Persuasive Essay On How To Eat

As years go by American weight struggle has been getting worse. People with diabetes today has more than double since 1994. While there are ways to help bring down obesity, most companies have not taken action. There are many factors to why obesity has only been increasing all these years.

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.

SUMMARY In the featured article “Life is a Smorgasbord,” the author, Dan Lewis, justifies his opinion on a smorgasbord meal. The setting of the article takes place at a Hometown Buffet in celebration of the main protagonist Aunt Elaine’s fiftieth birthday. While at the birthday celebration the protagonist states that he has filled up his plate three times with all different types of food from all different cultures as well as with four types of dessert. While looking around the restaurant he questions to himself how other people are able to choose just one type of food to eat when there were so many different options.

Americans love to eat anything crazy. If a meal that has triple-wrapped bacon hot-dog fried in panko crumbs stuffed cheese that is filled with diabetes, Americans would devour it. Unhealthy foods have been apart of the American diet as a commonality, more than healthy foods should be. Unhealthy junk foods consist of unnecessary fats, oils, sugars, high-fructose corn syrup, MSG, and many more. Healthy foods have been increasingly disappearing from our restaurants every second. However, young people need a healthy diet to live a long and fulfilling life from self-inflicting diseases. Authors like Jane E. Brody, Mark Bittman, Alice Waters, and Katrina Heron all advocate for healthy foods. Jane E. Brody in “Attacking the Obesity Epidemic by First Figuring Out Its Cause” describes the cause of the obesity epidemic and proposes many solutions against it. Alice Waters and Katrina Heron in “No Lunch Left Behind” discuss the accessible healthy foods students are in dire need of instead of the processed trash. Mark Bittman in “Bad Food? Tax it, and Subsidize Vegetables” elaborates on the many benefits from taxing “bad food” and subsidizing vegetables such as reducing healthcare costs, improving health, and many more. All of these authors fight for a healthy American diet. As a fellow human being, this epidemic must be solved and it starts with youth. Many schools’ lunches and available snacks/foods are more unhealthy than to be nutritional. However, schools do try to combat junk food. Based on school data, surveys, and nationwide statistics, unhealthy foods should be taxed and healthy, natural foods should be subsidized and be more available for schools and eventually all people for a healthier lifestyle.

Obesity is a very serious subject that a lot of people take lightly, especially us as Americans. America is the most obese country in the world. Statistics show that 300,000 people die a day in the United States of America due to obesity. This clearly shows that we have a serious problem that is massively underestimated. Obesity is also something that countries all across the world suffer from. For example, Australia is also one of the most obese countries in the world, and 50,000 people die a year from obesity in Australia. That’s 140 people who die per day in Australia. To solve the problem of obesity the prices of junk food should be raised and the prices of healthy food should be lowered and more convenient.

Using food to trace the rigidly hierarchical world of American teen culture, the scene expects the audience to see sushi as fundamentally alien, exclusive and unappetizing. The Breakfast Club asserts that sushi-eating symbolizes a distasteful elitism that we all recognize, but that we do not ourselves create, maintain or like.

In the following paper, specific examples from the movie Tampopo and Eat Drink Man Woman will be discussed. In the film Tampopo, the concept of food as work is depicted in the story of Tampopo attempting to create the best ramen noodle restaurant and in the story of a group of older businessmen attempting to negotiate a business deal through dining in an upscale French restaurant. Food as both work and pleasure is depicted in the story of the young man accompanying the older businessmen as he orders the fanciest French dishes despite being the lowest level worker in the group. Contrastingly, the concept of food as pleasure is discussed in the story of a group of women learning to eat spaghetti properly, the story of a man suffering from a severe toothache because of excessive enjoyment of food, and the story of the man in white suit who uses food as a method to stimulate sexual pleasure. In the movie Eat Drink Man Woman, food for Old Chu is work since he is a chef for his entire life. Differently, food for the second daughter, Jia-Chien, is pleasure as she revels in the process of cooking. These examples display how food can be regarded as work, pleasure, or both in multiple ways.

In my opinion, food is a crucial entity to pleasure. I do not use food merely to survive, rather as a tool to distract me or comfort me. Given my strong reliance on food, I do eat a considerable amount outside of meals. When we were asked to get rid of something that we constantly depend on, my mind immediately went to food. I could not imagine a day, forget five days, without eating extra food. Therefore, when I was amid the self-deprivation period I felt challenged. During Siddhartha’s time as an ascetic he described his life in a fairly blunt way. “The world was bitter. Life was torture.” (13) I can not say that “life was torture”; however, I can relate on a less intense level. Life was difficult, and it was a challenge to make it through all five days. The perpetual temptation distracted me and made me realize my inability to control

As young children, we begin to form desires. When mother would retrieve the fresh chocolate chip cookies from the oven that glistened from the still melted chocolate chips, and that filled the entire house with their warm, scrumptious smell, we were consumed with a desire to dive right in and engulf the entire batch, but mother would not allow us to eat a single cookie until after diner. As we sat in anticipation, eating our boring, lackluster meal, our minds would dream about taking the first bite of that chocolate chip cookie and feeling the warm chips coat our teeth in their sweet taste. Finally, after mother would declare that our plates were clean enough; all of us children would race to the cookie rack and indulge in the nectarous

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.

When something is detrimental to our health, we strive to avoid it whenever possible to extend our lives. We know that exposure to known cancer causing agents such as asbestos and lead paint is harmful; therefore, we do not expose ourselves to the risk and we certainly do not eat it. This seems simple; however, what do we do when that harmful vice is food? We cannot stop eating; instead, we must closely examine what we are putting into our bodies. When faced with the choice of a burger or grilled vegetables, most would choose the burger. These choices have lead us down a path littered with food related diseases, illnesses and rising healthcare costs. The state of Americans health is declining due to increasing obesity, diabetes and

Everybody sees it everywhere. “Lose 60 pounds in 6 weeks!” “Skinny is what’s in!” “Detox diet plan!” It’s a fair assumption to assume that the world, especially the United States, is obsessed with being healthy. From celebrity workout programs to expensive diet systems that make people lose weight, being fit is always what’s mainly focused on in the media, daily life, and nationwide. But with obsessions, come unhealthy actions and interests. Most people that anyone knows is most likely upset with some aspect of themselves. Whether it be the way they look, how they eat, or their lifestyle, obsession happens because of the nearly-impossible body types and lifestyles found on social media. On top of this, there are also restrictions and challenges that come with eating a healthy diet that seem simply irradical to address, and unhealthier foods are more available than ever. With these slowly arising issues, anyone would think the nation is making it hard for themselves to be healthy. The society the nation lives in is making it progressively harder and harder to be healthy because of the lifestyles that are easier to achieve.
