  5. In my opinion I strongly believe that Americans need to cut back drastically on the fast food items and eat more healthy food items such as salads or even subway. You can still eat good food and be healthy just the right kind of nutritional foods. Such as fruits and vegetables and many more things. I know that Americans are obese due to the fast food corporations Putting so much advertisment out there in the media ,cartoons ,and toys to get the kids to want to go back. To many people go to eat there just because they don't feel like cooking.In my opinion.......

  7. American's eat how they choose to eat, some decide to eat healthy some decide to eat not so healthy. No one really wants to turn out to be obese or have type 2 diabetes, but in a way they set their selves up for it by eating to much fast food, at restaurants, and also not wanting to eat enough "healthy food". Once every 2 months would be okay to eat fast food or go out for a family dinner, but more than once a month doesn't turn out to be so good. Of course the food taste to delicious they make it to your standards.
    Addiction will become a big problem from sugars,carbs, etc. Parents taking their kids to Mcdonald's, Burger King..Is giving them the wrong idea on how to choose better foods.
    If people choose to not eat healthy im sure they know the outcome on their choices.

  9. My opinion on this subject is that yes americans eat a lot and most of it is unhealthy food and that this is what causes our nation to be the most obese. however this is not 100% the peoples fault. For example in other countries like lets say Australia, there government has banned many food like Craft macaroni and cheese, also their fast food is not allowed to use unhealthy products unlike ours.

    If our government would put these bans on food like other countries it would make our food more healthy.It would also make the companys have to pay more for their food so they can still earn money so they will yes, earn less money but we get more healthy food.

    however until our government or food companies start caring about our health it is our job as people to watch what we eat so we don't eat too much unhealthy food.people need to start eating more healthy and possible start eating less by doing so our country would be Healthier and less Obese.

  10. I believe that if people cared about there health they wouldn't go to fast food places people eat because there depressed or just because it makes them feel good kind of like a drug. i think people should go to fast food places once or twice a week to help the health population. people should care about there bodies by eating this it shows that they don't care about putting garbage in there bodies. By doing this they are receiving diseases that are not necessary and that harms them. Fast food places don't care about feeding you right they only want your money don't let them control you like that i think we need to stand up and only eat out there once in a while.

  11. Today, food is processed in factories to make the product last. Companies will do anything that they can in order to make sure their food product doesn't spoil, spoiled product means lost money. All they care about is money, not if it is healthy or not.
    If someone doesn't have the self control, or are just too lazy to select healthier foods (some can be hard to find) then we are going to have obese and diabetes problems. They no longer think about what the food item will do to our bodies, its just a matter of does it taste good and how long is its shelf life.

  12. My opinion is that people can eat whatever they want if they choose to ignore the consequences thats their problem. I also think that most people don't have enough money to eat healthy.

  13. I think people should be able to choose what they want to eat but when you choose to eat at like McDonalds or Burger King or places like that its not the best decision but if you don't have a lot of money and you need to fill your familys stomach then you need to do what you got to do!

  14. I think that the way America eats is bad.They way we market food and the prices we put on it are just wrong. But I also think it is peoples choices to eat whatever they want too.Also,to many people are inactive and don't do anything.
