Revision

  It is a parent responsibilities to control what they're eating. Obesity is a big thing for children and not enough active activities for these kids. Parents need to teach their kids from whats right to eat and whats not.
   Food companies know there best targets to advertise to is mostly young  kids and teens. Food companies do all types of advertisement for these kids to keep them as a trusted clients .Younger kids would find ways just to get what they want from their guardians. they would make a scene if they dont get what they want. these kids would nag about food that isnt even healthy for you. In an article i read " Fast Food Companies Still target kids with Marketing for Unhealthy Products" by Megan Orcian. Orcian talks about why food companies advertise unhealthy for kids. Since food companies has been advertising unhealthy fast food and alot of parents started complaining about it. Kids started to become obese for there hieght and age. In, 2009 fast food resturants agreed to include healthy foods in advertising, targeting at children in order to combat the obesity epidemic in the U.S.
 Before Mcdonalds and Burger king started selling healthy food there were kids already obese and there guardian obviously didnt care. Their burgers would be so greasy as well as their fries and than to top it of their sodas with all the sugar in the drinks would be ridiculious.  Children between the ages of 3&7 couldnt determine whether the sliced apples were fries or not. 81 percent recalled seeing french fries in the burger king ads, although neither ad featured fries.

Entry #6


pastedGraphic.pdfThe one brand item that you will see constantly in my purse is always a pack of gum, Orbit gum to be exact. That brand of gum is an addiction and the best thing about it is all the flavors last long. Everyone that always sees me chewing gum always knows that I have gum and would ask for one. Strawberry remix, spearmint and winter mint are my favorite flavor that I would buy. I buy Orbit gum for three reasons. The first reason is after i finish eating a meal having a stick of orbit saves you especially if you had some garlic or onions in your meal. Also having gum is good if your in class. The action of chewing gum will help your metabolism. Chewing Orbit gum, the mint flavors is also good while your working out, extra motion of the jaw helps to create a rhythm that drives your motivation and enhances your workout session. It's a way to keep from snacking throughout the day, and becomes a simple habit.   

 Another food brand i like is baby food pouches. Even though they are made for babies/toddlers I still buy them for myself. It is the perfect on-the-go snack and is a on-the-go nourishment.  When I want a quick healthy snack Its perfect quick meal. These pouches are filled with fruits and vegetables. which makes you energetic, vitamin-fueled, and moving frantically from one thing to the next. The food pouches are good for me because I don’t eat enough fruits and vegetables in the day. Their are a lot of vegetable that I don't like but when they are mixed with fruits that I like I would buy it and the best part about it is you don't even taste the vegetables its like the fruit overpowers the taste of vegetable.
