Today, a lot of children in the USA are suffering from such health disorders as diabetes and blood pressure, which were previously associated only with old people. Syndrome X is rapidly growing as an illness among the Americans. Although this disease is genetically transferred, yet the contemporary American lifestyle and diet in many ways acts as a catalyst in the spread of this disease. A person suffering from Syndrome X is not only obese, but also has lower metabolism than other people his/her age. The individual is also a patient of diabetes and heart disease. Obesity not only directly affects an individual’s health, but also lowers his/her morale and perceptions about self-identity. Overweight and obese people are more likely to be made fun of in the society. Overweight and obesity also reduces an individual’s efficiency in work, and accordingly their chances of being granted a job from among hundreds of smart and active competitor candidates. Fast food industry is one of the prime contributors of the spread of obesity all over the world in general and in the USA in particular. Fast food industry is one of the prime contributors of the spread of obesity all over the world in general and in the USA in particular. This paper looks into the potential causes of obesity. Obesity is predominantly an outcome of the modern lifestyle, with the contemporary diet and eating habits being the major contributors. Fast food industry is one of the prime contributors of the spread of obesity all over the world in general and in the USA in particular. Corn is the main ingredient of almost all varieties of foods produced by the USA not only because it is produced in large quantities and is quite cheap, but also because it tastes great and can be converted into a variety of forms, some of them being so distinct from the parent seed that they are hardly relatable. “The U.S. produces so much corn so cheaply that Americans have become quite clever at inventing uses for it, from fuel to power cars and trucks to the polymers in plastics. But most of all, we eat it” (Roston). These cheap ingredients are used to produce processed foods. The growth in the cultivation of corn directly fostered a growth in the production of sugars and sugary foods by the food industry in the USA. In the three decades between 1972 and 2002, the quantity of sugar produced per American in a year increased from 104 lbs to 126 lbs, thus undergoing a net increase in production by 21 per cent (Roston). All of this sugar was consumed in making foods and beverages that have become the insignia of the contemporary lifestyle. Processed food is one of the main in items of the contemporary American food industry. Every day, millions of Americans just consume processed food. Consumption of processed food is a very viable option for them as it provides them with a means to save their time as they don’t have to take time out of their busy schedule to cook the food at home. Besides, processed food is generally tastier than most varieties of the organic food cooked at home. Processed foods are available in a very large range. Every single item has a lot of flavors. Many Americans try an item of processed food because it is new in the market and hasn’t been tried before. Just a single try assumes immense potential to cause obesity in the consumers as there are hundreds of items to be tried out there. Processed foods have a low fiber content and are yet rich in fat and carbohydrates, “which turn into glucose, immediately worsening the effect on the endocrine system, dumping tons of sugar into the system for the pancreas to deal with The insulin producing "islets" eventually get worn out” (Victoria). Insulin resistance is also a promoter of obesity in people who suffer from the condition of endocrine disorder which impacts pancreas.
