Try Dieting
For my research question it's actually somewhat bewildering because it is relating to how a family's income effects their malnutrition. If you notice when you go into a market place majority of the shopping carts of others is full of junk food that is piled on top of the small portion of healthy foods. It's ironic how we eat so much junk food because we are hungry and it seems to be more fulfilling to us, but yet we complain when we gain weight because of it. If you notice when a family has a small amount of money to spend on groceries they would rather spend every dime on a variety of different unhealthy snack for less money as opposed to buying a few fruits or vegetables at higher prices.
However as I was reading more into my research I learned that majority of people without realizing it pick up bad eating habits that lead to obesity and other health problems. I feel bad because the people who do having eating disorders because their bodies are programmed to constantly eat and never get full. If we don’t watch how much we eat and the amount of portions we eat you can be putting yourself at risk, be cautious.

I see what you're pointing out. In the movie Food Inc. they showed a family that instead of buying healthier options at the grocery store so they could cook at home, would buy fast food to get cheap food that does its purpose, makes the hunger stop. I also see how this is greatly affecting their health because of the factor of obesity and other health problems.
ReplyDeleteit's very true how much the common family does choose junk food over healthy food like you said due to the little money they may have but you also need to consider that although the junk food is very unhealthy it is made in large proportions and is very cheap but healthy foods on the other hand seem to be more expensive, see our society has become accustomed to eating unhealthy foods and strayed away from the healthy foods
