Fast food and junk food is a product of Capitalism and is the source of obesity and heart disease epidemic. We are still dependent on oil as corporations continue to keep out better alternatives (see Who Killed the Electric Car for one example). The rich keep getting richer, the middle class will all be on government aid in the next 20 years at the rate we are going. Media caters to viewers lust and greed.
We need a new economic system that is less dependent on the so called free-market.
