9A+Jess+Szilagyi

Hello, I'm Jessica Szilagyi and I've completed my internship at //Healthy Living// and was hired to work fulltime for their Food Education Department. I watched the film "Supersize Me' and reacted by comparing food products sold at the fast food restaurant "Wendy's". I explained what food items are a good choice to eat and what items are a poor choice to eat. I have analyzed my data and put it together to show you on here. I have concluded that most things you eat at fast food restaurants aren't very healthy for you and is not a healthy lifestyle.

=__**﻿Analysis:**__= ===My healthy meal and poor meal had many caloric, fat grams, sodium, and saturated fat differences. My healthy meal had 1,320 calories and my poor meal had 2,460 calories. This makes them have a 1,140 caloric difference. The amount of fat grams in my healthy meal was 124 grams and the amount of fat grams in my poor meal was 151 which makes them have a 27g. difference. My healthy meal had 1,275g of sodium and my poor choice had 4,320g of sodium. Their difference was 3,405g. My healthy meal had 14 grams of sugar and my poor choice had 54. They have a 40g difference.=== ===﻿Let's say fast food didn't exist. Health of people and food choices of people would be affected greatly. If there was no fat food, people in America would probably be a lot healthier. Many diseases and obesity really wouldn't affect as many people.=== ===﻿After gathering data from the fast food restaurant, "Wendy's", I realiza few things about fast food. I became aware of how much calories, fat, sugar and sodium are in a fast food meal. I also realized how fast food can probably affect my health considering all of these high amounts of unhealthy ingredients.===

=**__Conclusion:__**= ===When Mr. Spurlock goes to different McDonald’s throughout the film, he asks the employees for nutritional information on the food products sold there. Mr. Spurlock finds that it is very difficult for him to find the nutritional information in many of the restaurants. They are either too hard to understand or they do not provide any nutritional information at all. This is because many McDonald’s do not want to reveal to the public how unhealthy these meals are. === === Mr. Spurlock went through many physical, emotional and social problems while eating McDonald’s for thirty days straight. Mr. Spurlock explained that he always felt depressed when he ate the food and he felt physically tired all the time. He also had problems socializing with his girlfriend. === === In the documentary, fast food restaraunts lure children to eat their products. McDonald's lures their children by giving out toyrs in happy meals and using characters or mascots for their restaurant. I do agree that McDonald's does indeed cater to the kids. I say this because they offer so much for children. === === The film compared fast food to the tabacco industry. Someone asked if fat was the next tabacco. I agree that the fast food companies are like the tabacco industry because both industries use advertisements to try to sell their products. They use catchy slogans, posters, commercials and other ways to try to sell their products. The tabacco and fast food industry are al so alike because they can both be extremley addicting. ===
