Apparently, more people are eating like Americans that is eating fast food or what José Bové and
some French would call “mal bouffe.” I can attest to that fact for I think that more and more people are looking for convenience and the one thing is favor of fast food is that it is convenient because you get it fast, it fills you up and you don’t have to worry about sanitary issues (at least most of the time). Globalization is primarily about speed and this is why the world has taken up American eating habits. However, having poor eating habits has consequence for it means more eating disorders and more diseases. So the question is how to export healthier eating habits? We do it the same way that we exported bad eating habits by making it possible for people to eat convenient and fast healthy meals. To me, the answer to this growing crisis is not just about education, but about making it easier for people to eat healthy without having to take a lot of time to worry about and to actually do it. It is time to find not only ways to make fast food less unhealthy and to make healthy food more rapidly available.
