Blog 16 " Happy Meals "

In a reading called " Happy Meals" extracted from " In Defense of Food" by Michael Pollan gives us
information to eat healthy and stay away from the non-essesntial foods. I can say that not only my family
but other families living in this country and with the economy the way it is, only some of us can afford to
eat healthy and the rest to continue with the cheap and non beneficial ways of eating.

For my family its not an issue to eat healthy, but it seems that everyone is always  in a hurry.My mother
works and hardly has time to cook when she comes home. So with that I can tell you that most of the
time we order or eat out. The foods that we eat is hurting us in many ways because it does not supply
the daily nutrusions we need. Example, my uncle spends alot of time eating out at lunch time. one day he
caught a hart attack and the doctors told him his hart arteries were damageg and needed relacement
because he over the years polluted them with greasy food's.

When it comes to eating healthy, its a price you are going to have to pay.Because foods that are good for you are expensive and not every one can afford to do this.( I dis-agree) and its ( not due able) for some families. The economy will not let them,which means more McDonald's, Fried-Foods and in expensive
non-nutrition foods. This is why alot of young adults become obese and eventually suffer from some type
of  disease like, Diabete or high colesterol and some eventually suffer hart attacks.

Some peole can afford the healthy life style of eating, which means eating nutritional foods and alot of
vegetables.People that eat healthy have a greater chance of living longer and for them ( Its due-able)
to eat healthy foods.Example, I can see a sports person like Michale jordan eating at his table lots
of fruit, vegetables,turkey and fine foods,Aslo exersizing and keeping  his body in shape.When it comes
to financing this is not a problem for him because when money is not an issue its not a problem to eat healthy.

In conlusion a I agree and dis-agree that some people can eat healthy and some cannot. Aslo when shopping
for food's we should be more alert of what to buy because in the long run it can hurt us or give us a longer and healthier way of thinking.
