You know the documentaries that show the results of fast food restaurants such as McDonalds being placed in low-income areas? They always prove that this can cause obesity to the residents in the area.

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.

In fact, it hasn’t just been one documentary done on this story. There has been an ample amount of involvement. New York’s Area Council got involved and made new labeling laws that it hoped would help gain people’s awareness of this problem.

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.

According to companies like McDonalds and KFC the lack of improvement is wrong. They report that men and women have improved on their choice in ordering healthier foods. How can these reports be so different? It just doesn’t make any sense. One has to be right and one wrong.
