The eating habits that Americans have are either healthy or unhealthy. The healthy individuals are probably the ones that work out, eat the right foods, and watch their daily consumption. While the unhealthy ones are probably, just eating whatever is in their face at the time, drive everywhere, and don’t watch their daily intake. Because of this fact, it is easy to see why obesity is becoming a huge part in the nation. The authors are trying to prove that “Americans eat everywhere, all day long-an average of five meals a day, including snacks” (2012, p. 621). Many people don’t think they are actually eating a lot because their proportion size is smaller than a normal meal but if someone were to look back in the past they would find that the size would be much smaller. There are many consequences that come from being obese, the authors only use one but it is one that really puts a prospective on things. “Obesity already reduces the current life expectancy in the United States by four to nine months…Obesity rates among children and teens could knock off as many as five years from todays average of 77 ” (2012, p. 620).

America's children are not getting enough exercise, and the health risks due to obesity are becoming epidemic in nature. Even First Lady Michelle Obama is supporting an initiative to help children become more active and to provide for exercise (at least 30-60 minutes per day) in all schools. Even limited amounts of exercise can have great health benefits. When humans exercise, the brain produces chemicals that help enhance mood, limit cravings for sugars, and contribute to healthier joints, muscles, the heart, and kidneys. In turn, this translates into more productive work time, the ability to sleep better, increase memory, and reduce dependence on medications. Children are so vulnerable to this health risk that if it continues, over 60% of graduating seniors will be clinically obese. Written by a medical journalist, the book is designed for the lay reader but has a number of documented scholarly sources.

Obesity within adults is a prevalent problem in the United States, with over 51% of all adults suffering from obesity by the year 2030 (Joyner et al. 217). Obesity, or the state of being excessively overweight, is sometimes a result from what is known as food addiction. Much like an addiction to a substance, to be addicted to food is to constantly crave a certain food item (Joyner et al. 217). Obesity and food addiction tend to coincide with each other. That coexistence is shown primarily in the documentary Super Size Me, in which director Morgan Spurlock focuses on the way fast food and food addiction affect the human body.

A just government is fair, balanced, and gives back to the citizens of the nation that give consent to be governed so that the nation may be secure. It is important to have a just government so that the nation can continue to evolve.

The founders of the United States intended for all citizens to experience a just government through the Constitution. The Constitution established a balanced state and federal government, taxes that created federal revenue, and three branches of government that provided a just government for the United States.

Some people think that schools should offer only nutritious drinks such as white milk, water, and natural fruit juice and situationally, I agree with this policy. I believe only offering healthy drinks will be a great impact on our schools today. For instance, caffeine drinks can cause children in today's schools to become obese, which will cause children to live an unhealthy lifestyle when they grow older. Caffeine drinks can cause insomnia in children. Insomnia is a sleep disorder, for example, it will not allow children to sleep properly. Caffeine drinks will not give children's bones the nutrition that they need. However, serving nutritious drinks in our school cafeteria can be the solution to all of these brutal conflicts.

Many do not realize how this food can be addictive and how is a company responsible if a person has low-self-control? The facts are simple not just with advertisement there are simple

Author’s have different tactics with how they convey their themes, and how the message impacts the reader. Themes can be conveyed through characters, plot lines, or symbols. In Tennessee William’s play, The Glass Menagerie, the author effectively uses symbolism to convey that escaping reality is a method of coping with life’s hardships. First, William’s effectively uses the fire escape as a symbol of inward issues Tom tries to escape. Not only does the fire escape serve as a physical entrance to the Wingfield's apartment, it also serves as "a structure whose name is a touch of accidental poetic truth” (I.i.9).

I am a young, heterosexual Latina who is a full-time student and worker who resides in the South Bronx with her mother and father, aunt, two sisters and niece. My background roots from the beautiful island of Dominican Republic but was born in the United States. I belong to the Christian church and believe deeply in the Lord Jesus Christ. My political views lean more to the Democratic wing. I like the concept that in America, especially New York City, we see a variety of people, who are brought up with different cultures and I can make the comparison to a salad mixed into one bowl. We all keep our separate identities but share our cultures or assimilate to others.

There is nothing more important than health, especially in this day and age. It’s concerning that only 29 percent of high school students surveyed by the CDC (2011) had participated in at least 60 minutes of physical activity on all seven days before the survey. The CDC also noted that only 31 percent of these high school students attended physical education class daily. Only 8 percent of elementary schools, 6.4 percent of middle schools, and 5.8 percent of high schools provide daily physical education to all of its students (SHPPS, 2000). The government is missing the fact that physical education can actually improve test scores, not the opposite.
