1. Why do people eat unhealthy food products?
People eat unhealthy foods for several different reasons. For one, lack of knowledge about nutrition facts. Some people don’t care and think that if they can still maintain a healthy lifestyle like exercise that the bad foods they are eating are cancelled out by the exercise.
2. What roles/responsibilities does the government have in framing your choice? (Should they be responsible for educating us? Should they be responsible for managing all products we consume? GM included, plastic chemicals-poisonous additives)
I believe the government should be responsible for managing and regulating all products we consume because food manufacturers need to be forced to meet specific guidelines to ensure the safety of the consumer and no one has power over them except the government. But I don’t necessarily believe it’s their job to educate us. If the food is manufactured properly with the right information on the packages we should be able to make healthy decisions with provided information on food.
