Persuasive Essay On Fast Food

The only major political move in the United States to end hunger in recent years was made by president Obama, we simply can’t have that. Although we are a constitutional-republic, we cannot rely on one person or a few activist groups to do what we all know needs to be done. Do you think that we will rid this country of hunger if only a few of us try? We won’t. We may achieve some meaningful progress, but we will not completely destroy the simplistic monster that is hunger if we do not try as a people. So do me a favor, do yourself a favor, do your neighbor a favor, do a starving child a favor and join the fight to end hunger in

Currently, 795 million people don't have enough food to balance out the amount of calories that they are burning. In simpler terms, they are starving. We have people wondering which restaurant they are going to go to for dinner , while at the same time others are wondering if they are going to eat at all. A simple solution to this problem would be to just not be greedy and share or donate whatever you can spare to the less fortunate. Even though that would fix our problem, it is not very likely to happen due to the fact that we as people are plagued with

My goal here is to not only help those who are suffering from eating 5 chickens a day, but to also benefit the country. If we, as Americans, spend over 20 billion dollars on weight loss schemes, why are there still so many fat people in this country (“Why Are Americans Obese”)? I, therefore, propose a solution that I am sure will solve this issue; to sew the mouths of these obese individuals for one month. This is an inexpensive fix that will eliminate any and all temptations obese people may have to keep eating. The proposal is as as modest as killing all newborn babies. I have been told by a friend of my mother, Dr. Patty Smith, the most educated and knowledgeable doctor of our society, that such a solution will improve many aspects of our nation. Dr. Smith is an obese woman who is a pediatrician and specializes in childhood obesity. She believes that these weight loss programs are nonsense, that they are only there to make us gain more weight (Smith).

Most kids around the world are diabetic and overweight and something needs to be done about it. I see a lot of kids at my school and in public that are overweight. Many of those kids have a plate full of food. Most kids eat a lot of junk food which is unhealthy for them. Paragraph 1, 2, and 3 talk about overweight kids and how they can live healthier lives.

As the United States has grown in power and diversity and equality and economic influence, we have also grown in weight. More than ⅓ of American citizens today are considered obese, and rather than the previous belief that this was a negative statistic, today I personally am thankful for the large percentage of Americans who have clogged their arteries with cholesterol laden Big Macs. . . because I have an idea, a solution to the burden of the obese. The people in America who are deemed obese should be herded into farms and used as food for starving citizens in other countries. There is no better way to solve a number of problems in America, while also solving undeveloped countries starvation troubles. This is much more palatable than the suggestion

We could help feed the homeless with the leftovers. As well as, donate it to food banks or families that need it. This would help cut down on the amount of children that go without a meal everyday. With this proposal we could essentially fight two problems at the same time. Obesity and world hunger. Not only would we be helping the obese but we would also be helping the people in poverty. Those who can’t afford to feed their families or themselves. Countries that are poverty stricken could receive food from other countries that have extra that is not being eaten. By regulating how much food every person gets by body weight we can better distribute the food where it is

Speeches, articles, newscasts, billboards, and t.v. shows all tell us to "Feed our growing population!" Which, this statement is very true, there are starving people all over America, and the rest of the world, butch at we put in our bodies is what matters most. When there is a greater demand on food, there is mass production of unhealthy and non nutritional foods, made with added chemicals, sugars, artificial flavors, and fructose. We live in a day where flavored food rules over nourishing foods.

There are just over 500 million obese adults worldwide. Obesity alone in the United States raises health care costs for all Americans more than $210 billion annually. I suggest that once a person gains enough weight to become obese then he or she is provided with a nutrition and exercise plan. They are given ninety days to lose sufficient weight to fall below the obesity level. If they fail to lose enough weight to drop back into the overweight category, then we would have no other choice but to slaughter them. Within the first five years of enacting this program, it would save Americans more than $16 billion annually. Not only would this help to lower health care costs, but it would reduce unemployment and increase job productivity at the same time. Obese people miss more work hours than other workers due to their chronic health problems. By removing them from the workplace, healthy out of work people could be hired thereby increasing productivity. This proposal will force people to either lose weight or be killed. Killing obese people will not only help the fix the afore mentioned problems, but by using the obese bodies to feed the starving, it would end child

“As we write, 1.02 billion people are suffering chronic hunger, one in six persons. For the first time in history, we have crossed the 1 billion mark…“ John Butterly, and Jack Shepherd, two renowned professors at Dartmouth University, detailed in their book ‘Hunger: The Biology and Politics of Starvation.’ How is it that in our country more people are dying from health issues associated with overeating, then from starvation? When worldwide there are mass populations dying without enough to eat? There must be a way to harness our earthly resources to feed our growing world.

The typical American spends $1,200 on fast food. That is broken down into $100 a month or roughly $12.50 on each meal. More and more fast food chains are beginning to grow due to the amount of money people are spending at them. The idea of one meal at Mcdonalds costing less than a head of lettuce is outrageous.

One of the biggest problems in America today is the amount of people who are living obese. There is much controversy that is surrounding this topic because it is one’s health that is at stake. Scientist’s and medical professionals suggest that obese people have a higher risk of developing coronary heart disease and other conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, stroke, sleep apnea, and the list just keeps going on. Some of the reasons that more and more people are becoming overweight in today’s society is for starts, the prices of unhealthy foods at supermarkets and fast food restaurants. The healthier food options are much more expensive than the unhealthy options. If someone wanted to go to a McDonalds to buy a cheeseburger for

In 2014, a foundation called Feeding America did a survey on the people they serve and found that in order to stretch their food budgets 79% of them purchase inexpensive and unhealthy food in order to stay fed. This can seriously impact their health, because no matter the age, healthy bodies and minds require nutritious meals. In some cases, food insecurity can even lead to Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease and obesity. These are just a few examples of why food insecurity is so harmful. Fortunately, there are many organizations, clubs, and foundations that are committed to ending hunger in America, and eventually the world. The first step to solving this problem is spreading information, and realizing just how dangerous food insecurity is, and who it affects. After learning these things, you may want to help and there are many ways to do that. I’m sure in the past, you've donated food to the annual canned food drive our school puts on, and that’s just one way you can contribute to solving this problem. There are many organizations that ask for donations and will put your money to great use, for example every dollar you donate to Feeding America will provide 11 meals for a child in need.If you don’t have food or money to donate, you can donate

Elizabeth Olsen says “I get way too much happiness from good food.” This is not something just anyone can feel. Going home to a meal on the table is a privilege in this economy. In just WNC, Western North Carolina, there are kids and entire families that are not getting ends meat. This is a big problem that we as a community need to fix, “The number of undernourished human beings on the planet increased from 777 million in 2015 to 815 million in 2016” (New York Times). Nevertheless, there are already movements being created. One of these movements is MANNA FoodBank, whose mission is to help and provide a meal. And others like Roadrunner, who “gives backpacks of food to about 1,500 kids” are also trying to stop hunger (Hunger 35).

There is a kind of power in being informed that is often taken for granted and few people can recognize when their lack of knowledge is detrimental to them. There are many things hidden far beyond the naked eye of the public; one being the evil and greed swarming the food industry and big food corporations. While many Americans are gaining an excessive amount of weight, the government and the doctors in the U.S are gaining an excessive amount of weight towards their personal wallets, by staying out or not doing much in this epidemic because of the destructive power the big food industry and chemical company lobbyists have. Big food industries and chemical company lobbyists control what the FDA approves, believes is safe for human consumption, and the overall food policy. The ethics in the food industry have crumbled as money and power have taken over and while all this is taking place, uninformed people are encouraging their likely heath issues and deaths to this market by giving their money to their murderers. More than two-thirds of U.S citizens are overweight or obese while 32% of children will fall under the same category, and 43% of Americans are expected to be obese in 10 years. So who is going to tell us the truth when it comes to what we are eating and what is really in our food? How dare these corporations allow money to weigh more than the lives of people by feeding them poison to bigger their pockets.

Currently the fast food industry dominates America’s cuisine. Drive down any major highway in the U.S. and you will be able to count 20 major fast food businesses within 5 minutes. They have overtaken the consumer’s mindset and tailored a menu that is too affordable to neglect, causing obesity rates to increase at a dangerous pace. Currently half of U.S. adults are informally considered obese, and a quarter are clinically obese. Child obesity has doubled since 1980 (Moss). Undoubtedly, the prevalence of fast foods as the most convenient option for dinner has caused the spike. Other factors have enabled the sick industry to spread it’s diabetic germs across the
