In what ways might there be a connection between the obesity rate in
America and the fast food industry?
- Fast food was borne in America, and our society has greatly changed around it. We have become less healthy and raised our obesity rate.
We now have fast food restaurants in other countries, and they are starting to "look like Americans", so you've got to wonder why these changes are taking place RIGHT when fast food enters their environment. - The rate of obesity today is twice as high as it was in the 1960's, when fast food wasn't "the big thing".

What did London Greenpeace do to protest McDonald's and what was McDonald's response?
- London Greenpeace protested McDonald's in 1986 with pamphlets stating all their faults. They said that it was promoting third world poverty, selling unhealthy food, and torturing animals.
- In response McDonald's sued 5 members.
- at the trial McDonald's was very much exposed for what they did behind closed doors.
