the USA, but it is

world". These are the most affluent country, which is generally characterized by a sedentary lifestyle that means that the majority of people work in an office, in front of a laptop, have a short launch break and not so much time to spend on the preparation of the dinner. The consequences of

this

behaviour are the decrease in

sports

activities and the increase in the consumption of pre-cooked dishes or fast food. Noteworthy is the fact that North America is the motherland of fast food and only a few years later they have been widespread throughout the world.

That means avoiding snacks on the vending machines and offering a variety of healthy food ,
