Opinion about the articles

The articles I've read about the soda being baned from being purchased with foodstamps monEY. I agree with the articles because if the government is providing you with money to eat it should be in your best interest to use that money for healthy foood, not food that will make your family sick or un-healthy. Obesity is a problem in this country especially in this state of New York . . .

300 word response to chapeter 2 of "Fast Food Nation" & the movie "Super Size Me"

In the movie "Super size me" and in the book Fast food nation Mc Donalds is a big topic. In my opinion the message in both is clear fast food isn't good for us. Super size me is about a guy, whos goal is to see the affect that Mc Donals has on our bodies, and if it is really the cause of obesity in this country. In the movie it is shown that eating Mc Donalds isn't healthy at all, it makes you sick if u eat to much of it and it can affect you physically. I think it is a great movie it opens your eyes to how bad Mc Donalds can be for you, it tells you things you might already know but the information they give you all together gets people to thinking on another level.
The Book Fast food Nation ,chapter 2 , speaks about many topics, but one in specific is about children and adverstisment. for example the way Mc Donlads attracts the children to come to their "Restaurant", by puting toys in the happy meals . The toys put in an Mc Donalds happy meal isn't always the same, and they are usually something that will catch your eye and make you want it. The happy meal that are bout mostly for the toys are not all purchased for the kids, there are many grown people who purchase it aswell for their own reason like building a collection. Advertising for kids has become a huge thing. Kids spend most of their time watching Tv, and most of the time on Tv all you see is commecials, Commercials make the kids desire what they offer. Most young people can't afford to go out and buy things, so their parent have to go and buy it for them, and by the parent going the producers gain two or more new costumers instead of just one. I think that there should be a limit to how far advertisements can go to convince the consumers especially young costumers.

thoughts about "Food inc"

Food inc in my opinion is a great movie if you are looking for a source about food how it has changed and how we produce it i was amazed in most of the information they provided in the movie things you would never expect, and even the things you might of herd about they actually show you and when you see it , it just opens your eyes completely for example all the products that contain Corn or it is also amazing how the big companies like mc donals and other corporations try to cover up and don't permit the farmers show the reality within the chicken house what is it that they have to hide it makes us wonder how healthy can it be .
