Start changes to benefit everyone

As I stated before my question is How does the environment we live in affect what we eat, the availability of food, and what we can afford? After researching more about this topic I have came to more questions. What I hope to get out of this project is a way to change our environment so that everyone can be healthier. To see what is influencing our decisions and to see how we can change it. If there are too many billboards advertising fast food take some down and add billboards encouraging healthy foods. Start more healthy food chains. If where you live doesn't get the best arrangement of fruits and vegetables at your market , stand up and ask. Figure out ways to bring healthy food into your community. Hopefully writing this paper encourages new ideas to be formed so that our bad habits and attitudes will change. Maybe the start of more farmer markets in more areas, more farms, and more gardens will be grown. Influencing good habits into children's brains when they are young so that they can teach others and grow up with healthy eating habits not always eating fast food. Not only what we eat should change , but our activity everyday, walking to more places, taking hikes, going to the park to play with your kids, involving more exercise so that our bodies are in good shape. Another factor, money, it's the biggest contributor to our lives and affects everything we do even what we eat. Those that don't make a lot of money are able to buy fast food but not vegetables to make a balanced meal, something is wrong with this. A change should be made to allow all incomes not matter what to have healthy options. How else are we going to make a difference if we don't even give people the chance to afford and get resources needed.
