Issues Regarding the Consumer Science of Health and Food Intake

Not only are we wasting time, but we are remaining silent and still, while watching the quality of life crumbling. The food and eating habits, are the direct victims; the ingredients, quality and the provenance not printed or hidden on labels is the fraud that we are paying for. Consequently, for the agenda that creates the deterioration of the products affect us at least twice: First for the overall quality and the price increase that’s justified through the packaging that is in most cases is cause of pollution and works at his best for the disguising what we should be aware of. As a secondary cause I can bring forward the possibility of needing medical attention. Adding a third one is the crime that rates as the worst deprivation of humanity’s property, found in drinking

In recent discussions of obesity, food, and health, a controversial issue has been whether what people consider being healthy or obese. People share their personal beliefs or experiences about being healthy and about what others need to do or eat to be healthy. On one hand, some people find ways to blame others about the unhealthy eating habits our society has, while other people think that we are responsible for our eating habits, and that we need to choose the healthiest way to eat.

I believe the two most important guidelines are chapter 6,Helping Americans Make Healthy Choices, and increasing our consumption of vegetables, fruits, and calcium, discussed in Chapter 4. If we continue to help Americans make healthy choices, and make those choices visible to communities, we might be able to get more people physical active and therefore have a healthier country. Increasing consumptions of vegetables, fruit, and calcium will reduce your risk of many chronic diseases, stroke, cancer, and diabetes. Calcium, fruits, and vegetables make your body stronger and maintain your body, without them your body becomes weak.

Food safety and assistance is a big problem in the United States. The government has many different programs to help the needy and keep the food regulated.

Although, there has been an increase of awareness, not enough, on how the industry grows food, processes, and what Americans consume. The United States is riddled with food industry immorality, obesity, and inadequate nutrition education. The government should have more control of the food industry, beyond the mandating of Nutrition Facts labels. In order to enhance the life quality of Americans, the government should partake in a more significant role with food industry regulation.

Pretika Singh Dabney Lyons English 100/S 28 March 2018 Portfolio Cover Letter The drafting of my first essay on defining food was relatively stress free.

According to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) more than one third (34.96%) of U.S adults are obese. This proves that people are not taking care of their bodies and being aware of the types of foods that go in their mouths. The issue is that many people are disagreeing with the government regulating what we eat, however if this law is not enforced people will be free to buy excessive amounts of unhealthy sugary foods, leading them to a chronic disease. Even though sugary drinks and foods can have a good taste and be satisfying to many, the government should regulate what we eat because there will be less people with chronic illness, it will be less money wasted on health care for obese people, and there will be less individuals consuming trans fats.

Today the food industry makes lucrative deals with television companies to promote their products through advertisements. Large food corporations make billions of dollars off the consumers by giving them what they want. However, many of the products they are selling us are consequential to our health, the environment, and the workers in the industry.
