Obesity : The Country Of Fast Foods

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.

Americans believe fast meals are beneficial because of the decrease of the prices. Consumers are mislead to assume that corporations want the best interest of the people, when in reality profit is all that matters. Obesity is a controversial topic which the public has divided to who is at fault for the obesity affect to the nation. Changes must be set in order to better educate young adults on nutrition and limit the intake of processed foods and deleterious foods saturated in fat.

This is because 1 in 4 Americans eat at Mcdonalds and other fast food restaurants every day where they are served “toxic food”. With the rise of fast food all over the world obesity has doubled in the past 20 years. At this rate obesity is expected to pass smoking in deaths. If this trend continues 1 in 3 children will get diabetes and 1 in 20 will develop type 2 diabetes in their lifetime. Also 17 million people have diabetes just in the U.S. Also Mcdonalds has spent over 1.4 billion on ads to promote their food.

In America almost two thirds of the nation is overweight. That is about 79.6 million people who are obese. Fast food is without a doubt the problem why these statistics are so high. According to Shannon Brownlee, a journalist for the Sacramento Bee “ It’s Portion Distortion That Makes America Fat” she mentions how fast food corporations are luring buyers into their offers . In another article by David Weintraub “The Battle Against Fast Food Begins in the Home” he focus more on self responsibility rather than fast food restaurants being convenient everywhere you go. In America, the obesity epidemic is caused by the lack of parent not taking full responsibility for their childrens health, as well as fast food industries distorting portion sizes in order to make more

There are a lot of dichotomies in trends when it comes to overweight and obesity by sex and race that are statistically significant with the Hispanic group. Among children ages 2 to 19, Hispanic boys are more likely than Hispanic girls to be obese. It is noted that Hispanic boys of this age group, 2- 19 years old are obese (NCLR, 2010). The target audience for this health promotion topic is Hispanic male children ages 2 to19 years residing in Norcross Georgia. This paper focuses on the literature reviews on the prevalence of obesity within this age group, the intervention strategies, evidences and analysis as well as roles in reducing the problem.

(Supersize Me) The Franchise owners conveniently offer special packages to save money and invite the family to indulge in the food. The people take this offer instead of planning a healthy alternative use this as the easiest instead of doing the other option. The government lets this pass and do not attempt to change the culture that surrounded by fast food.American government actually promoted the consumption of it in schools by the option for students to buy the fast food products for lunch.(SuperSize Me) Even a guest speaker who went to the school to talk about obesity promoted the consumption at one of the fast food chains. The franchises connect with the people on a personal level with special promotions to bring new people to spend money. The government lenient and in favor of it in a system that include children with the available option to consume fast food on a daily basis.

“Rules are made to be broken” is a quote with a deeper truth than most people recognize. Governing bodies pass laws for their societies to deter dangerous or immoral acts. These laws guide humankind toward constructive actions and away from destructive ones. While laws provide structure for society, situations arise that deserve special handling. The authorities should absolve a person of committing criminal behavior if they grant special permission to that individual to perpetrate the act or if the individual does so with righteous intentions.

America’s reliance on fast food as a part of the food system, which is sustainable, the benefit of eating at a fast food restaurant is people do not have the time to cook and is efficient and easy.

Little did the consumer know as each bite continues their health is decaying in a number of minutes increasing the risk of losing their health, risking

Timing of senescence can lead to overall yield decline, especially if it occurs during a critical period like grain-filling. In the present study, we shed light on addressing problems associated with early senescence, through characterization of microbial communities in the rhizosphere of rice isogenic lines at grain-filling stage. We further correlated some physiological traits associated with early senescence and the identified root microbiome. Our results are unique in that they revealed that changes in plant genotype related to senescence may shape the root microbiome, in addition the combined action of genotype and pH interactions is assumed to drive microbial diversity and composition in the rhizosphere soil.
