First Paragraph :
The invention of television had an impact on American culture in the 1950s because it brought families closer by allowing them to watch television together. It also provided local news updates to many families. In the 1950s, television played a role in shaping people's perceptions of what a perfect society should be. The majority of the shows featured a white father, mother, and children. The 1950s were a time characterized by conformity. The 1960s were a time of defiance against that conformity. Television had an impact on politics in the 1950s. Because of the influence of television, politicians began to adapt the way they campaigned. Politicians began to speak in sound bites, and their looks became more important than ever before. It was estimated that individuals watched it for 1/3 of their waking hours. People didn't leave home if their favorite show was playing since information was delivered faster.
Second Paragraph :
The automobile provided individuals with access to jobs, housing, and services. It also aided the growth of recreational activities. With leisure came a slew of new services. Motels, hotels, amusement parks, and other forms of entertainment, as well as restaurants and fast food, were among them. It gave people the freedom to select where they wanted to live; they no longer had to rely on railroads; the automobile gave ordinary people infinite mobility. Many families wished to move to the suburbs of large cities as a result of increased car production, and as a result, many streets became desolate at night. Furthermore, many teens were given their own car because petrol was cheap and 10 miles per gallon was a wonderful deal.
Third Paragraph :
Fast food consumption is linked to a higher BMI, ineffective weight loss maintenance, and weight gain. Fast food lowers dietary quality and gives unhealthy options, particularly for children and adolescents, increasing their risk of obesity. The numbers increased as fast-food restaurants and processed meals became more prevalent in our diets. Obesity had reached 15% in the United States by 1975 (about the time McDonald's launched the drive-through window). Since then, the overweight population has grown dramatically, with obesity rates now exceeding 32%. Fast food generates about $570 billion in revenue globally, which is more than the economic value of most countries. In 2015, US revenue was $200 billion, up from $6 billion in 1970. Revenue in the United States is expected to hit $223 billion by 2020. Foods changed for the better... or for the worse in the 1950s. Things that we now take for granted were once considered uncommon luxuries. In many 1950s modern houses, a simple packet of McDonald's french fries, a Burger King Whopper, or microwaveable Swanson TV Dinner trays readily revolutionized the "cult of domesticity." Women used to be expected to spend hours in the kitchen making meals for their families before this period. The amount of money spent on food, the quality of food, and the amount of time and effort spent preparing food all altered as a result of this new method of food preparation. Another significant benefit of this new innovation was that women suddenly had more time on their hands to do far more vital things, such as find more time for themselves or find work.
