The article, "The battle against fast food begins in the home" by Daniel Weintraub, explains how people are blaming McDonalds and other fast food restaurants such as Burger King, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Starbucks, and Pizza Hut for their obesity. The author disagrees with the blaming that people are doing. I also disagree. People are blaming and sueing the fast food restaurants for the decision they have made of being unhealthy. They are making comments such as, "The problem of obesity is so staggering, so out of control, that we have to do something."
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
The Fast Food Industry is responsible for obesity in America as they have many fast food restaurants typically many within a small radius providing cheap easy solutions to societies hunger. David Zinczenko, a writer for The New York Times, describes marketing powers in his assessment "Don't Blame the Eater" he states that just about all fast food restaurants falsely advertise their foods and pass to many as a "healthy" meal choice but little do people know is that they are still extremely unhealthy foods that should not be included in anybody's diet what so ever. There has been many varieties of marketing techniques developed over the years of the fast food industry's attempts to persuade others to eat at their establishments. The fact that the foods they are extremely unhealthy for people of all ages from kids to adults is helping to cause obesity throughout America although some may be aware of the risks the average American still continues to eat out at fast food establishments along with the family giving the fast food industry a chance to get the entire family hooked for life. Going to fast food restaurants to prove his theory about how horrible fast food restaurants are for the human body.
Food can be an addiction and with fast food corporations literally telling us to eat their food how can we resist? They know we cannot and therefore reap in the cash slowly killing every one of their consumers, but do not worry they are already conditioning a new generation of cheeseburger, french-fry eating consumers to take your place once you have died from a heart
In chapter 3 of the book, it reveals that Lia began having epileptic seizures when she was about 3 months old. But the Lees attributed the cause of the disease to that fact that Lia's older sister, Yer, slammed the front door of the family's apartment so loud that the noise of the door had frightened out of Lia body, and it became lost. However, the Lees family feel a mix of pride and concern toward Lia's illness because despite they were aware it is a potentially life- threatening disease, in Hmong religious belief, epilepsy is viewed as an honorable condition. And many people in the Hmong religion believe having epilepsy is a way to enter into the realm of the spirit and the
Complicated structure of research and development is another risk for Boeing. In addition, Boeing had outsourced two most critical parts of plane. Boeing can’t control the produce process of these two critical parts. This is a big risk for Boeing to finish the project on time with good quality. Boeing did not have all the technologies; don’t have enough time to build proper communication between complicated partners.
The cows have no say in what they have to eat so they are pretty much fed toxic garbage. Next, the food industry should be changed because each burger contains one-hundred different pieces of cows. Imagine people eating all of the cows on one farm. John White, a meat farmer, said that people are always calling him, complaining about people getting sick because of eating two bites of a burger and he is tired of it. Before, tobacco farming was very popular, but now it has changed to meat farming.
However, the tone quickly changes as Song begins to miss and need China. After describing an unfriendly run in with a landlord Song says “You find you need China: your one fragile identification, a jade link handcuffed to your wrist” (Song). Here we see Song relating to the sister across seas and knowing that she needs to be back with her family and the people that love her, like her mother. These two contrasting section of the poem are used to show that even though life may be tough and strenuous in China, the life lived in America can also be not as forgiving. Family and culture seem to always win the battle against rebellion to a new land, resulting in the speaker’s sister’s
This injustice took place in 1866; after a decade of injustice behaviors that the Chinese Americans received in all places such as being banned from certain jobs and the Anti – Chinese law in the state constitution of 1877, which took place after this case. In the preamble it says “we the people” and if they meant it then anyone should be able to testify in court. Also it states that “we the people,” “will secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves.” This that we promote justice; if that was true then it wouldn’t matter what culture we were because we are all Americans and justice would have been served to the criminal in the case. In the world of the Chinese Americans’ no rules apply, they are treated in a way that is not acceptable to the American lifestyle. They were not treated equally by the federal government or society and all three of these cases have shown the injustices and trials that the Chinese Americans have suffered.
So since they have low income they only thing they can do is go buy fast food. Arken and Houston also state more causes of obesity in the inner-city, “Obesity is determined by many factors (e.g inactivity, high-fat diet cultural preference)”(2).The culture the parents put their child in is basically by forced because of their living situation. With the low income it’s hard for the African American people to take their child to get health insurance, so they can’t receive advice from the medical establishment on how to prevent obesity. In, “Facing Up to Childhood Obesity” Phillips states the effects of inactivity in Great Britain. Arken and Houston do the same in Obesity in Inner-City African
