Steroids Done Right

Do you remember the documentary about fast food restaurants like McDonalds that are placed in low-income neighborhoods cause huge jump in obesity? The residents in those areas tend to gain quite a bit of weight.

People with little money don’t really have much of a choice when it comes to eating out options. A cheap fat-filled hamburger looks like a great deal and they can get a few of them but they are full of empty calories and a terrible health risk.

There hasn’t just been one documentary on the subject either. This has become a huge issue in many areas and many people have covered reporting this situation. New York’s Area Council got involved and put into effect new labeling laws that it thought would help to handle this issue.

Even with the new laws things haven’t changed. According to a recent survey New York’s poor people are still victims of a terrible diet in their low-income neighborhoods.

Contradicting this is the metropolis. They (McDonald’s and KFC) seem to think that men and women are ordering food with less fat and calories. How could this be when an independent shows otherwise? It just doesn’t seem right.

One way to look at it is that chains like Subway sell healthier low cost sandwiches and lots of them and those figures are being considered in the survey of the more unhealthy chains like McDonalds and KFC. This throws a wrench in the figures.

What the metropolis is doing is using the reports from wealthier neighborhoods where better food is more readily available and group those reports with those from the poorer neighborhoods that don’t offer the healthier food.

In the end the City’s report doesn’t hold any water at all. It’s worthless. The reality is that poor people are still making bad food choices.
