Attack of the killer tomatoes and other grocery store products
Its scary to think that our government is dishing out so much money for bad food. The abundance of money going into the food industry to keep costs low is in turn making the quality of the food low as well. Thinking back on my high school lunches, i didn't believe they were that bad. As I take the time to think about what i was actually eating it became odd to me. How can a school serve the exact same lunch meat and call it something else just because the sauce is different. All my meals were processed left overs. i was smaller back than and now i feel a whole lot healthier at this point in time. The bad school lunches which lacked any vital nutirents and vitamins only barely sustained me while fooling my mind to think that i was full. American is doomed to be the most unhealthy country in the world due to poor nutrition in school lunches. Once a person gets out of school, they are bombarded with cheap fast foods that are practically poison to humans. The fast food giants use as little money to produce a heart attack in wrapper just to feed there own hungry pockets. A double cheese burger might as well be as considered as lethal as a cigarette. How is someone on a tight budget with a family to feed living in a country on the brink of economic turmoil suppose to choose healthy foods when a greesy burger is only a 1.99? America is in a destructive cycle that revolves around money. This cycle will slowly lower the population of the country due to deaths caused by medical problems. Healthy foods are expensive, cheap foods are unhealth and America will continue to take the cheap way out leading to health problems which in turn feed our medical economy. the moment people figure out that they are unhealthy they buy the expensive foods, buy expensive exercise equipment or sign up for costly gym memberships. The diet industry will boom and so will expensive TV ordered workout plans that falsely guarantee you a healthy body. People will dump all there money to attain that ideal body and to become healthy and when there money runs out they return to the cheap greesy burgers. America is eating itself to its own economic grave.
