Zinczenko shares his personal story of how fast-food restaurants like Taco Bell and McDonald's led to a weight problem during his high school years. She says the ease of accessibility and lack of healthy alternatives make it all too easy to fall into the cycle of unhealthy eating. Zinczenko also argues that the lack of nutrition labels on fast food products leaves the consumer in the dark about what they are actually consuming. At the time Zinczenko wrote his article, fast-food restaurants did not willingly disclose the nutritional values ​​of their products. Today this has changed. Fast food companies, including McDonald's, have placed all of their products' nutritional information directly on their packages and wrappers. All other fast food establishments post it on their menu board (Panera), offer easy access to brochures containing all of their menu's nutritional information in-store, or make it easily accessible online (Taco Bell, KFC). I'm sure this is a useful step towards educating the public about what they consume, but has this new knowledge for consumers made a dramatic difference towards ending obesity? No. People have always known that eating a Big Mac and French fries alongside the giant sodas offered by McDonald's and other chains is unhealthy; putting nutrition labels on these items has done little to nothing to stop people from eating these high-calorie meals. This once again brings us back to the point that people, as consumers, need to be more responsible towards themselves and stop blaming others for what they willingly choose to put in their shoes.
