Super size me by Patricia Castro

The fact that the number of obese is increasing, while the occurrence of age is decreasing, has become a public health problem, since obesity brings numerous health problems that may lead even to the death of the individual. This represents one of the major causes of death. Thus the type of power and lifestyle that provide these obesity has been the target of many warnings.

  The video will deal with foods that contribute, and for that obesity frame, the fast-food food seen as the main villains of healthy living to be extremely calorie and very high sugar content.

 So the video speculated a possible responsibility of fast food companies (emphasizing Mc Donald’s) in the rampant increase in the number of obese and also by the fact that obesity occurs increasingly early, since their advertising material and their establishments are present in local diverse and affordable.

The video shows numerically how great investment in advertising, these companies do. This being one of the arguments to hold these companies for this alarming increase of obesity in age groups ever lower, this massive investment in advertising that enchants and involves people of all ages, leading to consumption of these products, which almost never feature affordable way to be taken home the instructions on the caloric values ​​in food are available for the fact that they are sold without information accessible to their caloric values. ​​Other argument would these companies have stores or counters in places considered inadequate as schools, where the presence of these printed would deforming the eating habits of children and adolescents.

I know that advertisements are extremely enticing, but I believe we are all to blame for this current reality, since all the time for many reasons, we make choices for these fast food rather than something healthy.

Of course, sometimes we do not have the awareness of real gravity that those choices may pose to our health. So we choose those foods with a view only in its practicality as a way to address a need for fast and undeniably appetizing way.

Thus we deforming our food and our children habit, since their choices are made mostly from something that was previously offered. I personally believe that the food habit is formed within the family.

However also find extremely inconsistent offer these types of food (fast food) in establishments in its essence are trainers, since these foods are notoriously what can be said of taste deformers, toxic as the video at times called them.

May seem a little more radical if we have a look minimally biological realize that nutrition is the basis of everything in one’s life, influencing even in their learning and behavior as well as the video says.
