ABSTRACT

The American right to fast-food is as central as the right to bear arms, although the fast-food sandwich, with fries, is far more lethal than the handgun, as Centers for Disease Control and Prevention mortality data suggest. Waters, emerging from the Berkeley 1960s’, which saw the Diggers provide free food, revolutionized American cooking by founding Chez Panisse in 1971, which relies on locally sourced food. Everyone knows that the American fast-food diet is broken. Many women think they are overweight, hence imperfect, while men are happier with themselves, although there is heightened body consciousness among men, who pursue cut abs and arms. After two iterations of the recommended food pyramid, the food plate was introduced in 2011, which relies somewhat less on animal protein and fills the plate with three non-meat quadrants taken up by vegetables, fruit, and grains.
