5. Fast foods- The Real Truth

What are you really eating when you eat fast food??-Website

I'm sure all of us has had fast food at least once in our life. But did you ever realize what you are actually eating whenever you eat fast foods?? I never researched the ingredients in the foods either so you are not alone, but after I read this article, it truly shocked me. After seeing the harmful chemicals that I am eating when I eat fast food, it creeps me out how gross it is. I could not believe that I was putting things like that into my body. The fact that millions of people everyday order fast food from McDonalds, Wendy's Burger King, KFC, and Taco Bell and little do they know that food like this could harm your body tremendously. The one that shocked me the most was the McDonalds chicken mcnuggets because I eat those a lot when I go out for fast food sometimes. It is mechanically separated meat where bones and carcass of a leftover chicken are mixed together in a food processor. This is the stuff that chicken is made of before it goes into your mouth. It is gross. These shocking truths about everyday fast foods make me realize how disgusting it really is to digest stuff like this when people eat it everyday. It is amazing how people don't really care about what really goes into your mouth when you eat fast food. They only care about how good it tastes or how cheap it is and it is a shame.

4. Obesity impacting lives

Obesity has a major influence in peoples' lives negatively. Obesity could be caused from past experiences, losses in the family, or laziness. The past 2 weeks, I watched a recent show called "My 600 pound Life". This show had a big impact on me because it gave me an outlook to someone's life who really did not take care of themselves. On this show, it shows the viewers someone who is 600+ pounds and the whole show is the person trying to get their life back to normal weight. It is not usually a positive outcome, however, because people just give up in the beginning. It shows their rough journey through the process of loosing 200+ weight or less. They try and eat healthy foods, and exercise everyday. In most cases, they would have to get the fat surgically removed since it is so much excess weight. This show displays to me that if you really let yourself go by eating too much junk, it would just lead you to negative impacts and possibly even death. On most episodes of the show, it is from past experiences, or the people around them impacting them. The people around them could not be supportive in some cases. On one episode I watched, the husband was not supportive of the wife loosing any weight at all because he only liked fat women. The woman had no moral support even from her own husband, but luckily she managed to loose a lot of her weight with the support of her friends. From watching this show, it has taught me that if you push yourself to achieve your goals, then you will be successful.

3. Obesity in Kids-Video

This video shows how obesity has affected kids in the US. So many kids are obese in America and they need to learn that eating healthy can change their life for the better. Many kids are obese from poverty issues as said in the video. They just eat fastfood for example just for convenience issues and low prices. Parents can deserve blame for this because they buy the food for the kids and they may not enforce eating healthy foods. They may have bad personal experiences bothering them that makes them want to give unhealthy foods to their kids. Starting to eat healthy could be very challenging at first but once you get the hang of it, it will seem like junkfood is gross.
