In today’s economic crisis, there is still one thing that remains the same, that being the fast food corporation. Many of the fast food chains in America are still thriving, however, things are about to change for some. The New York City Board of Health voted unanimously to require that all fast food chains in New York have the calorie count data on their menus. The board argues, “Calorie information provided at the time of food selection would enable New Yorkers to make a more informed, healthier choice.” The reasoning behind this vote is because of the fact that 54% of adults are either overweight or obese, found by a 2005 community health survey.

As this article says fast food places are thriving. Places like these are encouraging an unhealthy lifestyle that many take advantage of. It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3 to get a meal from McDonalds, and therefore we hold our future lifestyle in our hands.
ReplyDeletei do not think that the calorie info in the fast food restaurants will help, i think that people in large cities like new york people need fast lunches and they know they can get in and out of a fast food restaurants like its no big deal.
ReplyDeletethe only people that will use the calorie info are the healthy people, i dont think the all ready obese people will use it
Yea, like Julian said i do not think that the calorie info will help the people that comes in and out of Mac Donald's. Because they already have their mind made up of what they want. But i do think that it will encourage people that is not already obese to eat a healthier diet or either less calories.

ReplyDeleteBy showing the amount of Calories in their food might change the minds of some people, but overall, i believe nobody will pay very much attention to the list of calories in the restaurants food. Everyone who eats fast food already nows how bad it is for them, but they still continue to eat it.
ReplyDeleteAlthough this new system of the calorie count may help those who sparingly come into fast food businesses make a "healthier" choice, the average obese customer will most likely not be affected. If anything, the calorie count might instill a feeling of guilt, but nothing a big mac can't drown out.
ReplyDeleteThis system might help with some people, but obese people know that what they are eating is unhealthy and they still eat it. If they want food, then they will eat it. If they want to stop then they can stop on their own.
