Eat all that you want, no problem

Based on a documentary I saw, (this was like 5 years ago) about the most known fast food restaurant, McDonald's, made a change in their portion size around 1955 in the United States. Meaning that the sizes that are sold in this place, have become a bigger in the size portion than what they used to be before. For example, a large drink today, would be about four times the size of a large cup used in the 1950s. (https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/mcdonalds-portion-sizes-over-the-years_us_55f171b4e4b002d5c0782ee8) This has changed due to the demand of citizens wanting more and as a result making their health be something to less worry about. I understand that customers want to make their money be worth what they can get out of it, by buying something that meets their needs, but this also leads to several destruction in health terms. 

According to Health Data, it states, "An estimated 160 million Americans are either obese or overweight. Nearly three-quarters of American men and more than 60% of women are obese or overweight. These are also major challenges for America’s children – nearly 30% of boys and girls under age 20 are either obese or overweight, up from 19% in 1980" (IHME 2018). http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(14)60460-8/abstract Due to having an increment on food industries and particularity fast food restaurants, it made a result on having so many people being affected by it from all ages. But obviously, there's the economic side, in which its a benefit for them to have all of these places because of the incoming money eared is high. These tend to be a success because one, citizens want their food as soon as possible, two can be tasty and three is it affordable. This has slowly taken control of how we tend to eat without caring about our health as much anymore. 

Now we can see so many pills that can help you lose weight without the need of changing our meals, portions and exercising activities. So it seems that there has been more encouragement on having people to eat all the unhealthy food they want and consume all these pills that are made to "lose" weight. There are so many that are offered to people, like Apridren, Obesitrol, etc., these are instruments in which are used in society to encourage that unhealthy life. Adverting all of these gets people's attention. So technically, these industries with all of these products being offered are making a change in society making seem that taking 'drugs' are okay to 'control' their health.
