Question

Why do we see so many overweight people around us?

Answer 1

Commercial businesses.

Explanation:

Business franchises like McDonalds and Taco Bell appeal to the public and have since the 1980s. This is the start of the weight trends in America and these foods were first appealing because it was simple and fast. Both of which were important to growing businessmen and women, mothers, and fathers during this time frame. These became staple comfort foods in America, and for those who struggle with depression, became something to take away the pain. Obesity is very common in America, and it's likely it will be for a very long time.
