Unhealthy lifestyle made easier

As the health and fitness club at Oakdale High School — Get Amped — we would like to express our concern for the newest change in the fast-food industry. Burger King is testing home delivery at locations on the East Coast. It is only a matter of time before the idea spreads like vegetable oil here!

With all of the unhealthy delivery choices already, adding fast food personal delivery provides a whole new low for our country. We already have an obesity epidemic. Americans have become so sedentary that they will likely drool at the thought that they can get a Whopper combo with fries delivered to their doorstep for less that $7 a pop. With such a huge rise in diabetes in America, shouldn't we be looking for healthier choices rather than adding to the list of unhealthy ones? As if fast food isn't easy enough to get, let's allow consumers to sit on their couches, eliminating all physical activity, and phone for a 40-piece chicken tenders box. Delivering unhealthy fast food to people's homes will only add to a sedentary lifestyle. What's next — the delivery boy hand-feeding you?
