Not according to this opinion. Arguments are presented supporting the fast food industry:
It’s not simply fast food companies’ fault that obesity is rising in the US. To try to place the blame for obesity on them, or a large percentage of it, is to do no more than creating a scapegoat. Fast food is different than tobacco. Smoking can do little but cause harm. Fast food actually has benefits if eaten occasionally, and only becomes dangerous in excess. The fast food industry should not be targeted as the main cause of obesity.
