Attention
all viewers! Recent studies have shown that the foods that we love the most,
are killing us slowly. According to Top 10 Junk Foods,
common foods that teenagers can easily find are French fries, a can of soda or
chips. This junk food is found at an affordable price. Therefore everyone will
buy them because they find them delicious and might even think they are
nutritious. If our country increased the junk food prices and lowered the
fruits and 100 percent fruit juice was at a cheaper price then our country
wouldn’t be in an Obesity crisis.
When
we get hungry, we want something to eat fast and hot. That’s where the idea
fast food restaurants came from. Before, the U.S did not have such a system of
fast food because they knew that if the food were out for too long, it would
begin to spoil. Then, they made up a system in which the food was going to be
ready. This process is horrible because its fried fat, and/or through the
microwave. This may sound disgusting but it’s the truth. Millions of Americans
love fast food restaurant. That’s where obesity comes in. You see, when you are
cooking greasy fat then you are serving poison to the community. You’re killing
our country for a dollar a burger. If someone was hungry and it was between the
food that is home or a fast food restaurant, 2 out of 3 people chose fast food
because they don’t want the wait. This food is horrible for the body but like
it tastes good, the community doesn’t mind.
Obesity
rates have also gone up in the United States because we are currently in a
recession. Unemployment rates
are going up because there is not enough money and not enough money means not
enough food. Unless, you buy the unhealthy food that can potentially kill you.
We need change and we need it now. The prices in our country have to change. What’s
bad for us is extremely affordable but what’s good for us is horrible. How can
this society not be as mindful with the new generation and putting them at risk
of so many illnesses?
There
needs to be change now. In our country the obesity rates for a male is about 31
percent. This needs to stop now. There is no reason why we can’t eat what we
want without having to pay a lot of money. All of this fast food is causing
cancer to our citizens because the fries from fast food restaurants contain a
chemical that causes cancer. The community does not know this because we are
not aware. We buy but do not know what we are buying! This has to stop.
There are many ways that the new
generation can eat these foods while leaving original flavors and no artificial
flavors. If our government makes a change in our food change we can be able to
lower the rates of obesity. For example, if they say that a bag of chips, costs two dollars and a
bunch of bananas is 35 cents per pound then the country will want to eat the
banana. The country goes for the cheapest item. IF the healthier things aren’t
as expensive than I can guarantee that we would have a healthier child rate.
We can change this now. Change is
something that we all need and especially this country. We need healthier foods
for lunch, and more affordable prices for the foods we need to eat. We had so
many farmers and now we have none. Like unemployment is so high and farmer
rates are so low, then why don’t we hire farmers? If we hire these farmers,
then our fruits will be more affordable and our country will be at a healthier
state.
