However almost all meat we consume comes from factory farms that do numerous things to the meat to make it processed, otherwise known as unhealthy. Today, I am going to tell you about what eating processed meat can do to your bodies and then what eating a plant based diet can do for you. (Transition: First, I want to start off by informing you about the effects of processed foods). Body I. Several recent research studies have shown that on average, that today’s ordinary American now carries an extra 23lbs of fat.
So while contemplating the question, I thought, what better place than Wal-Mart. This superstore can be seen as a description of our American culture. Wal-Mart carries items from A-Z whether it be groceries, car supplies, electronics, clothing, toys, nearly everything. People can pick and choose what they need from one location. In days of the past, if people wanted meat, they would go to a butcher shop.

The book Fast Food Nations by Eric Schlosser is written to give the viewers an understanding on where their money is heading to when they purchase fast food.

It also shows the dark side of the industry. Such as unsafe and unsanitized slaughterhouses with zero respect to the employees. He provides factual evidence to back up this information.
Even though Spurlock makes many valid points in his documentary, I still believe that the eating habits of Americans today are based on their own choices and they should be responsible for those choices. According to the documentary Super-Size Me by Morgan Spurlock, 60% of adults in America are either overweight or obese. Spurlock decided to make the film when he heard about two teenage girls who filed lawsuits blaming McDonalds for them being overweight. His experiment involved him eating only McDonalds for 30 days to see what would happen to his body. Spurlock decided to follow four main rules during this experiment.
Over the course of a month, Spurlock commited himself to a diet consisting purely of McDonalds menu items. After certain specifications and stipulations were put into place, Spurlock began his "McDiet" which soon proved to be a gruesome and nauseating experience. Almost instantly after the start of the documentary, it becomes apparent that Spurlock was subjecting himself for the sake of health revelations. In the humorous, insightful documentary Super Size Me, director Morgan Spurlock combines his unique style of participatory narration with strong appeals to ethos, pathos and logos in order to successfully educate the audience of the negative health impacts of fast food on the collective physique. Sporlock takes on the unique stle of participatory narration in order to create an intense level of engagement between the filmmaker and the viewers, thus making the film more personal and effective.
Next, estimate the dollar values to ensure you can afford all of your items. In estimating the approximate dollar values, you should write the estimated cost right next to each item. For example; “3lbs ground beef - $10”, “2pks rice-a-roni - $2.50”, etc. These items may also be written down according to categories which may coincide with the grocery aisles. If you find that you do not have enough money to cover the entire list, you will need to cut back by deleting a few items.
The reason I believe that my diet is so poor is my life, I do a lot of eating on the run. Usually I have burgers, Pepsi and sweets. How could I have thought this was healthy? My eating habits usually consist of large amounts of junk food such as, cakes, cookies or pies. I also drink several Pepsis a day.
According to the nutrition labels in today’s generic meat brands such as Great Value, Oscar Meyer, and Hampshire Farms, preservatives and other chemicals such as sodium phosphates, sodium ascorbate, sodium nitrate and hormones are added. “Growth promoting implants have been used extensively in beef production for over 30 years,” says Carl Birkelo of Schering-Plough Animal Health in the article Beef Cattle Implants. Some examples of synthetic hormones that are added to the meat production in order to increase production are Zeranol, Trenbolone, and Melengestrol. These chemicals can harm your body by stunting children’s growth and lead to the development of colon, prostate, and breast cancer in humans. Why take the risk of developing these illnesses or side effects when you could be eating healthy, chemical- free meat, that was naturally raised?
