American Fast Food Took Over Kuwait and Made its People Obese

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


BATTLE FOR WORLD / VICE NEWS | June 2, 2019:

The video highlights that the health threat now facing Kuwait​ is obesity — and the country’s obsession with American fast food is the likely suspect.

Set up to support the 1991 invasion of Iraq the very first McDonald’s restaurant appeared in Kuwait. Since then the fast food eatery rapidly expanded and hundreds of U.S. fast food restaurants are now in Kuwait and as a result, the country has become one of the most obese among the Arab gulf states.

“The beginning of fast food, I would say it is part of the Americanization of the culture here,” said Dr. Mohsen Bagnied, a professor at the American University of Kuwait to VICE News. And that now, Kuwait has roughly doubled the percentage of diabetic adults than the U.S.

​The U.S. fast food industry isn’t just operating in the Middle East, because American Fast food brands populate more than 100 countries around the world, occupying six continents. And other countries, for example in the European zone, are also reporting increased rates of obesity as a result of feasting on the American diet of sweet success and happiness.

      We have lots of fast food places in the u.s. and I eat at them often and I am not fat. So the restaurants aren’t the problem, it’s their eating disorders.

        I’m British and lived in Hong Kong when I was a teen, that would be around the 70′s and the very first McDonalds had just opened there, Hong Kong is really small and one of the most densely populated areas in the whole World, now there are 235 McDonalds restaurants in Hong Kong

        And after watching this video about McDonalds I’m glad I only ever ate the French Fries because this is the most vile thing I have ever heard in my life

      funny thing about food, you have to willfully shove it into your mouth before anything happens! without that willful act, you cannot get fat, you cannot blame a business for your inability to control your gluttony!
