How to have healthier children.



In the 1970 here in USA, MacDonald had a 4% of the market of potatoes, now we are talking about the 80% of the market. That means they are the most popular corporation of fast food that serve potatoes.

Now in our society, specially in New York, most of the parents take their children to eat fast food, because of time matters, insufficiency of money or they laziness for cooking healthy food. Those reasons make me think in possible ways of how to help our children to live longer and healthier.

We have to show the parents some sources of how fast food is being delivered to us:

1- We have to show parents that the food we eat specially fast food is not always they way it looks. Talking about meat a few months ago a very good trailer called Food Inc. produced by Eric Scholosser and pretty much covered a lot about how meat is being processed before we eat it in fast food restaurants. Some animal are killed the worst way possible, being cut off for people that only knows how to cut animals NOT MEAT.

It will help us to keep our children healthier and less obese, meaning that they will live a longer and healthier live.

2- We have to conduct the parents to teach their children how to eat more times and less quantities, meaning that children will eat small portions of food but more time in a day, helping them to boost their metabolisms to get a better digestion and more energy as well.

Also, Some fast food restaurants need to think they can also make money helping people how to live better and healthier serving fresh and healthier food.

To conclude, we just want everybody to help themselves and others as well, to eat healthier, because nowadays everything is coming more and more artificial and that is a cause of most of the health problems our society is facing.

  2. Strange, isn't it? The way our livestock and vegetables are suppose to be growing naturally now we have to pay extra money for so called "Organic food." Yes, I think your point is right. We should educate our kids and families how to eat in a more healthy way. It is not impossible. Tobacco has been raising price and has been greatly changed on all of tobacco companies. We can do that too!
