Globalization has changed the world. American way of life has been exported from side to side on earth. In the past, they conquered countries with their military industry and today they do the same with the cultural industry by means of their films and their own tales.
First, they showed us how to live with their fiction stories on screen (cinema, television…etc.) and afterwards they brought big corporations like cinemas, shops and, of course, American restaurants or fast food restaurants.
It was a great change, a slow change but definitive. We can remember when young people thought that American products were bad. We do not like those products because they are a domination American symbol. For example, you could not say that you like burgers and Coca Cola because everybody said that they were Yankee products. Spanish young people loved England in the sixties but they hated USA because it was an imperialist country.
Nowadays American food is available throughout the world, even in Moscow Red Square you can find a Burger King. I have no doubt that every time a Third World’s child drinks a Coke, he feels like a child of the First World.
Finally, we have lost this battle. Young people love fast food and we cannot do anything to change this situation. “Super Size Me” is just a funny movie against the Hollywood’s cinema factory.
