of it, but face it - technology has has made breaking a sweat more of a past time than a necessity for survival. A Hundred years ago, people had to get up at dawn, work the land, do chores, cook their own food, chop fire wood for heat, etc.
We now get up just in time to drive to work, buying a McMuffin along the way, sit on our back-sides and type on keyboards all day (then complain about the hard day we had). House chores have been simplified by clothes washers, dishwashers, vacuums, and cleaning chemicals. The harder house repairs, we pay those few who are in shape to do for us.

* People are more sedentary than before. Majority of jobs today usually consist of a lot of sitting around. In schools, recess and gym time are being cut while the availability of 100-channel cable televisions and video games are more widespread.
* High fructose corn syrup replacing sugar as a sweetener in many foods
* More availability of heavily processed, high calorie foods which tend to be cheaper than healthy alternatives.

Fast Food Tastes Better. You Can Never Re-Create That in A Low Fat Version.

Larger portions, quick fast food meals are an easy out after a long day at work, and people are not gettting enough exercise. (and I am guilty of this)

Its all the processed foods. Nothing but crap and chemicals in the food. Plus people are busy so they eat way too much fast food.

Video games and Yahoo answers instead of going for walks or a hike.
