I disagree completely that we as Americans suffer from lack of information about nutrition in fast food. Every capable adult knows that eating anything in a fast food restaurant is bad for you. They need to stop being lazy and letting their kids eat fast food frequently, especially if their kids are not very active. It is the responsibility of the parents to feed their kids three healthy meals a day and to make sure that they are maintaining a healthy diet. I do not believe that if fast food industries started putting nutrition labels on their food that it would have a significant difference on the amount of food that people eat.
Childhood Obesity Epidemic Everybody is always talking about childhood obesity in the Houston. They say we feed our children junk food, and that they get very little playing time outside, but do you know that childhood obesity happens not only in the Houston but all over the United States? Even in some other countries. The childhood obesity rate has climbed in other cities such as St. Louis, Great Britain, Washington D.C, and Philadelphia. But the main question this paper will answer is, “What causes the childhood obesity rate to rise in these different cities and how can we prevent them?” As we know the main causes to obesity is lack of exercise or poor eating habits, but in these different cities those aren’t the only reasons that childhood
What makes the chicken sandwich is the chicken sauce, which can only be found locally; people are definitely missing out on that. To top it of you get delicious salty deep fried French Fries. You say you don’t like chicken? No worries, they have excellent burgers too. While Midas Burger doesn’t have the best price in town, they offer a great value for the price.
Meanwhile, our already poor school loses profit to these fast food restaurants. The lunch staff works hard to make a good lunch. If students were to go out to eat, time, money, and food would be wasted. If people bought school lunch instead of fast food, the school would have more money to make even better lunches. If an open campus is allowed, the school
False advertising is also another unpleasant practice that fast food companies use to lure in costumers. Some of these practices include no warning labels on advertisements like there are on dangerous things like tobacco and confusing labels on food served that lead customers into eating more calories than intended. David Zinczenko advocates that it is some of the fast food companies fault for the decline in America’s general health. At the end, David chooses not to complain about the legalities, but instead encourages us to let the justice system do its work. In the article David Zinczenko discusses “Shouldn't we know better than to eat two meals a day in fast-food restaurants” we the people of America should know by now that it is
What about the greasy pizza your brother ordered that you've been looking forward to all week? You can't have because you need to lose weight. These things could happen to you if you don't live a healthy enough life. It's okay to sit around and be lazy sometimes, but not all the time. Just like it's okay for us to eat all of our favorite sweet or greasy foods, just not constantly.
Prof. Neuman ENC 101 March 10, 2014 “Don’t Blame the Eater” Summary “Don’t Blame the Eater” by David Zinczenko points out how easy it is to go and buy unhealthy food. Due to the growing expense of the fast food industry, unhealthy food can be purchased at any fast food restaurant, but the numbers of nutritional restaurants are declining. If you drive down any street, you will find more than one fast food restaurant, but if you drive back up the block you will not find a place to buy healthy foods. As an obese child, David recalls the limited options of nutritional food in and outside of his household. Parents today are allowing their children to eat more fast food because it is fast, convenient and seemly affordable.
Instead most people blame the fast food companies. In the article “Its Portion Distortion” by Shannon Brownlee it is portion sizes and the lack of nutritional guides that are the cause of obesity. While some people may believe that is true I have no idea how to read a nutritional guide and I was taught as I was growing up that fast food is bad for your health. For example the movie “Super Size me” was made to warn people about the dangers of eating nothing but fast food. My family eats out only once or twice a week and the other days we eat home cooked meals.
The average lunch will cost about $7.75, while the dinner fare’s a bit more at an average of $15.00 a plate. All the main course options are accompanied by a side salad with house dressing, and your choice of side dish. Having said that, the menu is limited for the health conscious person and offers meat, meat and more meat. You won’t find meat substitutes, pastas or even many garden vegetables unless they are fried and beer battered. The menu at TexAz is limited to main courses and does not offer the patron’s starter foods such as snacks and appetizers and the kid friendly menu may not be very “kid friendly” for picky
Cynthia Torres Don’t Blame The Eater This short reading was mainly about how teenagers and young children are always eating unhealthy food verses eating healthy food then turn to become obese, ill, or even gaining diabetes. In response to this issue angered parents are then pursuing a lawsuit against fast food restaurants for their children in having these issues. I believe this is utterly ridiculous, only because I don’t think it’s the child fault that they are getting in these sticky situations. I believe it is the parents’ fault only because people do not all of a sudden get obese from eating one hamburger, it takes time, and over that time there is a visibility in the body that changes. Parents should see these changes and realize
