Of course children are going to go for the food that is unhealthy because it taste better. Eating healthy at a young age will prevent obesity. According to the movie Fed Up “ over 95% of all americans will be overweight or obese in two decades”. The cause of obesity is from the food products that are in the stores today. The movie Fed Up also states “ there are 6,000 food products in america, 80% of them contain sugar”. If the government do not control what the industries are putting in the food the industries will keep doing what they are doing. Unhealthy foods are being sold in schools and it seems to me that the schools don't seem to care what they eat. If schools keep serving unhealthy food, the children will keep choosing food that is unhealthy because it tastes better and it is right in front of them. If they keep it up they will start to gain weight and it will be hard for them to lose it. The movie Fed Up shows how most children go for unhealthy food, and they can't help it. So later on they end up having trouble losing weight even after being active. Most of industries are targeting children at a young age so they can keep it up in adulthood.

Some of these products are actually healthy until these multi million dollar company's pay processors to deep fry their food. The company's who makes the food has hundreds of added meats, such as: zinc oxide, copper gluconate, and potassium chloride. The company's don't care about these children's healthy, but as long as they're getting paid it's okay to
Fast foods are one of the main reasons of obesity in America. Fast food is a well known food of the American culture, so citizens eat more fast foods than any other country. More and more children are becoming obese from their exposure to fast food at an early age. If schools serve fast food such as Burger King or McDonalds full of fat and sodium, then that would mean some children would have to eat fast food everyday and that would increase the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and becoming obese. Many Americans eat fast food at least once a week, but imagine how this country would be if children would eat fast food every school day! If schools did serve fast food, it
“Heart religion” is another strong characteristic of evangelicalism. Since the reformation, when Martin Luther (1483-1546) called the sacramental system of the medieval Roman church as the “Babylonian Captivity of the Church”, protestants had the tendency to distrust tradition . But the process of the Protestantism was changing the meaning of faith from faith-expectancy to faith- doctrine. People even once attempted to verify one’s position as a Christian by accepting correct creeds . Only when the era of Evangelicalism came, personal conversion was seen as a norm for Christians, there was an outburst of desires to have powerful, transforming personal encounters with God. Religion became a personal choice based on personal experience not just

On the other hand, the major concern right is to fight that problem starting with the children since as most of the children attend to become adults in following unhealthy food, drinks so they can become bigger so they can look older by getting that size faster. The other type of children are trying only following the same habit because of their parents, and that depends on the way the parent living.
