Fast food has many negative health effects but consumers share the blame for choosing to eat it regularly. Workers in fast food are under pressure and make mistakes that can contaminate food, yet people continue returning to these restaurants. While fast food is convenient, it is unhealthy and eating home cooked meals would be better for one's health and wallet. Americans in particular spend too much on fast food instead of more nutritious options, showing an unhealthy dependence. Both fast food companies and consumers must take responsibility to address obesity and illness issues.
The document discusses how the rise of obesity in the US is linked to changes in dietary recommendations and food industry practices over several decades. It notes that:
- The 1977 McGovern report originally warned against saturated fat and sugar but was revised under food industry pressure.
- In the 1980s, the food industry marketed "low fat" foods high in added sugar, fueling demand for sweet foods and contributing to weight gain.
- Choice architecture and defaults influence what people choose, benefiting some interests over public health. Nudges like placement can guide choices without restricting them.

Meatless Monday is a campaign that encourages people to not eat meat on Mondays. It was originally started during World War 1 to reduce meat consumption. The campaign believes cutting back on meat has health benefits and positively impacts the environment by reducing the resources needed for meat production. The researchers conducted a focus group with college students to understand their perspectives on Meatless Monday, including why they participate and how it affects their lifestyle. They found a variety of reasons for participation and plan to further analyze the data and present their final results.
The document discusses whether diet sodas are healthy alternatives to sugary sodas. While diet sodas contain artificial sweeteners instead of sugar, some studies have linked frequent diet soda consumption to health risks like metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, and decreased bone mineral density. The largest study to date involving over 450,000 people found that drinking two or more sodas per day, regardless of sugar or artificial sweeteners, was associated with increased risk of early death. However, other studies have found artificial sweeteners may cause less weight gain than sugar. The document concludes that while people have the right to choose what they consume, diet sodas appear to negatively affect health in similar ways to sugary drinks based on recent evidence

Organic vs. Inorganic Foods: Are there health benefits associated with inorga...DianaGiorgio1
Diana Giorgio wrote a paper comparing organic and inorganic foods. Prior to research, she believed organic foods were healthier with no pesticides and health benefits. After research, some of her views changed as evidence for health benefits was lacking. Organic foods are produced without synthetic chemicals while inorganic foods use them. Advocates believe organics are healthier and safer, but studies provide little proof of definitive health impacts. While organics may have some benefits, the high costs and lack of proven health advantages mean purchasing them is not necessarily worthwhile.
This document provides an executive summary and background for a study analyzing total meat expenditures in US households. Key findings include:
- Combined meat expenditures increase with income, though insignificantly, while expenditures on specific meats like beef and pork do not.
- People have preferences for certain meats, indicating some substitution between meat types. African Americans spent the most on total meat.
- Meat consumption decreases with education and is lower in rural vs. urban areas. The study uses data from the 2014 Consumer Expenditure Survey to analyze factors like age, race, region, income, and education that influence meat purchasing.
The Let's Move! initiative was launched in 2010 by First Lady Michelle Obama to address childhood obesity. It has 5 pillars: creating healthy beginnings for children, empowering parents, providing healthy school foods, improving access to affordable healthy foods, and increasing physical activity. The initiative aims to decrease childhood obesity rates from over 30% to just 5% by 2030 by increasing fruit and vegetable consumption and physical activity among children and decreasing sugar intake. Progress is monitored through health surveys and participation rates. Widespread partnerships help sustain the long-term program.
XNB151 Week 3 Influences on food consumptionramseyr
Cuisine is defined by how and why foods are acquired, prepared, and eaten, as well as people's beliefs around these activities. Cuisine is shaped by various influences including geography, climate, economics, politics, religion, and culture. It encompasses basic foods, cooking techniques, flavor principles, and rules of etiquette. Regional cuisines can develop from necessity based on available foods but may lack nutritional adequacy. Cuisine and food choices are also influenced by factors like gender, social situations, celebrations, socioeconomic status, and beliefs.
Parental behavior is a major cause of childhood obesity according to the document. Unhealthy food choices made by parents lead directly to obesity in children, as children do not control their own diets. Genetics also plays a role, as children inherit around 40% of their parents' BMI. To address the problem, the document recommends that parents cook meals at home, control portion sizes, swap unhealthy snacks for fruit, and educate themselves on healthy eating.

5 Reasons Why You Should Start Eating
Plant Based Foods Today
As our society evolves, we are constantly facing the need
to change our behaviors and habits to increase our health
and quality of life. We are now facing climate change, food
insecurity and over 40% of our population is suffering from
chronic disease.
One of the recent ideas put forward to improve our world
and health is the plant-based nutrition. Even though food
regiments are not something our doctor prescribes (yet),
research is showing that food has a lot to contribute to our
health. It is also a less costly option to our society than
prescribe medication.
More than half of US adults are overweight or obese. One third of children are also overweight or obese, which is the first time in history that a generation will have a shorter lifespan than the previous one. Diet and physical inactivity have surpassed tobacco as leading causes of death. The US spends over $1 trillion on healthcare costs due to diet-related diseases like cancer, diabetes and heart disease. Food marketing targets low-income communities with high amounts of fast food advertising. Children see over 7,000 food ads per year, mostly for junk food. The standard American diet focuses on processed foods high in sugar, salt and fat. This workshop aims to inspire people to value their health, serve as role models for children, and

http://www.ancestralhealth.org/post/2013-ancestral-health-symposium-ahs13
Abstract:
The current Ancestral Health movement is often thought to be on the verge of going mainstream. Many within the movement believe this would lead to positive health (and financial) outcomes for both individuals and society as a whole. However, the transition from a small, highly-devoted group of adherents to a mass following will be far more difficult than commonly assumed. In addition, this presentation will gauge the current size of the Ancestral Health movement by examining empirical data. It also identifies the two types of individuals that typically go paleo. The key commonality between both groups is a very high level of motivation, which also suggests limited penetration of the Ancestral Health movement in the future.
The document discusses how the American food system has shifted from local agrarian societies to an industrial model over the past 50 years due to political and economic pressures. This has led to several negative consequences, including Americans no longer being able to feed themselves and being unhealthier. The industrial food system relies on monocropping, heavy machinery, long-distance transportation, extensive processing and packaging, and marketing of unhealthy foods. As a result, chronic diseases related to diet are rising and this generation of children may live shorter lives than their parents.
The document discusses hunger and food insecurity in the United States. It provides definitions of hunger and food insecurity and explores their causes and scope. While the US produces enough food for everyone, millions face hunger due to poverty, lack of access to nutritious foods, and insufficient social programs. The pandemic has greatly increased food insecurity, especially among communities of color. Solutions proposed include raising wages, expanding and increasing SNAP benefits, addressing systemic racism, and taking a holistic approach across policy areas.
Let Food Be Thy Medicine and Medicine Be Thy Food: Improving Health by Fixing...Megan Grocki
This document discusses how modern food production and consumption practices are negatively impacting health. Genetically modified foods, pesticides, antibiotics in livestock, and artificial ingredients have made the food supply less nutritious. As a result, Americans suffer from higher rates of diet-related diseases like diabetes and cancer compared to other wealthy nations. Both individuals and healthcare professionals can help address this issue by making healthier food choices, supporting sustainable agriculture, and integrating nutrition into medical practices to emphasize prevention over sickness management.
1) Food deserts, areas with limited access to affordable and nutritious foods, are prevalent in Mississippi and negatively impact health. The closure of the only grocery store in Utica, MS left residents with long travel distances to purchase food.
2) Obesity rates are high in Mississippi, influenced by food deserts which restrict access to healthy foods and encourage reliance on fast food. Obesity increases risks for diseases and dental problems.
3) Improving access to nutritious foods in food deserts through community programs and funding could help address childhood nutrition, obesity, and related health issues affecting Mississippi residents like those in Utica.
The document discusses the high costs of poor quality food on public health. It notes that while medical care accounts for just 10% of health determinants, socioeconomic and environmental factors like the food system account for 20%. It describes how the current food system promotes obesity, diabetes and other diet-related diseases through an overabundance of cheap, unhealthy options and lack of access to healthy foods in many areas. It calls for systemic changes to make healthy, sustainable diets more available and affordable as a way to improve population health outcomes and reduce healthcare costs over the long run.
Farm animals in the US receive about 80% of all antibiotics used. This is done both to prevent disease in crowded living conditions and promote growth. However, overuse of antibiotics in livestock is contributing to the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. When farm animals are given antibiotics routinely, it can lead to resistant bacteria that spread from animals to humans, making infections harder to treat. While regulations now require veterinary oversight for antibiotic use in livestock, many argue this does not go far enough and antibiotics should be banned from farm animal feed altogether.
A study of over 66,000 women found that those with highly acidic diets from animal products were 56% more likely to develop blood sugar issues over 14 years. A meat-heavy or acidic diet can reduce insulin sensitivity and cause blood sugar levels to rise, as the body needs more insulin to process glucose. Maintaining a diet with more alkaline foods like fruits and vegetables can help balance pH levels and benefit blood sugar control and health overall.
The document discusses veganism in the UK. It states that the number of vegans in the UK has increased 350% over the past 10 years, from 150,000 in 2006 to 542,000 currently. This rapid growth makes veganism one of the UK's fastest growing lifestyle movements. The increase is driven by young people making more ethical and compassionate choices. The CEO of The Vegan Society said it is fantastic that over half a million people in Britain are vegan and choosing not to contribute to animal suffering.
This document discusses the issue of child hunger in America. It provides statistics showing that millions of Americans struggle with hunger, including 1 in 6 children not knowing where their next meal will come from. Experiencing hunger as a child can have lasting health and developmental impacts. The document calls for reforms to programs like SNAP to make it easier for families to access food assistance, and encourages community efforts like food drives to help address the problem.
AHS13 Alyssa Rhoden — Give Them Grains? Analyzing Approaches to World Hunger Ancestral Health Society
Feeding the world is a compelling problem that is expected to worsen. A proposed solution is to increase the number of available calories by diverting more crops from animal feed to direct human consumption. I analyze this approach, taking into account the types of food that can be produced. The results indicate that current crops are rather poor at delivering nutritious food and that repurposing grains is an unlikely solution to world hunger. I will discuss alternative methods by which we can maximize production of nutritious foods and the importance of the ancestral health community’s involvement in the sustainable agriculture movement.
- Recent surveys show an increase in meat-free diets like vegetarianism and veganism in the UK, especially among younger people, driven by health and ethical concerns. However, total meat and fish purchases still increased in 2018 compared to 2017.
- Estimates of vegetarians range from 1.5-3% of the UK population and vegans from 0.5-3%, but definitions and survey methods vary. More consistent is increased interest in reducing meat reported by 12-34% of people surveyed.
- While meat-free diets are growing, the reasons like health and ethics are enduring, so changes may persist long-term rather than being a short-term trend. The food industry

Obesity In Canada Essay
Fast food has become very popular due to modern busy lifestyles that value convenience. However, fast food is highly processed and contains unhealthy levels of fat, sodium, and sugar. Eating fast food regularly can lead to obesity and increased risk of diseases like heart disease and diabetes. While fast food companies market their products aggressively, people should be aware of the health risks of frequent fast food consumption and consider healthier eating options.
Is fast food the new tobacco? This is the question we will try to answer in this essay.
Just like their name suggests, fast foods are foods that are literally prepared and then eaten within a few minutes. The notion of the ready-made food is to have a food that one can serve with ease. This is the main reason why these foods are a popular preference for many people across the world. People do not mind the dietary implications that these foods have on them and this has led to the adoption of a culture of eating on the spot. This cuts the duration that is spent preparing foods.

The document discusses how politics influences American food choices and diet-related health outcomes. It notes that while government agencies regulate food safety, the food industry heavily markets unhealthy but profitable foods. Americans face an overwhelming number of choices in the grocery store and are exposed to ads promoting all foods in moderation. However, certain heavily consumed foods are unhealthy when eaten regularly. The food industry lobbies the government to avoid recommending Americans "eat less" of certain foods for economic reasons. This system makes it challenging for Americans to align their diets with public health guidelines and reduce rates of obesity and diet-related diseases.
The document lists number factors for integers 1 through 60. It provides information on the number of factors, sum of proper factors, whether the number is prime or composite, whether it is even or odd, and whether it is abundant, deficient, or perfect. Key details include:
- Numbers that are prime have exactly two factors (1 and themselves) and are listed as prime.
- Composite numbers have more than two factors and are listed as composite.
- The sum of proper factors excludes the number itself. Perfect numbers' proper factors sum to the number.
- Abundant numbers' proper factors sum to more than the number. Deficient numbers' proper factors sum to less than the number.
This lesson plan teaches 2nd grade students to distinguish between the two sounds of the "ow" vowel team: the /o/ sound and the /ou/ sound. Students will use manipulatives like Cheerios and band-aids to physically label words containing the "ow" vowel team according to the correct sound. They will then create a bar graph to tally the number of words with each sound. The lesson incorporates skills in phonics, group work, labeling, and basic data representation through a bar graph.

Change the Mood About Food
According to the Centers for Disease Control, 34.9% of Americans are obese;
about 78.6 million people. Obesity can lead to heart disease, stroke, diabetes,
breathing problems, sleep apnea, problems in basically every body organ, and
ultimately death. Although there are many contributing factors to this including
genetics and exercise, diet has proven to be on of the most guilty culprits. Diets
higher in over processed, artificially sweetened, preservative injected junk foods are
clearly unhealthier than diets filled with fresh fruits and vegetables that do not have
a million ingredients that sound like nonsense words.
We already know that this is true, yet we continue to eat these bad foods.
Why? Partially because most of us like the taste, but even more so because its easier
and cheaper. The monopoly that the fast food and processed food industries is a
serious problem. For example, at Wal-Mart, the price of a box of Oreos equal to one
pound is $2.98 while the price of one pound of strawberries is $3.22. At the same
Wal-Mart a Hungry Man Salisbury Steak Dinner includes a steak smothered in
mushrooms and gravy, mashed potatoes, green beans, and fried apples cost $2.47.
This contains tasty ingredients like “sodium hydroxide” and “riboflavin.” At the
same Wal-Mart, the price of one single steak from grass fed beef is $5.50. Just the
meat to home-make this dish costs $3.03 more than the entire Hungry-Man meal.
Cheaper food is more convenient; therefore, if “bad” foods cost less, more
people are buying it instead of the more expensive, healthy food. If people buy more
“bad food,” vendors will be more likely to purchase this food because they sell more
2. of it, which makes “bad” food more available (Hoffman). In an article for Harvard
School of Public Health, Marge Dwyer explains, “Unhealthy diets may cost less
because food policies have focused on the production of “inexpensive, high volume”
commodities, which has led to “a complex network of farming, storage,
transportation, processing, manufacturing, and marketing capabilities that favor
sales of highly processed food products for maximal industry profit. (Dwyer).”
However, given this reality, there is a solution. We need to create a similar
trend, but for healthy foods. Regulating prices on unhealthy foods would make
healthy foods more attractive and accessible; therefore, improving public health. In
an article for Forbes Magazine, Beth Hoffman says, “Education regarding the
unhealthfulness of fast food may not influence fast food consumption. Interventions
targeting the issue of convenience and quick or efficient preparation of nutritious
alternatives to fast food could be more promising.” The public has been educated
about the negative side effects of “bad” food. It has is not enough. Further steps, like
raising prices on “bad” food and making healthy food more available and affordable
would be a more successful way to reverse the trend, so that more people will want
pursue healthier choices.
Additionally, making these changes would not only save us who are eating
healthy money now, but also well into our future. Although these “junk” foods are
cheaper at a glance, they have a negative impact on our health. An unhealthy diet
leads to numerous health problems, which can land you in the hospital,
accumulating medical bills that cost far more than a bag of pizza rolls or a fresh
pineapple. Having said that, we can conclude that if we are eating healthier, our
3. bodies will be healthier. If our bodies are healthier, we will be less likely to be
spending time in the hospital. This would lower national health care costs because
there would be less people in the hospital for problems associated with obesity and
an unhealthy diet (Hyman).
The solution I have proposed would make healthy foods more affordable and
discourage consumption of bad food. This action would combat obesity and
improve our national health. A similar plan was implemented regarding tobacco
products. According to Dennis Cauchon’s article in the USA Today, “In 2009, a 22%
increase on tobacco prices led to the number of smokers in the United States to
decrease by 3 million and the teen smoking rate fell 3%.” The increased tax on
tobacco products significantly reduced tobacco consumption. Increasing prices on
unhealthy foods would have the same effect. Yes, people still bought cigarettes after
the price increase on tobacco. Yes, if there was a tax increase on unhealthy foods
people would still buy soda. The increased prices on tobacco did not change why
people liked the product, but made it less attractive because, let’s face it, none of us
like to spend more money than we have to. The public would react similarly if
prices increased for unhealthy foods.
An increase in the price on unhealthy foods, by way of a junk food tax, would
discourage the purchase of unhealthy food and promote the purchase or motivate
people to purchase healthier foods. This would improve each of our lives by making
us healthier, saving us money when we made healthy choices, and would even
improve the health of our nation.
