An article published by The New York Times informs its readers that the options we make daily about our food choices affects, not just our own health and bodies, but much more than that. The author explains that some options we choose, have terrible effects on the earth we live on and can be undermining to our communities. They also explain that the main we reason we have been so pulled in by these foods is because of the constant advertising they make and how they never seem to be promoting healthy foods. This article, personally, has made me think about both my previous and present choices in food and I am interested to discover what are good things to choose to consume as opposed to picking things that, in their making, cause negative effects. This source really makes you think whether it is worth buying into all the unhealthy, unnatural food that the majority of this country eats on a daily basis and I think it is such a good thing when an piece of text really think about its topic. Another great thing an article can do, if it is discussing an issue, something that hurts the environment for example, is making the reader want to come up with solutions. After reading about how my decisions can affect the environment, I want to find possible ways to improve this situation and have even started deciding to make healthier and safer choices. It's truly disturbing to realize that the media just barely advertises and promotes a healthier lifestyle and diet because eating organic foods and healthier can truly be beneficial to the consumer, the planet, the weather.
I totally agree with you, I feel as if the media does not give companies that promotes healthy foods enough recognition. Nevertheless, the companies that supplies junk food outbids advertisements from these companies that are trying to help the world.
