Stevens Villalon 10/22/2013 EN 101 - Composition 1 Prof. Della Fera “Defense of food” Eating processing food is killing us slowly without our permission. Everyone needs to eat something every day.

"Hundreds of millions of people buy fast food every day without giving it much thought, unaware of the subtle and not so subtle ramifications of their purchase" (Pg. 10). The widespread phenomenon of fast food consumption has transformed even the simplest aspects of everyday life. An era when eating out was rare and saved for special occasions is coming to an end, and is quickly being replaced with a sky-rocketing demand for fast food. Over time, the fast food industry has increasingly manipulated consumers and corrupted the stability of the nation, and although the convenience and affordability of fast food has made it widely popular, the disadvantages noticeably exceed the benefits.
Rochdi Ammar DRE-098-N2 Zaneta summers 15 April, 2014 Eat Healthy! Diet and nutrition form the major determinants of population health. Across America, majority of people do not comply with recommendations regarding intakes of energy, sodium, fruits, saturated fat, and vegetables. The extent to which food is available determines the eating habits. Because food availability depends on an individual’s capacity to buy or produce the food, financial power will determine what kinds of foods one can get; therefore, the rich will access most of the foods as the poor struggle to them or lack them after all.
Process of Being Consumed by the Processed Every day Americans deal with the sabotage of the grocery stores and fast food restaurants where all the shelves, freezers, and menus are presented that leave the choice between unhealthy and unhealthier. These unhealthy foods are most often processed foods that contain chemically altered ingredients that lead to overeating and ultimately diet related diseases. These processed foods have typically been stripped of most, if not all, of their nutritional value. In the process of processing foods, manufacturers add various levels of sodium, additives, colorings, sugar, and fat for longevity, looks, and taste. The more a certain food is processed, the more mal nourished it becomes and, in turn, the more unhealthy it is.

Of course people need food to survive, but the extra calories they consume with sugar-sweetened beverages are not essential to a healthy lifestyle. In the past, taxes on tobacco have been extremely effective in reducing consumption. The goal with the soda tax is it could produce the same results. I feel as though the parents of today’s generation do not have as much of an impact on their children like they used too.

Kyle Frederick Dr. Hall, 10:30 12/6/13 Bland Meals for Bland People Don't you just hate biting into food and realizing how awful it actually is? That's what LSMSA students have to experience every day. Not only does the food taste as terrible as a bag of rocks, but most of the fruits and vegetables are littered with brown spots of rot. Also, there isn't as many choices of food for all of the meals, either. One sausage and one hash brown for breakfast just doesn't cut it.
America Is Hungry Martin Luther King once said, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere”. Hunger, though it may not be widely known, is an ongoing issue in the United States. It is known everywhere that obesity is a huge problem in America, but the opposite is also true. Many people living in the United States, especially in the South, live in food conscious homes. No one should be in hunger in the United States.
