Showing them how to obtain a healthy lifestyle will benefit them for the future. It's very important that kids will be able to keep themselves away from obesity when they're older and on their own. Although parents can't completely put a stop to this solely, fast food restaurant's cheap and convenient food takes a big part in this issue as well. Every day that comes people have the control to eat what they want. After a hard day of work most people want a quick and easy dinner so they automatically think of eating out for the night.
The reasoning and logic that a Big Mac is read as the food of a college student is that many students get sick of the cafeteria food and look for other options, but without going too deep into their pockets. This also helps low-income families and it is an easy way to get a meal. The evidence and analysis links back to the main idea of the paper because it gives an insight into why the Big Mac is so well known and liked, as well as it shows how it appeals to people through ethos, pathos and logos. The evidence supports who would be seen eating a Big Mac because the people who would be eating a Big Mac is someone who can not buy expensive food and need a quick and easy meal. The analysis part also supports the main idea of the paper because it gives more explanation about why these people are drawn to Big Mac’s and why they would read a Big Mac in such a
Another factor of obesity can also be linked to parental responsibility. Parents may seem too busy at times to cook healthy meals for their kids; instead they choose the easy way out and go through the drive through for their unhealthy dinner. There are better options besides fast
It’s a special bond that every child connects to. As years progress, McDonalds grows more and more. Back in 2003, I loved to watch “Wacky Adventures of Ronald McDonald”. I would spend most of my time watching Ronald McDonald with a group of friend trying to stop ‘Hamburgler’ from stealing the burgers. It’s a very unusual perception but it’s the way fast food corporations would grow so much on business.
The manipulation doesn’t stop there. When you are old enough to go to school, the cafeteria of your safe and trustworthy environment will give you unhealthy treats and lunches that contain no nutritional value, yet feed it to you and simultaneously encourage you to do your best and make good choices. They also feed it to you without giving you a proper introduction of what it is you are actually consuming. This is where the lack of education of a healthy diet
In order to be healthier, we can get rid things like Rockstar, and buy less soda. We can also get rid of some our microwavable foods and junk foods. Even with all the junk food and microwavable foods that we have, our refrigerator is full of vegetables and food that is organic. Since my mom doesn’t work, and my dad does, we don’t really have to worry about not expecting dinner to be ready at night since she’s not really all that busy. We get a hot meal every night that my mom cooks for us, and it’s not just microwave this and that, it’s something that is prepared over the stove.
They increase their levels of sugar, sodium and fats. The central focus should be on their diet. Many people, including those who work for those major snack companies such as Nabisco and Hostess, state that eating junk food is fine, just as long as one exercises daily to burn off the calories. However, they don’t say that indulging in the snack may have consequences later in life such as diabetes, heart disease, stroke, sleep apnea, and asthma. Therefore, the focus should be more on the diet of the child rather than exercising.
Both private and publicly owned institutions that have not kept the public sufficiently educated on the dangers of eating the products they serve or produce; these companies have made millions of dollars on the sales of fast food, junk food, and sugar drinks. As a nation we should be stressing physical activity in home and at school, however, recess is being systematically eliminated, while games and sports equipment is being sacrificed for other costs. The fast food industry has done a wonderful job in making children want fast food and convincing parents that fast food meals are a nutritious alternative to cooking meals at home and they are quick, easy, and affordable. “Advertisements often portray unhealthy eating messages to children. As many commercials are for fast food, soft drinks, and cereals sweetened with sugar, one could argue that children are encouraged by the media to consume high fat, energy dense food” (Ebbeling, Pawlak, & Ludwig, 2002).
If students would have known that fast food ingredients were found in our school lunches. It would be superior for them to go to a nearby McDonalds during lunch to obtain a better deal and also an appetizing lunch. Sadly, students don't have this knowledge of basic nutrients, or what products goes into our school lunches. Central Valley should create a Home Economics class to teach the basics of nutrients because it will benefit their students lively hood in the
Although, I have been eating healthier, they are still far from perfect. The other difference is that I do exercise daily. I do try to eat healthy everyday, and let me tell you it’s very easy to go the McDonalds route. I tried to starve myself for long periods without any food consumption. That was not a good thing to do because it affected my metabolism and energy.
