In conducting this interview, I interviewed classmate Diana Tecson about the effects of fast food on obesity.
Question1: On a scale of 1-10 how big of a problem do you view obesity in the United States as?
Answer: I view obesity in the U.S. on a scale of 1-10 as an 8.
Question 2:Do you feel that is more important to preserve fast food as a part of American culture? Or to fight against obesity?
Answer: I believe that it is more important to fight obesity.
Question 3: Why do you think consumers eat fast food despite all of the health risks that come with eating it?
Answer: Fast food is cheap and easy which means no cooking is needed- people are lazy.
Question 4: Would you describe obesity in the U.S. as an epidemic? Or something that we shouldn't be paying much attention to?
Answer: Epidemic
Question 5: What solutions can you think of to change the negative results from eating fast food?
Answer: Eating fast food in moderation helps, or in other words eat it less. These restaurants can change their menus to more healthier foods. For example, KFC's grilled chicken as opposed to deep fried chicken.
Question 6: If the government taxed fast food even more do you think it would affect sales?
Answer: Yes, but only to some extent. There would be less purchasing but wouldn't affect sales that much because people want fast and easy food.
Question 7: How many times per month do you eat fast food?
Answer: 1 or 2 times per month
Question 8: Do you feel that the fast food restaurants are to blame for obesity in the U.S.? Why or why not?
Answer: No because it is ultimately the consumer's choice to consume fast food in the first place.
