In my english class we have been learning about food. Where our food comes from, advertising about food, how people need to buy local instead of fast food, and how we need to focus on producing more food rather than importing perfect types of food. In the next few paragraphs I will talk about all these subjects and what we can do to fix them.

One thing i think we should do is make people aware about what is in our food and make people aware at a younger age. If people are exposed to the products people put into food when we are younger we have much more time to change our eating habits and make the younger generation much healthier. Foods such as fast food, almost anything in a box (chips, cookies, etc.), carbs, and much more. We need to let people know how bad these foods are for you, and things to eat in place of these foods. Foods such as Vegetables, fruits, meats, etc.

Another thing we need to establish is the fast food restaurants. Fast food is terrible for you, and there need to be more regulations on this. Maybe if they put the ammount of calories you consume with your order on the receipt it will scare the people eating their food into either not eating as much of it or not eating at all. With the technology we have today I am sure that will not be impossible. Anything that makes people more aware of the affects todays food has on our bodies is a good thing.

I also think that foods they sell at schools are horrible for you. They offer healthy items but what kid is going to choose the salad over some pizza. You rarely see kids getting the more healthy option and instead getting pizza, burgers, fries, cookies, fattening foods loaded with carbs. If we ban foods like that and make it mostly healthy items i think that would help a lot.

Overall I think our society needs to change our eating habits as soon as possible before it gets too out of hand.
