Fast dood being unhealthy and dangerous is the main theme of the book. Americans can no longer ignore the multiple health hazards of a fast food diet. With the advent of fast food chains following World War II, Americans have latched on to the ease and convenience of ordering a meal which is ready within minutes and which, because of advertising and gimmicks, is especially popular with children. The all-American meal is now a hamburger, fries and a Coke, available at any number of chains, or tacos, delivered pizza, and fried chicken, all within a few miles of home. Fat content of these meals is horrendous, not to mention the dangerous amounts of sugar in the sodas which we consume daily.
