FAST FOOD 3.4

 
   According with article Happer's Magazine the reason why many of these companies likes to target a poor inner city communities is because many of this consumers are not aware of the risk by eating this type of fast food could bring .for example many studies have show that these companies like McDonald's, Burger King, Krispy Kreme have streaming grown because they main focus is to increase development in areas like where lower income families live. I totally disagree with these companies main concern to over feed our inner city communities like the one I saw on television.

     About two months ago, I saw a program base on how much fast food had poisoned our children. They pick a particular are in the Bronx where many of these fast food are located in each corner in other areas are next to each other for me that was quite disturbing now I can understand the reason why this companies choose that specific part in the Bronx' and that is why has been re name is over weigh community. The blame for all that over weigh population is to the amount of food that people consume is just because they made it so convenient For instance the author Greg Crister states that when the lower income get off work they into high gear about five P. M  to get a quick bite to eat. These meals are ship in convenient to the workers. The workers might get unhealthy because they eat this all the time. This should be a concern for all us and we should try to help to educate these communities especially with them the school system so our new generation learned how to made better choices.

   One of the thing that our mayor Michael Bloomberg has done is to put pressure on all these fast food industry where they need to place the calories count on each of items on the menu, so when people desire to eat in one of these places they can see how many calories that item contains. For me that can be a good thing because if we can pay attention to the amount of calories that one of these meals represents people wouldn't be so over weigh. If we can add to that people don’t exercise or do activities what is going to happen to our future generation. That is a question that we all should have in mind.

     Fast food is going to stay we us for the remainder of our lives so it it time to educate our new  generation that way children begin learning what is the best way to eat. The best way to educate our children is through the school system because children eat breakfast and lunch at the school. In fact, children would learn how to eat if the school provide them we a good healthy breakfast and a nutrition lunch. Also another way to teach our children is with the teachers they would have a better change introducing them the value of fruits and vegetable and the danger of eating fast food.


    In conclusion these companies don’t care how much damage has done in the long run. They over feeding by super size the meals and the main target is our lower income communities. We need to be more aware what we eating and help educate our communities.
