food stamps and government assistance are helpful and useful. however, peolple do not get what they are deserved. lower income families have to go through a process of waiting just to know if they are eligible. i agree with christopher greenslate he explains how the government does not give people enough. many people who are eligible do not receive them. i feel people should be able to choose with they want to eat. its their lives, you should not try to stop people from eating what they choose to. there should be educational classes about health and what these products can do to the body. everyone has different needs and health issues. soda is a drink , it should able to be purchased with food stamps. for example, the soda ginger ale helps people. so imagine someone with a low income and sick not being able to buy a soda and thats all they need.

"Super Size Me"

"Super Size Me" is a very interesting movie. I learned a lot about how the American diet is changing for the worst. The movie shows the effects that McDonald's can have on your body. In comparison to the book the move shows that the media displays toys and characters  to capture the children. McDonalds spends 1.4 billion a year to persuade people to eat their food.  The book farther explains the concept of child asking grandparents or parents for items. The ways a children get their parents to buy stuff is by nagging. The are many different types of nagging. Pleading nags, persistent nags, forceful nags, demonstrative nags, sugar coating nags, threatening nags, pity nags are the types that kids use. As told, in the book "kids tend to stick to one or two of each that prove most effective for their own parents". Kids play a major role in the fast food industry.
"Super Size Me" introduces to the audience that 60% of the population is suffering from obesity. 1/3 children will be born to develop diabetes in their life time.  Developing diabetes before the age of 15 can. Lead to a person losing 17-27 years in life. This is a serious matter due the fact that the average person eats from a fast food restaurant at least once a week. Some nutritionist say that fast food should be eaten once a month or not eaten at all.

The movie even explains how they people know the food is unhealthy for you but, its all about the money and business. The owners of these companies could care less about your health, they care about what the profit they receive. McDonalds themselves have stated that processed foods are more harmful then unprocessed foods. 

That is scary to know. as a result of watching "Super Size Me" I will follow a better diet. I will eat fast food a lot less then how I have been eating it now. Saying your going to accomplish something is one thing but, actually doing it means so much more. The effect this food has on your body is ridiculous and most of it ends drastically.

response to the movie food inc.

Food inc. Is a very interesting and informing movie. Chickens do not deserve to live this way. Farming is definitely different from how it was orginally started. Animals are treated very harsh.The food that we eat today is very unhealthy. I learned that corn is used to make many things. Corn is a very important ingredient. If a label is checked on any meal most likely some part of it includes corn. Things I would have never even thought about are made with corn. As a person that wants to begin eat healthy, I believe that everything should be organic its a way of life.Although I don't understand why the right up bringing should cost more. If a person can make double the money in less time it doesn't matter what the opinion of the people is. I disagree with the government and how they want people to raise animals. These animals never get to see the light of day. If a cow is sick and manuers all the cattle most walk through it and I feel like it was very unfair and harmful to the animals.  I don’t agree with how the government can penalize farmers for raising animals the “right” and healthy way. I feel that if people are beginning to get sick from these animals there should be a change.
