English 101 5/20/15 Will the Government Regulate our Meals? Obesity is becoming a more prominent issue in the United States as time progresses, but why is it happening? Well, the main factors of obesity are poor eating habits, an absence of physical activity, and bad nutritional standards. Economic growth and modernization could very well be a factor in the increase of obesity because a majority of our meals are cheap, convenient, and processed for today’s Americans. However the food we eat is high in fat and sodium and lack the nutrition needed to lead a healthy life.
Osteoporosis is when bones start losing calcium and get weak. Children with the highest use took in over 300 calories each day than children with lower use take less but not so much. So it shouldn't be sold in school. It also looks like the biggest problem in the future. I asked some parents that is it good to sell sodas in school and they also said NO and are thinking that it should only sold to people 18 or older.
About 80% of female Baby Boomers worked which was also a contribution to the two income family. The higher percentage of two income families contributes to the simulation of the economy from purchases. Based on the financial planning literature provided by, The Social Security Bulletin (2003/2004), a fifty percent replacement rate represents a shortfall that could create economic challenges and necessitate lifestyle adjustments. The fifty percent replacement will not only have an effect on benefits but also the simulation of the economy. A little over a third of the current retirees but over two-fifths of near term and Baby Boomer retirees will replace less the three-quarters of their preretirement income.
Is your income affecting your children's weight? Jacklyn A. Rigsby English 122 Instructor Brian Davis 05/07/2012 Childhood obesity is a growing problem for the youth of today. There are many factors that contribute to obesity in children including bad eating habits and lack of physical stimulation. But, the biggest problem today is the affect of the child's eating habit due to the fact that they are in a lower income family. Many may not believe it, but the economy is to blame for some of the children being over weight and unhealthy.
The calorie intake is one tenth of the daily food intake for the average American showing that unhealthy food is becoming a trend. Current food and beverage marketing puts kids at health risks. The consumption of unhealthy food is corrupting America's youth. The growth of companies and unhealthy foods popularity is proving to be the demise of America's health. But who is to really blame for the rise of childhood obesity in America?
\The Rise of Hunger at the Los Angeles County Area Though it is a sad truth, U.S. citizens in the Los Angeles County are not being ale to eat, causing hunger. Author Alexandra Zavis's article from LA Times, “Hunger touches more than 1.7 million in Los Angeles.” Zavis had claimed that definite amount of people cannot afford to feed themselves or their kids. Study that found, most people are struggling and cannot offer plentiful food for a healthy lifestyle for all the household members because of the qualifications of getting federal nutrition welfares. Zavis says more than half of Californians do not qualify for food stamps by the low income families that argue to what they can make on the end of the days, one of the examples Zavis explains
It delays the return of menstrual periods and helps in spacing pregnancies. Breast feeding also reduces the risk of breast and ovarian cancers. Breast feeding benefits society and families by saving on health care costs as the breast fed babies get sick less because of the immune system they get from the milk. It saves the family hundreds of dollars that could have been spent on formula. Breast milk is a naturally-renewable resource that requires no packaging, shipping, or disposal.
In fact, healthier food can be a bit more expensive but with the help of the food stamp program should make it easier for low income families to eat a healthier lifestyle. One of the reasons I truly think that obesity in children exists is because there is a lack of education. Parents need to be taught healthy alternatives for their children. One of the problems with being of low income is that you have to learn new strategies of survival and that is survival of life in general. I would certainly not label that a high volume of obesity children are from low income and uneducated
Obesity’s effect on our culture and health costs is only rising, making this problem detrimental for the future for the US. We can’t keep eating like this when we can’t pronounce the ingredients in a strawberry milkshake. Children are struggling with diseases that, in the past, only adults had. Physical activity has become non-existent in American’s lives and if we don’t make changes soon, it might be the too late to slim our nation
Not only is this a waste of money, it could be spent on many other worthwhile things in life if they didn’t have an eating problem. Another helpful idea is that McDonalds needs to get rid of the super size menu. Not only is the super size menu unhealthy, it is a huge proportion of food that I sold for a relatively cheaper price. By getting rid of the supersize menu, obese people will have an even harder time deciding what they can get
