Too Many People These Days Eat Only Junk.
Why can't people realize that eating healthy food has so many good benefits. Not only will your health be better, but people would be more in shape and not have to exercise as much to keep themselves at a good weight. I see people at the grocery store and it makes me sick. Junk food and more jink food. What is wrong with people that they can't open their eyes and see that it would be very simple to be healthy?

That's because you can't walk down a high street without going past a million different fast food chains or franchises. I think that, even though it can be expensive, it's the availability of it which makes it so successful. In my opinion it doesn't taste very nice so there we go.

Yes i agree, too many people buy too many unhealthy foods, whats the difference between a turkey sandwich with a side of strawberries then a fried bologna sandwich with chips? Its probably because most of the unhealthy foods, fried chicken, chocolate chip cookies, lots of them are comfort foods

I agree but to an extent.

Junk food is excessively consumed because it is cheap and mass produced. If you open your eyes, many people can not afford the healthy food as it comes with a price.

My Dad thinks Starbuck's is junk food. It was my 'treat' one day. However, my Mum often likes some chocolate once in a while.

I think it's key to know what the consequences are of eating this greasy food and balancing it with lots of veggies, fruit etc.

I agree. People should eat more healthily. A healthy balanced diet is the best way to keep in shape. People need to eat plenty of things that are good for them and just have the odd treat about once a week. We all enjoy indulging in food that isn't great for us, but if we keep it to a minimum and stick to healthy meals then we can keep in shape.

It can be incredibly difficult to stop yourself from eating junk food, particularly when you have easy access to it, such as when someone treats you or you don't have time to cook a healthy meal. People just need to have the willpower to stop themselves from indulging in unhealthy snacks and settle for healthier options such as a piece of fruit and they also need to cut out fizzy drinks.

 Fizzy drinks? Sorry but I drink Diet sodas and flavored waters with little or no calories. I save my calories for actual FOOD instead of wasting them on things like juice and other sugary beverages.

One of the problems with people today is that they've been led to believe that all things carbonated are bad. It's simply not true, particularly when compared to misleading sports drinks and "all natural" juice drinks which can contain up to 200 calories a serving!!!

I totally agree, this is why I cook my food separately from what the family eats. My diet quite literally consists of only fruit, veg, and seeds.
People don't seem to understand the seriousness of the damage they do to themselves by eating chemical filled foods, and additives.
The colours of such food doesn't even look right, and often the taste is artificial.

Vegan all the way =]

Go vegan warriors.

Yeah, I DEEEEEEEFINITELY agree. And the industry propaganda put out that's filtered through our schools (i.e. The food pyramid, school lunches, etc.) and our children's advertising is poisoning the minds of young ones. We should actually look at the facts and open our minds and hearts to animal suffering as well. It's better for US, and for the animals. It's better for the environment and for people who need food - the grain fed cattle and other animals could be used to feed STARVING people who need it. Animals need to eat GRASS and other natural foods - not hormones, chemicals, antibiotics, ground up OTHER animals and feces.

Totally.
I hate it when my parents drag me to some greasy fast-food place.
Most of the time their food makes me sick anyways.
