manufacturing a culture of obesity

The availability of fast food, advertising of fast food and the image of fast food are manufacturing a culture of obesity, in my opinion.
When I was young there were no McDonalds and no Starbucks where I lived. The was some fast food and takeaway food but not much. Nobody ordered food by phone for delivery to their home. Now all these things are common in most cities and towns. 
People around the age of 30 have grown up in a world of fast food and no real fixed mealtimes or at least used to the idea of eating at any time of day. McDonalds target children the same way as the church targets children, to ensure future custom. People growing up with this do not even think about it. They are so used to it they do not even notice. 
American movies and American fast food culture are everywhere. The heros in action movies are ripped and toned, punching and muscling there way to victory on a diet of burgers, hot dogs and sugary fizzy drinks and yet remain lean and muscled. When did you ever see an action hero eat a salad or some fruit?  We are so used to this we do not even notice it any more. Product placement of specific brands of unhealthy food in the movies is only part of it – even when not promoting a company, these movies normalise unhealthy eating habits and hard drinking, while taking a moral stance by rarely showing cigarette smoking. When I was a child these were sugary, fake cigarettes you could pretend to smoke before eating them. Now those do not exist any more for good reasons but they have been replaced by sugary drinks, energy drinks and fast food. The male teenagers I see I the streets walk around in gangs trying to look tough, always with an open can of some energy drink in hand, as if the effect of post-puberty testosterone on an unfamiliar newly muscled body is not difficult enough they add far too much caffeine and sugar to the mix, the sugar making them hungry and they turn to what they know from movies, musical role models, advertising and from their childhood, that is burgers and fries, chicken nuggets and suchlike. Even those who are fashionably vegan seek out vegan fast food, veggieburgers and fries and so on. And they all love it. They love the fat, the salt, the sugar, the burnt taste, the sugary fatty sauces, all of that at a moment’s notice, any time of the day.  Eating is no longer limited to mealtimes. People eat on the street, on public transport, at the gym, on the beach, at the pool, while driving, people eat all the time. Rarely do you see someone eating fruit, rarely do you see someone refusing an offer of a snack.  
Even at work, the American corporate culture of supplying staff constantly with so-called “brain food”, by which they mean sugary snacks and nuts, has caught on in Europe.  Free snacks of potato chips, nuts and muffins are cheap ways of keeping staff in line.  People also bring their own snacks and some eat almost constantly at their desk, staring at their computer screens, even forgetting to blink.
