How much has junk food affected the mental and physical stability of our children?
What are you willing to do to stop this madness among the junk food that we have allowed to infiltrate beyond our sense of quality nutrition? I know because I fell into the trap years ago with my children and myself. I worked two shifts or two jobs to support my four children after divorce and quickie meals and quick snacks between jobs were my destiny of early good health destruction. Now I am concerned about other children as well as my own grandchildren.
Evaluate this statement: In addition to eating foods that are grown on devitalized soils, far too many people are living almost exclusively on junk foods that have little or no nutrition, regardless of the soil. Let this be clearly stated: Junk food causes criminality. A number of people have said this, but few have heard it.
Vast numbers of kids today are not eating good, wholesome foods as nature provided them but are living off of Coke and candy, and other fast foods that have little or no nutrition. These foods are not treats anymore; they constitute entire diets. And these same kids are also spending hours in front of video games, which are causing behavioral problems as well. Junk food junkies and hypnotic video games go hand in hand.
True or falseit is worth the evaluation.
The planning function involves the development of programs, methods, and plans of action. The marketing analysis will involve population and clinical approaches that will increase the percentage of children and adults who will be willingly to engage in healthier behaviors.
Studies have shown exercise to be a strong therapy for maintaining cardiac efficiency. Weight loss is an important part of a healthy heart. Weight loss promotes a healthy diet and lifestyle. It also allows the body to combat lipids and other artery blocking proteins in the body.
There are also some youth that would probably feel that the data is not sufficient enough to get excited over, because the death toll have not climbed to an excitable ratio of deaths for the younger population; but then again, neither was AIDS upon its introduction. The key word is prevention. Prevention includes educating younger population before the symptoms are noted, especially since this junk food habit can develop at a very early age due to the unhealthy behavior habits. Use the opportunity to sell and promote the change to the people.
I would seek to make suggestions to the vendors about replacing sodas and junk food with bottled water, juices and nutritional foods to avoid the loss of profits to the school.
Next, I would make sure that my state or county have laws that prevents junk food from being sold during school hours. I would request a meeting with the school superintendent to start a support group for parents views on junk food in the vending machines.
This quote illustrates how well another school improved. The Coca Cola vendor replaced sodas with bottled water, 100% fruit juice, and nonfat milk. Cafeteria profits went up and up and up. At the end of the school year, Aptos had made a profit of $6,000, one of only three school cafeterias in the district to finish the year in the black (Steinheimer, 2002).
Introduce nutritional video to parents at PTA meetings, and remind them that healthy students will stay in school more and receive better grades. I would also pass out nutritional flyers to students or request that they have a fun day and each parent can contribute a nutritional tasty platter for them to try. I would even just to see if any farmers market would be willing to have a fresh fruit day at the school. This would be advertising for them. I remember reading that someone stated that junk food could be the next tobacco phase.
The researchers all have one issue in common, and that is they are seeking assistance from any reliable sources that will bring some value to the misfortunes that the media has contributed to the continued junk food phase. No matter how much good nutrition is advertised, there is always the triple deck greasy burger and lets not forgets the great chocolate candy bar, and the list goes on& The evaluating team hopes to accomplish all that they can to provide answers or point any involved organization in the right direction.
