Ted talks 👇
I've recently watched a Ted talk video discussing about school lunches and how unhealthy it really is. In Coopers voice presentation she discusses the concern she has for the students and what's given to them on a day to day bases. Study's show that the foods given to kids are just as bad as eating out at a fast food place. She wants to teach kids how to eat healthier and actually make healthy food appetizing . Organically grown and regionally grown foods is what she recommend to many parents to buy, but the problem is organic foods are quite expensive for many family's to afford especially in a large house hold. About 70% of antibiotics are in our meats, and kids today are now consuming roughly five pounds of pesticides a year. Due to food we think are healthy for us is actually harming our body's, causing many kids and adults to be ill. The government doesn't really seem to care about the kids and the foods they allow them to eat, because facts show about $35,000 tax dollars are to maintain a prisoner and only $500 dollars are for the foods given to kid a year. She blames the junk food and fast food advertisement because they manipulate and lure children to want unhealthy meals which leads to an unhealthy diet. 1 out 3 kids will be diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and at that rate kids born in the year 2000 will most likely die sooner than there parents due to what they consume everyday . How could we fix this growing problem?
