One current popular culture topic is food. Many different food issues are very popular in today’s American culture, and the culture of many other countries. It is not just what kinds of food we eat, how much of it people eat, or the lack of food there is for some people, but food in general.
The issues surrounding food is as deep as its roots go. From how the food is grown, killed, or protected for consumption to the words that companies place on their packaging to sell their products. The American trend of fast food restaurants is spreading throughout the world, and people truly desire healthier food products not the high fat, greasy, salty, quick alternative. Quick is a desire, but in healthier options says the article that can be found at http://www.faqs.org/nutrition/Ome-Pop/Popular-Culture-Food-and.html (Rodriguez, 2010) .
This article discusses the obesity issue, and how so many Americans are fighting the weight battle, and the rise in obeis children has rised so high througout America. There is also the dieting battle that many try to conteract the weight problems they may have. Yet these diets can cause issues a great deal of the time instead of actually helping. People purchuse food products that they think may be healthier for them because they claim in writing on the package that they are low in fat, no suger added, lower your cholesterol, and numerouse other tactics (Rodriguez, 2010) .
Unfortunitly it has been proven that these words on the packaging of food means nothing. If people want to become healthier there is no other way to do it then to eat fresh, unprocessed food. Follow the food pyramid, get ragular excersize, and enough sleep. This article goes on to discuse television food, eating disorders, ethnic foods, supplements, and more. I highly recommend exploring all of the current topics listed in this article.
