Persuasive Essay On Food Inc

People in Houston were told to evacuate their homes and to leave everything behind, due to the hurricane, but they couldn’t leave everything so they compromised and only brought with them the things that were an absolute necessity. Not a lot of people are able to compromise so easily. For some people this is a hard subject to grasp. Food is a major thing to in society today that not many people can agree on. Food is such a huge part of our everyday lives, but when two people are asked what they want to eat it seems that no one can come to an agreement. Food, however, is, “something beautiful to be shared with people” (M.F.K. Fisher), not something to cause problems and arguments when a decision about the food can’t be made. More often than not it’s really hard to compromise, but when it’s for the greater good and taking in account people other than yourself, there’s a certain satisfaction earned. In order to be considered a “well-rounded person” in society, it is inevitable that one has the ability to compromise. I had to experience compromise first hand in the humid, swampy, hot, seafood loving, Louisiana. “Four regions of south Louisiana were settled by the Cajuns.” (Ducote). So it’s probably pretty safe to say that Louisiana houses some pretty good, traditional Cajun food. This experience has helped me to realize my place in our culture when in comes to being a cordial, agreeable person.

The basic survival needs of human beings include a small list of four things: food, water, clothing, and shelter. After watching an interview with Robert Kenner, the director of Food, Inc., I began to realize that the food humans are eating is actually decreasing are survivability. Within the excerpts from the movie and the dialogue amongst the interviewers, it was made apparent that the food industry has been able to completely deceive the consumers. Instead of choosing food for quality, individuals choose food by lowest price. As Kenner said in the video, “we have skewed our food system to the bad calories” (2:38). Instead of healthy home cooked meals, families are purchasing fast food for its convenience and low cost. However, the video made a very interesting stance in regards to this mentality. Although individuals are paying the lowest price for food in history, the cost of treating diseases caused by unhealthy eating has grown to be higher than ever before (8:04).

Whole Foods, as stated in their values concerning the food that they sell, say that they are committed to provide clean, fresh, quality organic food for a low price. This however can be fought as falsely advertised due to the fact that there are products on their shelves that contain GMOs. Any food that is truly organic will have the words Organic or GMO Free.

In 2008 Robert Kenner directed a film called Food, Inc. The film consisted of nine chapters focusing on certain issues. Chapter four of the film was called The Dollar Menu. In this chapter the main question is; should access to healthy food be a right for everyone? Most fast food restaurants have a dollar menu which means getting food fast at a cheap price. In addition they explained in this chapter that a poor family cannot afford to go to a supermarket and buy healthy food items.

All foods made with genetically modified ingredients made in restaurants should be properly labeled and advertised as such. Not labelling genetically modified meals ordered at restaurants could cause customers to break organic diets and may cause an uproar in the community resulting in a loss of customers. Restaurants such as Chipotle clearly advertise their foods as non-gmo on their websites and restaurants to let consumers know that their food truly is not made up of genetically modified material. Other restaurants should follow in their footsteps and clearly advertise whether their foods contain genetically modified organisms or not.

Yes, you are right, and I agree with you and Professor Schwalbe. In addition to this, some groceries do not take care of washing fruits and veggies, although most of groceries are good at it. So, people may wash them thoroughly with vinegar, and moreover, making them wait in mixture of vinegar and warm water for 3 min would be a remedy for this reason.

Healthy food should be accessible to everyone. If healthy food isn’t available for everyone all it’s going to do is cause more and more health problems. If we made healthy organic food the same price as cheap unhealthy food there would be a big difference in the health of our country. It’s completely unfair to make healthy food too expensive for other people to buy, which causes them to buy cheap unhealthy food, like off a dollar menu at a fast food restaurant. This issue needs to be put to an end.

Do you ever take your lunch anywhere? Have any of your food products ever been wasted, destroyed, or damaged in any way due to the unstable or heavier items in your meal? Secondly, let’s say when you go into a restaurant, would you want your entree to come out squashed or crushed? Food protection is an enormous problem. Food is one of the key ingredients needed for life, so why do people not protect it like they protect themselves or how they protect others? Food protection is the action of not allowing any items in the meal to be harmed or for the consumer to be harmed from eating the meal. Food protection is not a legal law in the United States, yet if the government teaches the importance of food protection and why it is needed, children in the United States would have much better health habits, such simple habits such as washing their hands before eating or washing off their produce before people eat it can help. Simple habits like that could change all of America, so why does the government not teach children about food protection? Let me talk to you about food protection.

I think that their should be more food choices for WFMS. More choices of all food groups. There will be more healthy eating in the school. Also there will be less hunger. Students will study better.

Food: You buy and eat it everyday. However do you ever stop and think about what's in the food you're eating? The average american spends anywhere from 6,604 dollars in a year all the way up to 8,886 dollars on food. That’s a lot of money. If consumers are paying that much money, they should know whats in it. It is an ongoing issue that most people are not informed about what they are eating. Everyone should have the right to know what is in their food.

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.

In November, Abby Philyaw started getting sick after eating school food. Until February, she suffered from Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome and stomach aches. Her doctor thinks the school lunch was the cause. After examination, scientists and health inspectors say school food isn’t as healthy as what the education system wants you to think. Science shows that burgers contain ingredients that make you fat, not to mention the other health risks it possesses. Multiple studies have shown that multivitamins can do more harm than good if taken daily by healthy individuals. After examining how burgers contain more than just fat, to why multivitamins might not be good for you, to what really is in school food, scientists fear we are dooming the bodies of the future generation day by day.

As time has passed, Americans have become downright lazy and inconsiderate when it comes to preparing their meals. They substitute fresh, nutritional, balanced meals for a big mac on their way to work. Since Americans have become so lazy, the emphasis is on quick service rather than the quality of the food. “Open 24/7!” “It takes two hands to hold a whopper!” “There’s fast food, then there’s KFC!” “Your way, right away!” As Americans continue to fill their bodies with fatty, processed, fake food, people around the world starve, and their access to clean drinking water is limited. So how is America to help?

As kids, we loved to go out and have a dinner from a fast food restraint. We would love to go to Mc Donald's or some other fast food restaurant. Being youthful, we did not comprehend what we were eating. We did not see every one of the things they put into our food. As we got more established, we began to comprehend what is in those meals. We began to see that individuals that eat a great deal of fast food tend to have childhood obesity. Taking a gander at some fast food restaurants children's menu, there are not a considerable measure of solid decisions on there. Fast food restaurants should make kids meals out of fruits and vegetables and take the burgers and fries out of on their menu for children, so children can avoid having to deal with childhood obesity. In this essay, I will touch on why the healthy options is a must.

In the past 100 years of society, our increasingly busy lives have led to less time available to cook meals at home with healthy ingredients. Fast food restaurants intend to capitalize on this rising crisis, but, in order for fast food companies like McDonald’s, Wendy’s, etc. to make their food so quickly, they offer simple meal choices with cheap ingredients, making the food high in fat and sugar. The most prominent of these meals is the cheeseburger, consisting of bread, a meat patty, cheese, and varying other things like pickles or onions. Things like the meat and cheese come from cows, and this creates problems, such as methane emissions. Since so many people are buying fast food, fast food companies raise more cattle to satisfy the demand, but these cows need food to eat as well. Those crops, grown specifically to be fed to cattle, take up the majority of agricultural space in the United States, and could be replaced with better, healthier options. If people were to stop eating fast food, it would benefit them, as well as benefit the planet.
