Is the Fast Food Industry Causing Obesity?

There are a lot of people saying that the American society is becoming obese. Now there are many reasons why this could be happening, some people are even trying to point the blame at the fast food industry. This is a little outrageous, I mean really are people so out of control of there own lives that they can't even control their own eating habits. It's not like I can't understand where people are coming from. Fast food is easy to get and it's really cheap. There are even promotional items and some places, like McDonald's, even host birthday parties. These make people want to go to fast food joints even more. This is, I agree, is a very valid point, but there apparently is no more sense of personal responsibility. People cannot deal with something that is wrong with them so they make it someone else's  fault entirely. This is just unreasonable in my opinion. If you see that something is wrong with yourself don't blame others, fix it yourself. Problems we have are usually self inflicted. If you see that your over weight don't blame the place you go to eat. Go to the gym, eat healthier foods. Heck you don't even have to go somewhere else for lunch since most fast food places now offer healthier choices for meals. I work at McDonald's and I know for a fact that there are salads and we even have grilled chicken as an option on sandwiches. People need to think about what they eat and how they can fix it them selves as opposed to who they can blame for how they look. Really someone suing the fast food companies because they're over wait is like someone suing the tobacco industry because they have lung cancer. It's your own fault, your actions caused this not someone else. Deal with your own problems instead of ignoring them and blaming someone you don't even know for it.
