Corporations and Obesity in America
Exploring the Role of Big Business in the Obesity Epidemic
Introduction
It's no secret that America faces a significant obesity problem. But why have we, seemingly like everyone else, ended up in this situation? Pointing fingers solely at overeating oversimplifies the issue. The true causes of obesity involve a mix of genetics, environment, and psychology. However, there's a major player we need to scrutinize more closely: corporate America.
The Influence of Big Business
Before fast food giants launch new products, they conduct market research to pinpoint what the public desires. For instance, they might ask, “Would you buy more cinnamon buns if they were completely dipped in icing?” If consumers respond positively, the corporation produces and tests this new product. Once it gains enough popularity, it's introduced to the market.
While consumers might genuinely enjoy the taste, it's crucial to question whether such consumption habits are beneficial in the long run. If asked if I'd like a fully iced cinnamon bun delivered every morning, the logical and health-conscious response would be, “No, thank you!”
The Endless Cycle of New Offerings
Fast food corporations continuously bombard us with new offerings. Chains like Wendy’s, McDonald’s, and KFC regularly introduce special menu items. If these items sell well, they become permanent fixtures. But where does this leave personal choice and healthy eating? It's vital to prioritize our health over corporate marketing, which would push any product they believe will sell?"lard burgers included. Instead of falling into their trap, it’s time to make informed and healthy choices.
The All-Too-Familiar Branding
Consider this: which logo do you recognize more easily, McDonald's or the USDA’s food pyramid? This tells us a lot about the pervasive influence of fast food corporations over our dietary habits.
Conclusion
While the USDA has updated its food pyramid (viewable online), the challenge remains to stay informed and make conscious dietary decisions. By choosing health over convenience, we can resist the marketing strategies of big corporations and improve our overall well-being.
For more information, check the updated food pyramid at the USDA's official site.
