A research study conducted on the regular consumers of fast-food in the United States has found that most of them are obese and suffer from cardiovascular diseases. Since American fast-food companies are now expanding to the European and Asian countries, we can expect an increased incidence of obesity and cardiovascular diseases in these countries.

AMost European and Asian countries already have a high prevalence of obesity and cardiovascular diseases.
BMost citizens of the European and Asian countries into which the American fast-food chains are expanding are less aware of the adverse health effects of regular fast-food consumption than most Americans.
CThe state-wise incidence of obesity and cardiovascular diseases in the United States is proportional to the state-wise per capita consumption of fast-food.
DIn laboratory experiments, normal-weight mice who are fed exclusively on fast-food become obese but mice who are fed a non-fast-food diet retain their normal weight.
