David starts by teasing these overweight individuals that are bring a lawsuit against McDonalds, but then later admits that he used to be overweight as a child and was able to change his life around. He made a point to show health concerns with being obese and eating fast food regularly, such as type two diabetes which has risen about twenty-five percent since 1994. This raise in diabetes also requires much funding for the United States to spend to try to find a cure. David explains how there is very few alternatives for the youth of America because those health alternatives are more expensive and harder to find. False advertising is also another unpleasant practice that fast food companies use to lure in costumers.
Christian Hahn Mr. Smith AP English October 25, 2013 P2B The Argument against TV During the year 1999 there was an essay, written by Corbett Trubey, about how TV can be bad. The argument he is trying to make was that people should not watch a lot of TV because it is a waste of time and people should find something more productive to do. The intended audience is for college graduates that have a job or a lot of money to pay for expenses. In “Argument against TV” Trubey wants as many people to stop watching TV and enjoy the outdoor activities you could be doing other than watching TV. Trubey uses his own statistics that do not have a reliable source throughout the article.
Steven Johnson argues that today’s shows make viewers follow many plots, sub-plots, and characters, allowing for more mental stimulation, and as a result makes them smarter. Granted, contemporary shows provide more opportunities for mental deduction and speculation of future events than programs in the past, but Americans are still wasting their time watching television. Whether or not the shows “make them smarter” is not a scientifically proven fact, and there have been twelve medical studies since 1985 linking excessive television watching to increasing rates of obesity (Johnson, Trubey). Although scientists have not proven that watching television makes you smarter, scientists confirm that television leads to obesity. One might try reading a book while on an exercise bike, training the body and mind.
Obesity results when the size or number of fat cells in a person's body increases (Michael D. Myers, M.D., Inc.)” A number of states are purposing bills to band Tran’s fat in restaurants and some people agree with it. Since obesity rates are so alarming some people believe the government should intervene with this problem as they did in the cases of smoking and seat belts. Since people cannot control what they eat the government should have a say in what people consume. Others say that private citizens should be accountable for their own actions. People are accountable for their health, so the government should not be intervening.
Romeo is talking in paradoxes; he does this to emphasize that love is confusing. He says that love is everything except for what it actually is. Since Romeo thinks that he is in love although no one loves him, love can be two things that are opposites at the same time. Although Romeo is happy to be in love, he does not like the thought of love itself because if no one loves him back, love will become more confusing. Romeo is hopelessly in love with Rosalind which he explains when he says, "I am too sore enpiercèd with his shaft To soar with his light feathers, and so bound, I cannot bound a pitch above dull woe.
reports that Every day in the United States, 105 people die as a result of drug overdose. You would not advocate drug use who why encourage Rainbow soda. The soda has too many negative impacts to be benefical. Along with negative mental and physical effects the rainbow soda degrades society because society cannot progress on an intellectual level or otherwise if people repeat the same meaningless taks everyday without curiousity about themselives or philosolize about things in life. The Joker himself said "WIthout the lie-nectar the little fool thinks more clearly" Society as a whole improves without rainbow.
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
It is safe to say that no amount of secondhand smoke is acceptable for a child to be around. We need to get more information out to the public and show the effects it has on not just their child but all children around. One inhale of side stream smoke can kill. Our government has banned smoking cigarettes in buildings such as restaurants so why not make a ban on smoking cigarettes in vehicles or around children
With many children experiencing obesity, the economy markets are affected because the way children are forced to change the way they eat. Some companies will benefit from the change whereas others will suffer a loss. When the demand for a certain product rises because obese children have to change his or her way of eating it affects the market of supply. Affecting the market of supply lowers the consumption of certain products and raises the demand for healthier food items. This also causes a change in the sales of clothes as children losses more weight, affecting more than one demand and supply
Most families turn to technology to keep their children occupied without realizing that excessive consumption may harm their health.
