Eat Food : Food Defined By Marion Nestle

Food is an essential part of our life, to stay alive. Food is necessary for our bodies to develop, replace, and repair cells and tissues; produce energy to keep warm, move, and work; carry out chemical processes such as digestion of food; and protect against resist, fight infection, and recover from sickness. Food is made up of nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, protein, and fat. The body cannot function properly if one or more of the nutrients are missing. It has been common today to dismiss that, the earlier a person starts to eat healthy foods, the more he or she will stay healthy.

With having true genuine intentions in eating healthy people fall into the ideas advertised by cooperation’s that their products are healthy. Food corporations protect themselves through ingredient secrecy and even through the FDA because they are not required by law to disclose their ingredients; however, the chemicals used need to be considered by the FDA to be Generally Regarded As Safe (Schlosser 25). People should take responsibility in the research of the food products they consume; therefore, allowing an individual to be wise and informed of what their really consuming. Maybe, instead of cutting corners in trying to eat healthy with false idealistic advertisement consumers should consider eating fresh fruits, vegetables, and cooking ingredients. Consumers should like the author Pollan suggested in his rules of thumb: avoid food products unfamiliar, unpronounceable ingredients, and products containing more than five ingredients (Pollan

The state of the American Health in the U.S has become an increasing concern of many Americans. An article entitled “11 Facts about American Eating Habits,” addresses the state of food in the U.S by stating, “Healthiness of the food we eat decreases by 1.7 percent for every hour that passes in the day.” Experts and scientists in the U.S has raised questions about regarding the different ways food is now being produced. While individuals are usually not aware of the ingredients that food contains, many people continue to have unhealthy eating habits. In the past few decades, food production has included numerous artificial ingredients that are said to be the cause of various health problems. Various artificial ingredients that are commonly

More and more studies have gone into how to eat healthier; and while many believe that they have the best idea to fix the issue there are few who actually know what they are talking about. David Freedman does not particularly have all the answers but he does have a good idea of what he thinks is right. His views may not be the best, but to him and many others the views that are embodied in his article are far superior ways to handle it than many others believe. The author believes that through technology we can create foods that are more appealing and more healthy. The main purpose of this essay is to analyze Freedman’s article and take a deeper look into how his beliefs, like the one stated in the previous sentence, are right or wrong.

A good example of how society is getting misleading education on how to feed themselves is well explained by Cooper in her talk (1:12): “(…) the way the government commodifies food, the way the government oversees out food, the way the USDA puts food on kids’ plates that’s unhealthy, and allows unhealthy food into schools.”

So in hindsight, the correlation between food and health are not existing. The way we eat will not dictate ate health negatively but will lead our survival and to possibly thrive, then what is the point of all of these Diets and calorie counting, because the main goal is survival.

The article Simple Rules for Healthy Eating by Aaron E. Carroll which mainly focuses on what you should and shouldn’t eat more of. It also mentions how putting salt, fats, butter, and oil into your food is a necessity. This article makes me think about how eating heavily processed foods may be causing the worst health outcomes. I agree with what is being said in this article because the author list most of the food products that may be causing you or a loved ones to have health problems. Also, it mentions when eating at a restaurant you should take into consideration that not all of your food may be unprocessed. It also mentions how you shouldn’t judge what other people are eating because everyone has the rights to do what they want no matter

Getting fit and losing weight has always been the huge craze of New Year’s Resolutions. But has the thought that ever crossed the minds of these motivated individuals that this process may be made easier by eating real food. As Schlosser begins to explain how silent the flavor industry is about the truth, he adds that the industry believes they are “protecting the reputations of beloved brands” because “fast food chains… would like the public to believe that the flavors of their food somehow originate in their restaurant

I once fell victim to the almost trancelike state that the food industry casts upon its consumers. I was more than content to eat the things that tasted delicious. Gluttony sets in fast when that’s all you want to eat. After realizing I had a problem, eating nothing but garbage on a daily basis and gaining copious amounts of weight for someone my age, I decided to take better control over the things that I put on my plate. There was a year of nonstop fruits and veggies from the farmer’s market because it still had a quality taste while being substantially healthier than any food that was readily available for my convenience at the store. My story was one of trial and error. It was a deep gouge in my confidence that was necessary to break me away from society’s cornucopia of health

Many advertisements nowadays don’t advertise objects with the verity of their quality. Rather, they get someone in the famous industry to advertise their product so the people that are watching see their favorite famous person and want to buy it because they use it. When most of the people that promote it don’t use it, or it never truly works as they say, and another way they advertise is through foods.

In addition, all of these can be achieved by having a smart move on to deciding which

To add more to your and Megan's comments, I think Maxfield's message behind the quote is trying tell us that food is doesn't pick their side as good or bad but food is ethically neutral so trust yourself (TSIS 446). What Maxfield is saying is be mindful when categorized a type of food is good or bad because you might be mislead by a hype, an advertising or someone else intention. For instance, people say that eating too much carbs will make you fat but I eat a lot of carbs all the time and I still remain thin. So I should trust myself about eating carbs and not let other invaded my decision.
