Faticide: An American Attack On American People

Final video project for College Comp
"Faticide: An American Attack On American People"

Exploring the recent trends in fast food nutrition, the focus of this paper was the impact of recent legislation and attitudes toward the industry, though the video has a bit more information about the nutritional value of the food itself. Restaurants have definitely made an effort in catering to health-conscious Americans, but places like KFC with the Double Down? Sometimes they don't even both to hide how little they really care about what McDonalds calls their "heavy users."

Thanks to Mike for driving me around!
