This piece would be good for a show about teenagers and health. With the issue of teenage obesity, this story shines some light on why people still eat fast food when they know fast food is unhealthy. Jenn found a variety of reasons why people like to eat and don?t like to eat fast food. The majority of the people she interviewed like fast food for a simple reason: they think it tastes better than healthy food. One thing that could have made the story richer would be if she asked more descriptive questions and if she stated some of the health effects of fast food and how common they are in teenagers and adults. Jenn?s voice could have used more energy throughout the story. This piece had interesting moments, but overall it covered a lot of old territory with not much new information.
