We have come to grips with change, and have realized that trying new foods and flavors brings its own set of comforts. So we are willing to try calamari salad without battering the rings. We even venture into sea urchin or skate, instead of tilapia. We dare to check out the Moroccan restaurant, and not just the Mexican. We are intrigued by molecular gastronomy on our forks and by broiled kale on our plates.
English 091 19 March 2013 The Effects of Meal Outsourcing Fast-food is more than a quick-easy meal to be inhaled on the way to somewhere more important. Its negative effects touch one physically, emotionally, and financially. It is true that there are healthy choices offered while eating out, meals can be shared even if not cooked at home, and there are low-cost options on fast food menus. Choosing to not cook and eat a family meal at home has negative health consequences, causes a deterioration of the family relationship, and has a higher cost. Even with healthier choices, one cannot be aware of exactly what is in the food cooked in restaurants, while families can opt out of the drive-through and go in to sit and eat together at fast-food establishments it isn't as intimate and the time is rushed, low-cost options on fast food menus cost more than cooking a family meal at home.
When you take in more calories than you burn, your body stores those unused calories as fat. Obesity occurs when a person has too much body fat. Low-income families are more susceptible to obesity because of limiting factors such as: limited resources and lack of access to healthy, affordable foods; fewer opportunities for physical activity; cycles of starvation and overeating; and high stress levels. Low-income neighborhoods often lack farmers’ markets and other grocery stores where fresh fruits and vegetables, low fat dairy, and whole grain products are readily available. Those without transportation are subjected to shopping at convenience and corner stores.

The poor in this country are not able to afford healthy food, nor are they in the position to spend time exercising, both of which could help reduce their chances of obesity; lowering the cost of healthy foods through government subsides, and creating programs that support healthy living and exercise in poor neighborhoods could be two solutions to this growing problem. The poor are at greater risk for obesity due to their inability to afford healthy food. Healthy foods are more expensive than unhealthy foods and are not as available in low income neighborhoods where the poor often live. Conversely, unhealthy foods are readily available in close proximity to many low income neighborhoods.

The longer a child has been obese, the less likely it is that the problem will spontaneously resolve.

Family patterns of exercise and eating play significant roles in the etiology and management of obesity in children. Why has excessive weight become such a problem for modern-day societies?

Some people who are food insecure will overeat when food is available. Exercise is also another issue for those who live in poverty. The reason being is that a lot of people are unable to find the time to exercise as they would work extremely long hours just so they can get by.

Another factor is depression which those who live in poverty have a high chance of developing depression due to all the stress to make sure they make means meet.
