Fast Food of Arabia: VICE on HBO

As Americans become increasingly health-conscious and junk food sales plateau in the States, fast food companies are spreading to new global markets, expanding their revenue — and the waistlines of their customers.

VICE correspondent Gianna Toboni travels to Kuwait, now one of the most obese countries on the planet, to witness the health effects on a country deep in the throes of an unlikely obsession with U.S. fast food. "Fast Food of Arabia" airs on HBO Friday, April 21 at 11pm

as someone who was born and raised in Kuwait this is very accurate. The Mcdonals nearby is open 24/7 and the drive-thru operates from 5 am to 5 pm

Authentic Italian Pizza. Made in Kuwait. By Asians.

Huge respect to the Hardees CEO who was open to talk about it. Dude's a wealthy shill who sells burgers like a dealer, but he's not afraid to admit it. "we make the healthy shit, but I can't say many people buy it." says it all.

This is how we're going to win the war on terror...

DOMINO'S PIZZA #1

So much hate in the comments people think Kuwait is like Saudi Arabia its NOT guys. BIG BIG difference. Even though Saudi Arabia is right next to Kuwait but lifestyle is completely different I've spend 21 years of my life in Kuwait and now i'm living in United States trust me i damn miss Kuwait and i'm going there next month :DDDD

Make more pizza! Have more fun! ...and weep those tears of corporate enslavement while manager is not looking.

In Kuwait, we feed fast food to our lions. Much cheaper than red meat.

[Anti_Mage]

Gianna should not endanger her womb by eating all of that unhealthy food.
