Banning Soda Purchases w/Food Stamps

Reading the articles about banning soda and other sugar drinks for recipients that are able to use the food stamps by government  made me think that it is very unfair for those poor people .I think that this people should have the same rights to buy the food as regular customers and and we should not control that....

SUPER SIZE ME

Watching the movie “Super Size Me” about Morgan Spurlock and his one month experimental diet on fast food in McDonald’s, made me think how harmful this food can be for our population. This documentary has many strong evidences why this food is bad for us like for example trans-fat or empty calories that are always included with this food.  According to this movie there is only one answer why so many people in America is overweight. We can only blame for that fast food industries. According to the documentary, 60% of American adults are either overweight or obese. Many of us eat all kind of fast food every day. We usually choose cheap and tasty foods like McDonalds for so many reasons. For example we are tired after the long day of work or we do not have a time to cook. Many families spend their free time during the weekend with their kids there because fast foods exist almost everywhere even in the hospitals. Moreover, these restaurants sell not only the food but also provide t-shirts, favorite movie characters and also places where kids can play and watch the movies. I believe that this movie that was seen by so many Americans and many different nations made them realized that eating these kinds of cheap and fat meals during short time like one month can be dangerous even for young people. Morgan Spurlock risking his health is trying to show us that buying “supersize meals” in McDonald’s we are not gaining anything instead of serious health issues. The actor felt sick after the third day of eating only in McDonalds, few days later he was less energetic and depressed. At the end of the month he gained twenty five pounds and put his health in a risk of early diabetes and heart problems. According also Eric Schlosser in his book “Fast Food Nation” we should blame not only McDonald for the health issues but all fast food that are responsible for adults and kids obesity.  I believe that this documentary did a great job showing people that instead of telling them about the statistics they can see a real person that is suffering from eating McDonald’s every day. Is it really worth to risk our life eating this fast food? This question we should all answer after watching this movie.

Peer Review

Peer Review

1 .The introduction in this essay is clear. It is describing important details about the problem (the difference about the food today and a hundred years ago) .The first sentence is attention-getting.

2. The thesis statement-“I believe that the food a hundred years ago was much healthier than the food that we can buy in a grocery store or in a restaurant currently. Probably, my great grandparents did not know much about the vitamins and nutrients contained in the food they were eating every day but their diet was healthier because they did not use any dangerous pesticides to grow their food or antibiotics to feed their animals”.

3. This paper needs more details and explanations about the chemicals that some food contains like for example oatmeal. This essay should have more sources about antibiotics that many farmers are using to grow their animals and how dangerous they are for our population. Moreover, that paper has to state clearly “why they did not use any chemicals or pesticides in 1911”maybe they did not exist at that time.

4. This essay has some grammar mistakes.

5. The author did not identify all her sources in this essay. A lot of chemicals it is appearing in this paper but not enough explanations where they are coming from. This essay needs also references at the end of the essay.

6. This essay is clear. The ideas are interesting.
