Nutrition Vs. Profit

The influences of underlying health conditions can result in the need for specific nutrients as well as influencing what people are or aren’t able to eat.

Why does America have an obesity problem? Do we blame it on ourselves, the government, or the supermarket? It is obviously and individual’s responsibility to keep one’s self healthy, but are there ways the government can strive for an overall healthier diet for Americans? Can we change the manipulative ways of Super Markets and persuade them to look past profit? The American government should put in effort to provide a better dietary path for American citizens by working on motivating individuals to make better choices in their diet, pushing Super markets and industries to work together to lower prices of healthier foods, and placing policies and banning unhealthy ingredients in junk foods. It may not be the governments fault, but obesity is such a big issue in American culture that we need to make some major changes and the government is the only one who can make that happen.

In the United States the society needs to work on controlling this problem known as obesity. It is a problem that if does not get controlled sooner than later, will spiral out of hand even more. Before this spirals out of control society needs to take action to reducing the cost of healthy food amongst middle-low class citizens so they can eat the

Did you know that more than half of adults are overweight or obese? That's more than 121 million people living in the United States. We clearly need aid to help cure one of our country's largest problems. The government should regulate food and drink. This is because people have trouble making healthy decisions, it will help lower the amount of people who are overweight/obese, and because being unhealthy affects others.

The government should control the American peoples’ diet. Poor diet choices result in increased health care costs which affects every tax payer in America. Poor diet contributes to obesity which results in an increase in a plethora of diseases. The cost of these diseases has a huge economic impact on the country. The government owes it to its citizens to control these costs through diet regulation. It also owes its citizens the opportunity for optimal health.

Obesity has dangerously increased over the years. Its consequences can be fatal for the human immune system. Some of the complications of overweight are: heart disease, diabetes, malnutrition, cancer, and even death. However, the cost of healthy food is twice or three times more than the price of junk food. Everywhere healthy options are more expensive, even water costs more than sodas. Making healthier food more affordable, will contribute to having healthier population. I think healthy food options should be more affordable because cheaper prices for junk food promotes obesity and other severe health issues, and families with low income can’t afford the costs of a healthy lifestyle.

Due to the obesity epidemic, the government may need to intervene as a result of its own involvement in supporting institutions that are contributing to the problem. For example, the government supports the production of food commodities and subsidized U.S. crops, most notably sugar

“If and when the public chooses to use government power to offset the factors that promote obesity, we can do so. A day may come when we decide to limit advertising of unhealthy food, strengthen lifestyle teaching in schools, and create stronger financial incentives to adhere to lifestyle recommendations. The more eager we the people are to fight the obesogenic environment, the more responsive and effective our governments will become” (Medscape General Medicine, vol. 9, no. 4, 2007).

The government should have a say in people's diets. There are many people that feel that the government should have a say in their diets. Additionally, there are other people that think the government should not have a say in their diets. Obesity is a growing problem in the United States. Many people die or contract diseases that relate to their diets. Also, many people are unaware of the dangers of unhealthy eating. The government generally provides information that correlates to the daily recommendations for food intake and food choices. Additionally, the government provides information guiding food portion size. The government should aid people with their diets. The government can advertise the correct portion size and effects of healthy and unhealthy food choices.

Obesity is defined as a disorder involving excessive body fat that increases the risk of health problems: diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, etc. Obesity is a nationwide epidemic, especially in today’s younger generation. This is caused by all the processed, fatty, fried junk food that is easily accessible everywhere. For instance, schools are promoting unhealthy eating habits by providing unhealthy lunches and allowing students to buy unhealthy junk food through vending machines and fundraising method. The government must begin financing for healthier food in schools to promote healthier eating habits as well as making unhealthy foods less accessible and healthy foods more accessible.

Kids everywhere are becoming overweight and obese because of the food choices provided to them. If food choices were to become healthier, students would be able to realize right from wrong. Over the

Obesity is a health epidemic spreading quickly across the world. Some people say that the government should help by setting regulations, but some people believe that it’s the consumer's fault. While the government could help people see that fast food companies are putting things in their bodies that cause you to be obese or have other health related issues, the government should not regulate the food we eat because you should be in charge of what you put into your own body.

As many of us are aware, food-induced disorders such as diabetes are outstanding in our society, and many government-authorised advertisements and programmes encourage healthy eating to curb the prevalence of these disorders and to lead our health to the right path. However what many of us are unaware of is that the production of the unhealthy foods that are linked to food-induced disorders is being subsidised by the government. More money is being dumped into the manufacture of junk food, making them more affordable and accessible to consumers than healthy foods. So while the government is attempting to prevent diseases like obesity, it is also financing them. Ironic, isn’t it? In fact, these subsidies are what have shaped the whole agribusiness, and ultimately the food we buy in food chains and supermarkets.

Nutrients are vital substances that enable the proper functioning of the body, its proper growth and development. They are in the food. Appropriate processes, such as digestion, make these ingredients after ingestion of food can be absorbed by the body. The most important nutrients are: sugars (carbohydrates), fats, protein, vitamins, minerals, water.
