Answer 1

There is a growing amount of focus on “obesity” in American culture. Phrases such as “the war on “obesity”” are commonly used by media outlets (DePhillis, 2013). In 2013 “obesity” was officially categorized as a disease, and in 2012, the New York City board of health passed a ban on sugary drinks in containers over 16 ounces in an effort to help thwart the ““obesity” epidemic,” (Pollack, 2013 and Lerner, 2012). People often have an idea that there are foods that are good and foods that are bad. This is evident in the way we talk about food. Chips are labeled as “junk food,” fast food as “unhealthy,” and other foods are simply labeled as “bad for you.” On the other side, there are several foods which are labeled with positive words and phrases such as “healthy,” “good,” and “pure.”

Please note, the terms “obese” and “obesity” have been criticized as weight stigmatizing and imprecise. Although we use the terms to quote others’ work, “obese” and “obesity” are terms that Center For Discovery rejects.

What is the Difference Between Good Food and Bad Food?

Nothing. Foods should not be thought of as good/bad. Every food, no matter its categorization, provides nutrition and sustenance to the body. Therefore, there are no “bad” foods. Some people may say that certain foods are not nutritious. However, if you were to look at the nutrition facts, the amount of protein, sugar, carbohydrate, fiber, etc. would not read zero. The food still provides these nutrients. Our bodies need protein, fiber, sugar and even fat to survive. Some foods, it is true contain higher levels of protein or fat than do other foods. However, people should be eating a variety of foods to get all of the nutrients and vitamins that they need. We aren’t meant to eat the same foods for every meal. When food intake is varied, and foods are eaten in moderation, eating a food high in sugar or fat will not negatively affect our health. Too much of anything, including the good foods, and including water can be harmful to our bodies (Ballatyne, 2007). All foods should be eaten in moderation. All food is fuel is for our bodies. There are is no good food/bad food distinction. All good is good, because all food nourishes our bodies. This is a foreign message for most people. The message that foods are good or bad is constantly being given through books, fitness trainers, television shows, celebrity diets, the internet, and law makers. The problem is that this message leads to restriction and food restriction is often a sign of disordered eating.

Many of the clients I work with view food as either good or bad, and the foods in the “bad” category are often a source of anxiety for them. Those foods are avoided to the point that if there was nothing else to eat, they would rather go hungry. Their body, then, does not get any fuel at all. The message that foods are good or bad is not helpful. Likewise, the message that banning certain foods will make people healthier is both untrue and unhelpful. Health is about more than just what you do and do not eat. This message may be making us less healthy by limiting the variety of foods we eat and contributing to disordered eating

Answer 2

In order to combat America's growing obesity epidemic, we must educate students about healthy food and unhealthy food, because if students get more knowledge about the food they eat, they can avoid getting Obese by eating junk food and do not do exercises.

In the past years, Americans did not care about unhealthy food; they just ate anything they wanted, a couple of years after many people including children got overweight because they ate mostly unhealthy food and the government taxed healthy food. That’s why many people spend more money and junk food instead of healthy food. For example, if you go to A fast-food restaurant, you can spend $10 dollars and get 8 cheeseburgers, otherwise if you want to eat healthy food you have to spend $30 dollars or more. That is why people prefer unhealthy food. In the article “Attacking Obesity Epidemic”, Jane E. Brody asserts that if we keep eating unhealthy food many people will die from heart attacks, diabetes, or other diseases. For Americans, this means a lot for them because if they do not care about their health they can die.

The consequences of obesity are manifold. In many articles and surveys tell us that many people like to eat unhealthy food, for example, fast food restaurants, coca-cola, etc. Also, the schools give a lot of junk food, and that’s why many children and teenagers are gaining weight, and the obesity epidemic is growing instead to stop it. For example, we did a survey at San Marcos High School that ask the students what do they eat every day, the most common answer was junk food.

We can help them by giving them healthy food, take the children's out to do exercise like for 30 minutes or more. For adult people just have to eat healthy food because in that way their children see that healthy food is good for them. Also, the government should tax unhealthy food because healthy food is too expensive and people prefer to eat junk food. Schools have to give healthy food too and teach them about the benefits of healthy food and what are the effects of junk food. In that way, kids and teenagers will eat healthily and we can combat the obesity epidemic and have a healthy country.

This proposal is to take place in the obesity epidemic and make a healthy country if people do not agree with, can be because they do not care about their body, I just can I say that if they want a healthy life and see healthy their children's is to do exercise every day and eat healthy to have good health. Also make sure to buy healthy food besides junk food, although healthy food is more expensive you should buy it.

The conclusions are that unhealthy food is really dangerous and many people died by eating it, also to prevent kids from obesity is that schools should give healthy food, make them run, and educate about what food is healthy and what food is not, and give them examples of how unhealthy food is dangerous.
