    Are artificial sweeteners truly better for you or are they actually worse then just drinking sugar. Many believe using artificial sweeteners to sweeten drinks and food can be a great way to help reduce calories and maintain a healthy lifestyle. While others believe it is far worse for you then just having sugar or high fructose corn syrup.

    People are outraged at how employers are now not hiring qualified candidates because of there personal habits which contain any form of tobacco. Not only are employers not allowing it on there property but requiring employees to pass urine tests in order to prove they are living a more healthy lifestyle which includes being a non-smoker. Where will the line be drawn and how far will employers be able to tip toe towards the infringing on the Americans Civil rights.

    Employers may not come out and say there not hiring you because you are fat however that may be the real reason you don't get the job. Employers do have some potentially legitimate concerns like health, sick days and healthcare costs however some are just based on looks. Sometimes people have to prove the do not meet a stereotype of a lazy fat person and show that they are the candidate for the job.

    This article is about how many people are now vegan or vegetarian. It has become very prevalent in the US. Some do it for health reasons while others are vegan because they do not believe in the harming of animals in any way.
  • bri2233341 on 03 Sep 17
     
    I've noticed over the last few years veganism has become increasingly popular. Many of my friends and family members have either tried veganism, wanted to try veganism, or succeeded in becoming vegans! Some have done it to lead a healthier lifestyle, but most of them started after learning about the treatment of the animals raised to be eaten and milked. I've considered vegetarianism in the past but have yet to maintain the willpower necessary to stop eating meat.

    I do support what they are doing but some people would have a hard time converting because all of the stuff they eat is meat. I know that they have synthetic meat but I don't know if they would think its the same. there are some stuff I refuse to eat for this reason which is turkey. It may make Thanksgiving difficult for those people but they can still be thankful for their family and friends.

    obesity is a social issue because it is closely linked with discrimination. A person is easily viewed differently not only by their looks but most commonly, their weight. They are seen as lazy, slow, and ugly just because they are a different size.

    One third of children in the U. S. is overweight or obese, and this number is continuing to rise. Children have fewer weight-related health and medical problems than adults. However, overweight children are at high risk of becoming overweight adolescents and adults, placing them at risk of developing chronic diseases such as heart disease and diabetes later in life.

    Obesity in children in our country happens to have the highest percentage in comparison with other countries. I think we, as parents and we, as responsible adults can change this. We should have in schools mandatory pysical education classes, at least once a week. and it would still make a difference. Also, the school snacks or lunches, the menu needs adjustment and changed to a more nutritional one, not one that is high in calories. Now, I know that kids love fast food, but if that can be limited I think would change something. Sometimes us, the parents we are making this mistake, being in a hurry out of convenience, we buy some fast food and dinner ready. Of course, the child loves it and everyone is happy, but if we do this over and over, the result is child obesity and health issues related to that. The change needs to start with us, as adults in the choices we make.

    Diet and activity is so important especially when it comes to children. Adults are supposed to engage children in daily activities and teach them while they are young to have a clean eating diet. The U.S. definitely has the highest rates when it comes to obesity. With all the fast and processed foods around it just makes it convenient for us all to buy.

    Parents who let their children become obese are abusive. Also these so called "healthy" menus at schools are often nothing more than calorie restrictions. For example, my former high school Ironwood often only served a slice of pizza and that is it and charged $2.75. Students would instead by 2 slices of pizza from vendors for a dollar each. Also many students just skip lunch all together and snack after they get home from school. Another problem is the budget. Cafeteria workers make very little money and have a small amount of money to spend,. As a result cafeterias serve junk food because it is cheaper. Also many parents use the busy excuse to be neglectful of their children's health.

    To say that parents who let their children become obese are abusive have never struggled with weight. But that too is a generalization. There are so many children that are on fighting diseases and are given medication that has side effects of weight gain.One of these drugs is steroids. My daughter is fighting several different battles she was born with. She is on steroids, by the doctor, to fight one of the diseases. She is also a love vegetables and fruits. She swims every week. She takes tap, ballet, jazz and gymnastics. She is overweight, but very fit. Some diseases are ruthless. To say that being overweight is because you eat pizza and that you are unhealthy is just wrong. There are many ways that you can be unhealthy. Looks can be deceiving. Don't judge that book until you read it

    High blood pressure at such a young age is horrible. The parents are not the only ones at fault but our society is at fault for allowing to go as far as it has gone. As "aus2127741", states about the school systems lack of nutritional value is absolutely correct, it being disgusting.

    Obesity in children is often sad to see but it is becoming very prevalent in American society. In my opinion, a mixture of an extremely sedentary lifestyle as well as poor nutritional choices at school and at home contribute largely to this issue. Because children now have a multitude of indoor activities that don't necessarily get them on their feet and a lack of overall knowledge on what is a decent, balanced diet I'm not really surprised to see this issue skyrocketing.

    Obesity is still rising especially because of the pandemic that we are going through which made families quarantine for a long time. It is very sad that the obesity rates only have increased.

    A child's weight is their own weight meaning only they can be the ones to properly exercise to have the correct weight. The only way to prevent childhood obesity is based off of the responsibility of the child. The prevention is known to be a struggle especially because exposure to unhealthy foods are everywhere.
  • smurphy6600 on 07 Sep 21
     
    The article indicates that the issue with our society and how it relates to childhood obesity is in how we treat the issue, as a separate entity from all other health issues wherein the child and family receive support and resources on how to help prevent and treat their ailment. In America a child faced with Obesity is treated with distain despite the fact that the food and lifestyle pushed at them in every facet of their life is unhealthy and ultimately results in obesity and the article clearly aims to show the reader that the way in which we shift blame should reflect back at societies stigmatization rather than blame the child. How did you conclude that the child is solely responsible for their own obesity from reading the article?
