Should the Government Regulate What We Eat? Government regulations are not perfect and may have its ups and downs but should we allow them control what we eat? Some feel that this type of authority is a necessary evil, intrusive and there are a few that feel we need even more regulation. One of our forefathers, Thomas Paine said it best, “Government at its best is a necessary evil, and at its worst, an intolerant one.” This statement holds true to this day and age. Considering the rise in heart related diseases, diabetes and a whole slew of other illnesses in younger people which by the way is increasing the cost of healthcare, I can see where the government would consider trying to control a person’s right in order to promote a healthier nation.

Even in some other countries. The childhood obesity rate has climbed in other cities such as St. Louis, Great Britain, Washington D.C, and Philadelphia. But the main question this paper will answer is, “What causes the childhood obesity rate to rise in these different cities and how can we prevent them?” As we know the main causes to obesity is lack of exercise or poor eating habits, but in these different cities those aren’t the only reasons that childhood
He used such an passionate tone with his speech. His tone was of concern and worries that if the world didn’t change their thought process of eating healthy that obesity would get worse and worse.

I write this essay because I CARE ABOUT OUR HEALTH. One reason our planet should convince fat people to exercise because if there were a ton of fat people eating ALL of OUR FOOD then it would be a global CRISIS. People would starve and wars would begin in the fight for food (or survival). Well anyways, fat people are proven to eat more food because their heavy weight causes them to use for energy while moving so to make up for that lost energy, food is needed. We are not like plants that make their own food, we are omnivores who hunt and scavenge for any type of non-rotten food that is cooked.
Why BAD tastes so GOOD? People love junk food, it is indeed a guilty pleasure but there are reasons why people consume a lot of junk food.

There is no way to escape the never ending advertisements from fast food restaurants.
