Fast Food
The day I arrived in El Salvador I noticed a ridiculous amount of fast food restaurants. Having visited several times in the past, I can remember when there was only one McDonald´s in San Salvador and I remember what a big deal it was when the first Pizza Hut was opened. Nowadays it´s uncommon to see a street corner without a fast food restaurant. In fact, pizza, hamburger and fried chicken restaurants often sit across the street from another restaurant of the same franchise. Sometimes the United States is criticized for having a coffee shop on every corner, and I can make the same criticism about El Salvador and fast food.
Originally I was planning on designing an informative pamphlet or educational material based on infectious disease, but the staggering amounts of cases of diabetes, hypertension and obesity have led me towards producing a proper-nutrition type of educational material that I will present to the Ministry of Health here in El Salvador.
