Research essay 范文
Obesity has become a global epidemic. According to the statistics released by International Obesity Task Force (2003), almost 1 billion people worldwide are overweight and at least 300 million are obese, among whom 115 million come from developing countries with rampant under-nutrition. Obesity has posed a great threat to human beings’ health. According to data from NHANES (2004), hypertension is greatly associated with overweight, and rates of hypertension increase with worsening obesity. Other health-risk diseases including type 2 diabetes, gallbladder disease, and osteoarthritis are closely related to obesity. It is predicted that there is one-third increase in the loss of healthy life as a result of overweight and obesity over the next 20 years, with the number of global deaths rising from three million to five million annually. Given that, it is urgent to defuse obesity---- a health time bomb. To achieve the goal, it is first and foremost to identify where responsibility lies. Food industry, the main supplier of food energy consumed by the population, should assume due responsibility for the epidemic. Only by identifying the major responsibility of the food industry can it makes correspondent efforts to war against the obesity.
To begin with, driven by making more profits, food industry bombards adults and children with advertisements, pricing strategies, delicate packages, which induce both adults and children to consume the junk food. For example, advertisement aimed at children plays a major role in children’s suffering from obesity. According to the report on food marketing to children and adolescents released by the Federal Trade Commission (2008), advertisements of 44 major food and beverage are targeted at children under 12 and adolescents through the traditional media and new forms of marketing including packaging, pricing and internet in the United States, where people’s health is greatly threatened by obesity. Nevertheless, Tillotson (2002, p.137) argues that the desire for food resides within human beings, and the solution to obesity can be controlled only by human beings. That is not necessary true. First, from birth, humans tend to prefer sweet and fat foods biologically, while the strategies for sales promotion of food industry take advantage of the pReferences. Besides, children, the group vulnerable to obesity, are devoid of knowledge of nutrition and the spirit of self-discipline, their food promotion is ‘dominated by television advertising’. (Hastings, 2003, p.98) Second, the food choice is restricted by financial status. According to Food commission, many low-income families are ‘priced out of a healthy diet’ (2004) as a shopping cart of healthy food cost 51 percent more than a cart of unhealthy food. (Cited in Purcell, 2008) Therefore, the poor turn to sweet and fatty foods which are vastly cheaper than nutrient-rich fruits and vegetables. Obviously, it is not individuals’ fault. It is the bombarded promotions that guide individuals to make wrong choices.
Second, food industry changes people’s life style, that is, more and more people tend to eat outside. According to Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs (2007), eating out takes up an average of 7.6% of individual energy intakes. Foods served at fast-food outlets and restaurants contain 65% more energy-dense than the average diet. Compared with these prepared at home, foods eaten本论文由英语论文网提供整理,提供论文代写,英语论文代写,代写论文,代写英语论文,代写留学生论文,代写英文论文,留学生论文代写相关核心关键词搜索。
