Obesity
Fast food restaurant are
everywhere know a days. People know a day’s rush so they hardly have time to
make food, or even make lunch. It’s not
like back then when women would stay home and makes food for their families.im
a student in college and sometimes I don’t have time to go home to eat before
work so I go to a fast food place to get food. Or even the nurses at my job,
they are always on the run so they always grab something quick to eat. Even sometimes
my mom is tired from work that she doesn’t want to cook so we order out
sometimes. No matter what it is we are always getting food from fast food places.
So fast food restaurants today’s world seem to be a good thing, but what we
don’t realize is that it’s not good for our bodies and we are just spending
money. Obesity is an increasing problem in our society today.
Every time we buy something from a fast
food place or we buy something for our kids we need to think about what we are
doing for our bodies and what we are setting up for the future. There has been a dramatic
increase of obesity rates. Obesity is the excess of body fat, which you get
from eating fatty foods, which is mostly sold at fast food restaurants. When
someone is obsessed or is overweight there are a lot of health complications
that come along with that. “The
statistics showed that more than 35% of U.S. adults (78 million people) are
obese, defined as having a body mass index of 30% or greater. That is similar
to the 2005-06 rates. Calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in
meters squared, the BMI is not a perfect measure of fatness but is still viewed
as the gold standard in assessing population-wide trends.”
Being overweight you are likely to have heart disease or have a stroke, you are
more likely to have high blood pressure, diabetes, cancer, gallbladder and
gallstones, osteoporosis, gout, and also apnea is common for overweight people
and asthma.
Some
people are naturally overweight. Some people it is genetic thing, but having
fast food restaurants around them doesn’t help. Even for someone who is trying
to lose weight, it is hard because all around you there are fast food places
which has food you enjoy. Of course there are surgery’s that can be done to
lose weight, but it is expensive and not everyone can do it. Also some people
have family to take care of, and have work so they can’t afford to take time
out of work.
I
think that in a community there should be less fast food restaurants. But then
again there are some people who don’t care about their weight. There are a lot of
things that people can do to lose weight for example gyms and zumba classes
around the area and there are other programs. Some people just need someone to
push them and tell that person that they can do it like give those pointers on
how to accomplish their weight loss goals. Also I think that maybe they can
make healthier food restaurants.
A lot of people would benefit from this
because everyone wants to have that perfect bodies, everyone wants to be
healthy and live to see old age. I don’t think people would want to have all
these heart problems at the age of 30, because they made bad decisions on what
they are going to eat. Yeah people try
to lose weight but then they give up because they don’t see results right away,
but they can’t be like that because not everything happens so fast. But I think
if they had a person to motivate them is would be different and they wouldn’t quit.
Post write
I feel very strong about this paper because obesity
