Overall, I believe Oliver acknowledged important points regarding nutrition. For instance, I agree with Oliver about the crucial role parents play in their children’s live concerning their health. A child is exposed into this world with no prior knowledge or education on food. They rely on the wisdom of their parents to give them the best possible care. If a parent is failing to provide a child with the proper nutrients to sustain a healthy lifestyle, I believe it is a form of neglect.

Previously, i have acknowledged that parents are failing to educate their children on proper nutrition and that the increase of junk food’s consumption needs to be addressed.

Obesity has been a huge epidemic for a while now, more than two-thirds (68.8 percent) of adults are overweight or obese. In the article “Food for Thought”, written by Jennifer Grossman, projects that by bringing back home economics class will be a good result to fight off obesity. Grossman proposes that young adults who take home economics class will have a better perspective of what kind of food they should eat and not eat.
