    Primarily the author may be trying to inform some readers, and warn others. Additionally, the author is providing an illustration of how life has changed during this world-wide acceptance of fast food, fast eating, wanting not only meals, but "things" quickly.

    Nevertheless, the authors arguement is simply stating the need for speed, and how American's, at least most, especially those within various age groups, have traded out health for speed, with the mindset of "I want it now".

    Many themes are represented: Economics, Health, and family relationships just to name a few. Perhaps considering the author has presented the facts, and has given the reader the opportunity to determine the outcomes of what trading out such things will bring or not bring forth in their own life.
