Have your views about fast food and the negative effects it plays with heart disease and early death changed based on the video and weekly readings? Please explain your answer.
What are some ways in which you feel you may limit the amount of fast food?
What responsibility do you feel the CEOs should have (if any) in terms of its customers' well being?
Next, search the web (google, yahoo, any reliable search engine) for your favorite fast food establishment and then search within your local city. When you type in the info how many of those fast food establishments appear? When you get that total, take the city closest to yours and do the same thing. In your post please include these numbers and analyze what you think this information tells you about your local community and their commitment to health and wellness.
I feel like nothing will effect my views on fast food because I will not think of those views if I were to purchase fast food. Since I don't really connect what I learn with my current feeling for that day, these videos will not pop up in my head when I am in a restaurant. My current views on fast food makes me not want to eat fast food for the next year, but I don’t really eat fast food currently, maybe for the past 4 months. This video wasn’t the reason why, it was just because of my appetite.
Some ways I feel like I may limit the amount of fast food is to cook more and maybe food prep for two days. I can cook different types of food, but I just get really lazy. Another way I could limit fast food is to go to a different place, rather than a fast food chain. Just because a fast food chain is much more cheaper, it doesn’t mean it’s better for me. The cheaper the food, the worse it is, in my opinion. I could go to a grocery store and buy groceries, rather than eating fast food.
I feel like the CEOs don’t really care about the customers’ well being. These CEOs just care about how much money they are making and how many sales are coming in. These CEOs should find a better way to incorporate healthy and fresh foods, rather than frozen and fried foods. CEOs need to be held responsible for the amount of negative effects it plays with heart disease and early deaths.
There are 4 Chick-Fil-A near me in Los Angeles, 1 in Pasadena, and 1 in Monterey Park. I think that Chick-Fil-A isn’t on every corner of Los Angeles and are in some locations. They are spread out about 10-15 miles, which is better than every corner of some cities.
1 steak of salmon, a cup of vegetables, side of fruits, and drinking water. There are places that have this option if requested.
REFLECTION: For this discussion, we had to watch a couple of videos about fast food and how it is made. Then we had to answer some questions about how we feel about fast food, how to limit fast food, and the responsibility of CEOs. After this discussion post, I was never really against fast food because I grew up eating it. I did not eat it everyday because I knew there was a limit of how much unhealthy food that could go into my body. This discussion really brought to question how CEOs don’t really care about the health of individuals eating their food, but only the income they make by selling these foods. The more foods they could make for cheap, the more foods they could sell, and the more money they could make. This discussion was quite easy to do because anyone could spark a conversation talking about how fast food is bad for the body. The faster the food could be made, then the worse it is for the body. Unhealthy foods like junk food should be limited to once a week or maybe even once every two weeks.
