I can't remember the last time I ate fast food. As a rule I generally try to avoid it and try to make my kids avoid it as well. In the book, "Chew on This" Eric Schlosser really makes his opinions on the subject known. He is strongly against too much fast food (if any at all). He recently spoke to ABC News and echoed his thoughts from the book, "The best seller, just out in paperback, contends that fast food has changed the way Americans eat, and is partly to blame for obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and deaths from E-coli bacteria. Its author proposes that people essentially boycott fast food until restaurants start preparing healthier food.
"People should know what they're eating, and how it's made; they should spend their money at places that make food well," Schlosser told Good Morning America. "Nobody is forcing people to eat this stuff, and fast food places will change when customers demand changes."
I agree with Mr. Schlosser and feel that we as Americans should have more of an interest in what we eat. It is very easy to eat a piece of fruit or add some vegetables to meals. Look for foods in the grocery store that aren't processed or bad for you and most importantly, cut out fast food.
i don't agree only becuase i love how it taste
ReplyDeleteSame
DeleteIm not against fast food because honestly I would eat it anytime I get the chance but I know it isn't good for me, I still like it.
ReplyDeleteI think fast food is bad for you because if you eat fast food regularly, the effects on your health can be disastrous.
ReplyDeletei think fast food is bad but it someone chose to eat fast food
ReplyDeleteI agree that fast food is unhealthy. I am not really the person who eats fast food but I know it bad for your body,and it can causes health problem. Don't get me wrong if you like fast food but do you ever wonder what in your food and how it's bad for your body.
ReplyDeleteFast food is so good I would eat it everyday. Even though know it wouldn't be health. But I also agree with Mr. Schlosser and it's peoples choice when to eat it.
ReplyDeletefast food looks so bad because of all the things they put in it "Mechanically-separated meat" is a mixture created when the bones and carcass of a leftover chicken are mixed together in a food processor.
ReplyDeleteI disagree because if i know whats inside the food we eat i wouldn't eat it at all. so i rather not know what's inside my food.
ReplyDeleteFast food can be a bad choice, it causes health problems and makes Americans waste a lot of their money on it. For a person to buy the food they should know what's going to be put in their body.
ReplyDeleteI think that fast foods are just as bad as any other fruit snack and people should care more about what they eat, no one ever takes factors in.
ReplyDeleteI agree that fast food has changed recently over the years, and people could be choosing much healthier food styles.
ReplyDeleteI agree that people shouldn't eat fast food because it's unhealthy and because when you really go to eat a burger it doesn't look the same as it does on it's ad.
ReplyDeletePeople definitely should be concerned because if we keep consuming foods that are made with chemicals and fake products , our health will get worse by the years.
ReplyDeleteI think that people can eat fast food but not a lot of it because then thats when problems like obesity happen
ReplyDeletei think people should be concerned about what they eat because you never know when you could be eating something and your allergic to an ingredient thats inside of it.
ReplyDeletei feel like people should know what there eating and if its healthy or not. Everyone should be educated on whats the difference between eating healthy or non-healthy food.
ReplyDeleteI agree, people should be on a look out on what they eat. Fast food restaurants should list all the ingredients of what they are actually selling. We all should start eating healthier.
ReplyDeletefast food is nothing but juicy greasy flavored fat calories. We should eat healthier more often instead of grease. Yeah! You can have some fast food now and then but not all the time fast food is to go not to build up calories and extra weight. If your in a rush start making time for healthy things in stead of fat. or slow boil your food over night or stop at a restaurant, they actually take time to cook
ReplyDeleteOur modern society should be considered on the food that we eat today. Fast food has a big impact on obesity, heart problems, and etc. I agree that the fast food industry is causing many problems, but we are 25% of problem. For example, parents are always on rush, so when they don't have time to cook they always stop at Wendy's, Burger King, and lets not forget McDonald's. As you can see fast food resturants aren't the only thing that should have healthy mind.
ReplyDeleteI agree in saying that us as Americans should think more about what we eat. Its there choice.
ReplyDeleteI think people should think more carefully about what they eat.
ReplyDeleteMy opinion we should start making good choices about what whe should eat
ReplyDeleteI agree that Americans should know what they eat. If we start teaching younger students then they will grow up to be healthy
ReplyDeleteWhen someone is ready to eat fast food, they should stop and think...'is this healthy? What would it do to me?' And most of all 'what does it contain?!' I agree that every American should know the implications of eating fast food, and what is inside it.
ReplyDeleteI think that if I have been eating fast food since day one and my doctor still says that I'm perfectly heathy I don't need to stop eating it.
