Abstract
The topic of African American health appeals to me because of the tremendous lack of knowledge in the black community on the subject matter of living a healthy lifestyle. Fast food has been viewed in the minority cohort as a means of daily substance, specifically to African Americans living in Los Angeles. The fast food industry has strategically placed chains of cheap and easily accessible food in neighborhood that cannot afford the healthy way of life. This subject falls under the sociological paradigm known as the conflict theory. Conflict theory says that people compete for resources, some people out of desperation or contempt resort to less socially acceptable ways of getting what they need to survive. The conflict theory supports this topic because increased efforts, made by these fast food industries, are used to organize deprived minorities involved in this health conflict.

Around an era prior, more than a large portion of the dinners were ready at home. Today, a larger part of the suppers we consume are ready made by outsiders who could think less about our wellbeing as long as they get to claim a paycheck.. Our quick paced pop culture no more values the straightforward relics of past times and the sustenance that we consume today is simply the tip of the icy mass. I discovered my brain pondering today as I explored this point. Regardless of my restriction, a desire for a McDonald’s cheeseburger grasped my attention. Quick sustenance is similar to a addiction and is surrounding the black community. Tragically, the greater part of us are
