In the not too distant past, fast food portions were smaller and could actually be seen as a suitable meal as they provided enough calories for one person. This all began to change when a man named Elliot Bloom began to study Taco Bell’s sales and discovered that their main consumers consisted of “young, single males who could ate at such restaurants as often as 20 times a month.”

Impossible Dreams The meaning of the American Dream can be seen as ”A uniquely American vision of the country consisting of three central ideas. The American dream consists of a belief in America as the new Eden- a land of beauty, bounty, and unlimited promise; a feeling of optimism, created by ever expanding opportunity; and a confidence in the triumph of the individual.” Using this definition of the so called “American dream”, it seems to be a great representation of it at first, until you realize it includes everyone as the individual.
