The biggest issue facing our generation is Obesity. Some people might think that it is not a problem because of all the choses in fast food now a days but looks can be deceiving. The might of changed the menu but peoples ways have not changed. If a over weight mom and dad had a son the son would not eat any differently then the mom or dad so the process continues. I would change this issue by advertising a new way to be healthier and almost scare them with the facts of obesity.
The tactics in the past that have been tried are heather items on the menu. Well some people that don’t eat healthier pick the more fattening foods then the heather kinds. If this person did not eat healthy s a kid or threw there life why change now? There also have been a movie (Super size me) on the super sizing of portions to fast foods. This probably changed a lot of peoples opinion about fast food. Other Groups/Foundation that have been done is the CMA Foundation (Obesity Prevention Project)
My solutions of changing this forever is to go and advertise healthier foods and put facts everywhere about it. I will probably need around 100,000 to rent bill boards and start teams of people to spread the word about eating healthier. Then if that does not work I will probably go to television and invite famous actors to list some of the facts about obesity. Also what the benefits of eating healthier like a longer life. If that won’t work then i guess nothing will until they make the decision them selves.
I will know if I succeeds if number one McDonnell’s runs out of business or see less over weight people on the street and more in the gym. The chances of succeeding is like 100 to 7. This is so because people probably are going to saw “Why should I change?” “I have a right to do what i want to my body.” We CAN NOT force them to eat healthier but we CAN persuade them to. I do hope this will be a permanent change but over time it can start all over again.
