...Based on the suggested reading, researchers are looking for how environment influences children's obesity by showing “food choices” on the way to school and by mapping places people live, work and go. In fact, they found out that most of elementary school students prefer to buy junk food on the way to school, but they don’t eat breakfast at school because they’ve already been full. This article mainly tries to point out that some social issues actually can be caused by the environment, where people live and how their lifestyles are. Thus, the solution of preventing childhood obesity is trying to change the food environment around children, but it is very difficult to implement. Because children can’t distinguish that apple and banana is the...

...In many school systems across the United States, there are many different opinions on whether or not junk food should be banned. Some people favor the thought of junk food in school systems and feel as though kids should be able to eat what they want. Others believe that schools should provide students with healthier snacks and meals to eat. The true question is, how much is too much? There are certain school systems taking over meal plans and completely banning the food selection for kids to only health choices. Kids should be able to make choices for themselves and eat the food they want too eat. Having junk food in school systems has been known to bring up the percent of obesity in kids, but having junk food will give students freedom of choice, will help the vending contract revenue, and it will save money and complications in creating a new lunch program. Schools that allow students to eat what they want give’s the students dining options and also freedom of choice. Many school systems in America are strict enough already; they do not need to be even stricter and be told what to eat and what not to eat. When students can pick out their own food, it gives the student the feeling of personal responsibility. Margaret Johnson, an English and French teacher at West Las Vegas High School in Las Vegas, New Mexico, explains, “ junk food should be sold in schools-along with other food. Students will buy anything that coast under a dollar, is profitable, flavorful,...

For example, in the book it starts with “When the door bell rings at 3 in the morning, its never good news.” on the other hand, in the film, it starts with Alex's school, then his uncle , Ian Rider being chased and it is not that fun if we know how his uncle died. There are other parts that are different too .In the film,Alex goes to the car junk-yard from the funeral chasing the van with his bike but in the novel he goes from the school library to the junk yard and the junk yards name is JB stryker but in the film,the name is Jeff Slater. Some characters are different too. Like Mr. Blunt. In the book it it said he has grey lips, grey eyes grey hair grey suit but he did not wear grey suit, and don't have grey eyes. He does not say the word from the book. I thought he moved like a robot . The film maker put a statue behind him and he did the the same action. I didn't expect him to be like that. If I was you I would read the book because there are more details and it is more like a mystery. He finds out how his uncle died. The film is not that fun. Some parts are very different. I like the book more. I will prefer you to read the book first and watch the...

...Obesity In our world today people have easy access to food, every corner we look we find at least one restaurant or a café and in every corner there is a super market or a gas station that sells some sort of food and snacks. Entering a small market it is easier to spot the unhealthy junk food such as chips and chocolate; they are usually placed in the center of the store, where as the healthy choices are usually set on the sides or in the back. As technology develops the food Inc. is getting larger and larger. Food is getting manufactured easier and artificially, almost everything we eat is processed. Obesity is becoming a huge issue in the US and around the world due to carless eating and processed food which is causing health issues. Obesity has become a major issue in America, overweight and obesity is defined as abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that presents a risk to health.

...Junk Food Affects You: Final Draft Shelbi Oakley DeVry University Online Junk Food Affects You Josh looks around the playground to see all his friends having fun. They’re swinging, playing tag, drawing with chalk on the blacktop, and picking teams for a basketball game. Everyone’s got a smile on their face and they’re full of so much energy. He’d love to be chosen to play on someone’s basketball team, invited to play tag, or having fun doing anything else other than sitting by himself in the grass. Instead, he gets picked on by other kids about being overweight and is always tired after a short time of going up and down the stairs of the jungle gym. Like many kids his age, junk food, candy, sweets, and fast food become a way of life and a quick and easy dinner picked up in the drive thru is much easier than taking time and effort to make a healthy one at home. Josh’s mom gets fast food for dinner 4-5 times a week, which is the average for Americans today (Americans eat out about 5 times a week, 2011). She works a full-time job and has to pick up Josh’s little sister from daycare after getting Josh from school. It’s hard for her to plan and prepare a wholesome dinner after a long day at work. This is not an uncommon scenario for many adults and kids alike in the U.S. and around the world today. Fast food and junk food have become the norm to the everyday diet. There are more and more restaurant chains...

...A Critique of Mark Bittman’s “Is Junk Food Really Cheaper?” “Economically, the lack of grocery stores, local gardens, and healthy food options in general, has revealed a major flaw in the food industry as a system by forcing fast food alternatives and cheaper food production. It has been suggested that those with lower socioeconomic characteristics would be more likely to seek food options such as fast food because of cheaper prices. Data suggests that living in an area with greater levels of disadvantage increases an individual’s odds of more frequent fast food purchasing. ” Because of the economic context like what someone says just now, Mark starts to think about the real price of fast food. When he reads like “when a bag of chips is cheaper than a head of broccoli…” or “it’s more affordable to feed a family of four at McDonald’s than to cook a healthy meal for them at home”, he considers that is not cheap to buy it but you just have little thing to eat. “Hyper processed food remains more expensive than food cooked at home.” Mark still suggests people to cook at home. Then, he also mentions another argument which is “Junk food is cheaper when measured by the calorie, and the poor need cheap calorie”. Mark consists that “if people need to gain weight, a meal cooked at home can easily gain more calories because most of them are ‘healthy’ variety”. Mark thinks that soda can be replaced by water, and health food instead of fast food. Mark persuades people try...
