Reflection on Nutrition

I wanted to reflect on the presentation about nutrition that we had earlier this week. the topic was how to better our health nutrition wise. This topic interested me because the United States is on a decline nutrition wise and on a rise on obesity and too much weight gain. We as a people need to eat healthier and less amount of unhealthy food. This topic impacts my life because I want to eat healthier and reduce fat and sugar intake that can lead me down the road to a bad lifestyle. I learned that I need to increase wheat, fruits, and vegetables in my diet. I need to stop eating out in fast food restaurants and try to eat home cooked meals. This topic is important to public health because we as a nation are one of the most obese countries in the world. We also have a lot of health complications due to the food. We have to plan out what to eat and eat often to keep our metabolism up. I do not know why the government does not push harder for the fast food industry to change their food to make it more healthier.
