Ethical Appeals About How Fast Food Shouldn't Be Blamed for Obesity
-Even though there are fast food restaurants where we live (McDonald's and Chick-fil-A), no one in this room is obese.
Why? Because...
-We exercise self control.
-We demonstrate an ability to balance the number of calories we consume and burn.
-We walk to class instead of using scooters, and try to avoid eating in excess.
-We do this because we recognize the value of good health and the negative aspects of obesity.
Our attitudes and habits are to blame... not the food!
