An on-going issue that has been occurring in the United States is obesity due
to the fact that people aren’t paying attention to the things that they eat.
Many people would rather go through life unaware of the things they eat and the
place where it comes from. Food place like Mcdonalds, Burger King, Wendys and
others are more accessible than an organic food market. According to the
Huffingtonpost Jane Robbins she referred to the infamous movie called “Super
Size Me” where a middle age man decided to eat mcdonalds for 30 days. In the
article Robbins wrote, “It
turned out that in the 30 days, the then 32-year-old man gained 25 pounds, his
cholesterol levels rose dangerously as did fatty accumulations in his liver,
and he experienced mood swings, depression, heart palpitations and sexual
dysfunction.” This is just a prime example of how fast food
isn’t healthy for you.

Richard,
ReplyDeleteWhat should the government do about this? What connections can be made between what you mention here and the economy? You start to talk about accessibility to organic markets, what does this have to do with economic status?
