I don't take care of myself at all. I've no idea why I'm not a fat bloater. I eat everything and anything. I never cook and just eat take-outs.
For the Nugent family, fast food is a running herbivore.
Economic gross is making us fat.
People come into McDonald's two to three times a month - to extrapolate that to the cause of obesity is a real stretch.
I did spend much of my 20s sitting on a couch playing video games and ordering disgusting food.
People ask me, "What would you be doing without baseball?" I don't know... super-sizing fries?
The problem with the standard American diet, a primary cause of our current obesity epidemic, is the fact that the majority of foods consumed are high in calories and low in micronutrients.
I think it's too soon to say that, and I think, basically - most of the people that I ran across and most of the studies that I saw suggest people don't go to McDonald's to eat healthy food. They go to eat fries and cheeseburgers.
Each and every one of us has unknowingly played a part in the obesity problem.
Pop culture, it's crazy. There's all this violence in video games. In 'Call of Duty,' people are literally just blowing other people up. Hey, let's protect your country from your couch while eating your sandwich.
Clearly, America's dysfunctional food culture must bear some of the blame for our excess pounds, but it's likely our walking-averse lifestyles contribute as well.

'Fast Food Nation' isn't about my journey into the dark world of fast food and the prison book is not about my journey into the prison world. I'm not using myself as any kind of narrative link.

The people in power have created an obesity epidemic.
I haven't eaten at a McDonald's since I became President.
You've got bad eating habits if you use a grocery cart in 7-Eleven.
I actually saw a kid and went home and drew him. I don't even know who he was. I was buying a TV set in Circuit City. I was looking at this kid and he was kind of standing there, staring off into space. Kids are pretty chubby nowadays because of all the fast-food places. I grew up eating fast food but now everything is double beef and double cheese. So there are a lot of these chubby boys with long, baggy shorts.
When working, my diet degrades to pizza three times a day, because I don't want to distract myself from anything.
Maybe I wouldn't hit three fast food restaurants in a day, but I could hit one in a day. I try not to do that.
I really like unhealthy food, so I eat a lot of fast food. I also like Chinese.
It starts in the home environment. If the parents eat bad? Those kids are going to eat bad. If they see their parents stopping at McDonald's or Pizza Hut, then that's what they're going to eat as well.
