Part of the problem is the fix requires work; many people won't change their diet and start eating healthier. However, I think a larger part of the problem is the lack of health consumer education.

In lower-income, urban areas in the US, like half of the City where I live, diabetes is a terrible problem and fast food is normal food. While there are certainly other causes of liver damage, and other risk factors for diabetes, diet itself seems relatively simple to control, in principal. Unfortunately, reality isn't that simple and I see little evidence of moderation in diet. I also see lots of elderly people with the effects of long-term diabetes in my community, and it both tragic and at least partly avoidable. I don't understand why more effort isn't put into public health issues like this- diabetes has to be a big drain on the health care system as well as a human tragedy of epidemic proportions. I'm not saying that the issue is being ignored, just that it isn't being dealt with effectively on a national scale in the US or elsewhere. Am I reading this correctly? Thanks for the great post!

In fact, the lead researcher of the study said he copied “Supersize Me” to the best of his ability. Thanks for your comment. Hi Terry & Chrysalis: I don't think the occasional fast food meal is going to greatly impact a person's health. Like most things, moderation is key. However, based on the study results, frequent long-term fast food consumption should most definitely be avoided. Thanks for your thoughts. Hi apdfranklin: You’re right.

Reading that, I was glad I only had an Iced Tea when I met a girlfriend at McDonald's the other day. The study showing the effects on the liver should be a wake up call. We need to do something to make our foods healthier. I know so many families on the run to soccer practice, swing in there for a quick meal. They'd be better off to pack a dinner, just like lunch time on the go. Wow, what an interesting article, Walter.

In The documentary "Supersize Me", the excess fast food consumed caused similar effects on the liver. Disturbing facts indeed, one of a growing number of reasons to avoid fast foot altogether.
