Debate: Fast food is responsible for teenage obesity. Do you agree?
Side: No, it is not responsible.

step 2) " The gun should not be convicted of murder, the person who pulls the trigger should be", with this, my first point for the opposition will be that fast food is not responsible for obesity, instead the person who chooses to eat it should be. Human beings are given choices in life, we have the rights to make choices and to decide what we want to do, what we want to be and what we want to eat. No fast food restaurants can force you to eat their food. The consumption of fast food is PURELY up to the choice of the consumer, therefore, they are going there on their own free will. The opposition may say that people choose to eat fast food beacause it is very convenient and economical. I do agree to a certain extent on this point, in our advanced society, fast and easy are 2 very important factors in many people's daily diet. Many people especially those who are on the go, would usually consume fast food. to add on, you can see fast food outlets such as MacDonalds everywhere in the world. Even in some rural countries of the world, you might notice a MacDonalds outlet in the streets that sprung up even before schools were being built. However this is when making the right choices spring in. People could easily choose to just walk In to MacDonalds, and simply grab a burger and a side of fries and a coke. But think about it, What if people took the effort to walk into a Salad bar, or take-away a healthy meal? its not that hard really, all you have to do is make the right choice! In a country like Singapore, you can see many food stores anywhere. you can see salad bars, or subway or maybe just a random kopitiam. how difficult is it for you to just go in and grab a bite? its fast, easy and affordable and HEALTHIER! also, its true that fast food has very high calories and fats, but are you supposed to eat it so frequently?  With that, i come to my second point, Moderation. it is true, that fast foods, such as those from Macdonalds contains loads of transfat, sodium and calories, and it is a common conclusion that these foods are responsible for obesity. However, my dear opponents, i believe that portion control is responsible for obesity. Just think about it,people who do not eat fast food can get obese too. its all about the caloric intake that you eat each day. Eating non fast food items can also cause you to gain weight if you go beyond the right portion sizes. Eating lots of rice and starchy foods like potatoes and flour can cause you to put on those extra pounds too. besides, how often do kids and teenagers eat at fast food restaurants, eventually most of their meals would be taken at home. I feel that it is the meals that teens take at home that leads to obesity, since they are able to eat as much as they want, whenever they want. all in all, Moderation is responsible for obesity. Just because some fast foods contain high amounts of calories, it doesnt mean that all fast food fall into that category, Some non fastfood items can be very high in calories and fat too, suchas coconut milk and cheese. whats more, its up to you to pave the way fo your health, if you eat MacDonalds everyday, blame it on yourself that you are obese, not the food. Finally, my 3rd point. Fast Food is not responsible for obesity, because factors like inactive lifstyles,Genes, heredity and metabolism are key factors that lead to obesity. People who are not physically active tend to put on more weight than people who are. Physical activity burns off your calories to make your daliy caloric intake more balanced. Obese people have a tendency to not exercise frequently. Many people in this world are also suffering from obesity because of heredity. their parents may be obese, and therefore passing their traits onto their children.Its not their fault that their body ends up that way. I know of some obese people who have tried and gone on millions of diets and exercises, but to no avail. Metabolism, everyone has different metabolic rates, metabolism is the amount of calories your body burns to maintain yourself. People with high metabolism can eat alot, yet not grow fat. Its is all by nature how fast your metabolism is. People who are less fortunate may not eat as much as others, but end up being heavier than them. There fore, i believe that i have proven beyond doubt why fast food is not responsible for obesity in teens! And i say, the motion MUST FALL. thank you:D
