What is Worth fighting for ? Obesity

Obesity is one of the main reason people die at young ages and factors to this are .Due to the large portions they serve at fast food restaurants, schools not providing enough education on the matter and that people find fast food restaurants the easiest way to obtain food as they are easy to access and receive. I believe that people should be aware of their dietary and have the education to make the smart decisions on what they consume, that schools should be enforcing the education to support them when they come to eating.



A result of excessive portion eating from fast food, is from Morgan Spurlock, Morgan Spurlock created a documentary on how eating exclusive fast food can affect your personal health and emotions crucially, and that you should monitor your health at all times. When Morgan Spurlock decided that he was going to eat only Mcdonald's for thirty days straight for all courses,He demonstrated the fact that eating excessively caused physical emotions that usually resulted in a negative outcome, such as in the video  (41:22) Morgan stated at one point “he didn’t know why he was feeling sad, he claimed that he was having a great day and nothing had disappointed him”.This is an indicator, since nothing in his day caused this emotional trigger except the excessive fast food eating, could be only factor into which he started to feel depressed. As that section of the video resulted in Morgan’s emotions changing however there were more results of his excessive fast food eating.Another factor to is shown when Morgan is having a conversation with his doctor, about Morgan’s health after a few days of his experiment of eating excessively. The Doctor states in the video (1:08:30) that Morgan’s liver was sick and critically mentioned “ That Morgan was wiping out his liver” and he had only seen this with binge drinking but never excessive fast food consumption. This explains that the amount of food Morgan was eating a day, was completely exterminating his liver, which had a very negative impact on Morgan’s health ability thus increasing the probability of death. As you can see consuming a lot of fast food can lead to obesity and all these other health related problems, because some people aren't being properly educated around the world on how to have a balanced and nutritious diet.

An article from the BBC shows how people are not being properly educated, and the result that can happen if they are not. Also due to the fact of parental obliviousness, and they relying on school to educate them in becoming healthier. In the BBC article it writes to show how teens are constantly, eating junk food, and how schools do not take into account the drastics of teaching them the solid foundations of a proper nutrition. In the article it states the Ms Katys comment about her son “ He would eat too much when he was at school and then come home and eat whatever was around, even cook big meals for himself”. This shows that her son was excessively eating when he was at school, and completely had lack of education on the proper nutritious diet. As that article referred to parents and school the video Super Size me shows indications of this as well. In the Super Size me documentary it shows how kids react when choosing lunchtime meals and how it can affect their education. In the video when Morgan paid a visit (45:20) to the school, he questioned some kids on who these people were on the flash cards, most of the kids could not recognize the famous people of their nation but could recognize their fast food leaders. This shows that how many kids spend their time eating fast foods; don’t realize that their brain can be strained to the obsession of wanting the most possible. This indicates how fast foods can destroy the intelligence of children and force them to be constantly having the obsession, to rapidly eat as many fast foods as possible thus, resulting in them becoming obese.

Some nations are trying to prevent this problem by educating the children, on what a proper nutrition should be. Multiple nations have also introduced the ability to tax more on the larger the portion size concluding to them to have to pay more of an amount to obtain the food in which they so desire. This still hasn’t been brought around the world thus having this an epidemic around the world as continous trend.

I strongly agree that this should be a worldwide concern, as you can see the negative impact it does have on the world. If do consider this a priority around the world it can definitely benefit each every individual out there who is suffering from this trend and keep each and everyone of us living by the ethics to a healthy lifestyle.
