OUR GOVERNMENT KILLING US SLOWLY.

In this country there are large amounts of unhealthy food being sold more than healthy food. For example soda, fast food, and hormones being injected into foods. The government plays a role in this because they give the companies a license to sell unhealthy food. There companies like KFC,  McDonald's etc that have a menu full of death. This connects to the economics because consumers spend money a lot on these products. Eating unhealthy foods is a problem because it can lead to heart problems, obesity, and high blood pressure. To avoid these things companies should take away the unhealthy foods and put the healthy food out. They would do this by voting, protesting, campaigning, and passing laws. The healthy food that we need to eat are sweet potatoes, whole grains, broccoli, and watermelon. All these healthy food have vitamin C.

  1. I agree but then again i have to slightly disagree. The reason why is because the main reason is chickens having certain sicknesses and vaccines in them that's having girls (especially) mature fast and giving people sickness/ infections such as E-coli and salmonella (two main bacteria). Another reason why i disagree is because the veggtables are being affected by these bacteria because like in the movie, the cows manuir ends up washing onto the greens (vegtables) due to the rain. So,if all our natural resources are being contaminated, why would the gov't allow this?
    I understand that fast food is killing people slowly but my question for you is that why is the gov't allowing this?

  2. I kinda agree because your right unhealthy food are being sold more then healthy food.That's because unhealthy food is much cheaper and they know they can make more money with unhealthy food. Healthy food is expensive and sometimes it does not really taste that good. Yeah your right the more people eat in fast food restaurants the more sick and unhealthy they get. “Anything that you do that’s not fast food is terrific." as said its better to eat more at home or anything that is not fast food is much better then eating at a fast food restaurants.
