Why do people choose to eat products that are unhealthy for them? I think it is so easy to choose something that is unhealthy for them when it is easily accessible. When I visit the grocery store the store always place the organic food next to the non organic foods and the non organic foods are always cheaper. For a person who is not financially able, buying organic isn’t feasible. Also ignorance accounts for a lot of the reason why people don’t eat healthier. Unhealthy foods are also just more appealing, labels like low-fat, fat free, make the “FAKE” food seem more healthy then it is actually is.
What roles/responsibilities does the government have in farming your choices? I don’t think it’s the government responsibility to manage farming per say, but if it get to the point where our health is suffering then our peoples health is at risk then the government should step in. education is the biggest thing. If our populous was educated about their options then they would make better decisions.
