Snapshots


1. This is the reason that a good percentage of Americans are obese. Using the information from this graph, we can say that 69.2% of Americans eat at a fast food restaurant every week, at least once. This is not simply a slight majority. The eating habits of Americans based on this pie graph show that many Americans are too busy to consider eating more healthily by packing their lunch.

2. Many American families are doing something right. From the information, one can see that 97% of people eat no more than three times at a fast food restaurant per week. One-third of these people do not eat out at all during the week. The other two-thirds eat out only once, twice, or occasionally three times a week.

3. Some Americans eat at fast food restaurants more than half of the days of every week. The graph shows that 69.2% of Americans eat out up to 5 times a week. If one considers a 5-day work week, many of these people are eating out every day or nearly every day. Again the eating habits show that people are too busy to eat well-balanced meals at regular intervals.

  1. I love your interpretation of this! Your usage of words made each argument sound legimate and believable, also backed up by the graph. I thought this exercise was kind of hard, but seeing yours has helped me understand it better.
