Healthy Food VS Junk Food

Humans in this day and age don't like eating well. It's not all our fault. Blame evolution. Shouldn't humans be able to consume any food and be satisfied? Taste buds are weird but helpful. Taste buds are sensory organs found on you tongue that help you experience different tastes. Every person remembers that day where a family member bought them ice cream and it felt like they had a little piece of paradise in their mouth. Some people even remember the first time they ate a sour or bitter food. That is one of the wonders that comes with taste buds.

Having taste buds is also like a double edged sword. Having taste buds mean that you can dislike foods as well as liking them. It often turns out that the tastiest foods are often the least healthy. There is something messed up about the human body that causes us to eat junk food. What idiot species would partake in this stupidity.People often wonder how the human lifestyle would be if we ate the same food as squirrels and deer. We would live longer for sure. Life would be a drag. What is health without sacrifice.Another reason for human consumption of junk food is their lack of common sense. The human body is not made for the over consumption of fatty foods. Healthy foods help the heart. It seems that a lot of people don't appreciate the magic that healthy food can do.

There are a lot of exceptions to the human state of mind. In this world there are actually people who only eat healthy foods. These people are called vegetarians. They don't eat meat. All the things that kill us meat eaters are microscopic compared to the super humans we call vegetarians. These people have different reasons from straying from the path. Some people saw animals getting slaughtered while others just made a lifestyle change. It doesn't matter how or why they made a change. The fact is that they gave up the main food group of most Americans.

They switched meat for vegetables and other non meaty products. It leaves me to believe that vegetables taste really good to vegetarians.It's probably because of their taste buds and the way they experience taste. In the end that might not be so bad because of the good things that come out of it.

People say that it is so hard to go from a meat eater to a vegan . On the contrary 1% of people in the world are vegan. That is a large amount of people making good decisions. Healthy food should always prevail over junk food. So many good things could happen. Life would be so much better. Eating healthy helps your immune system . It cleans your colon. It improves your eyesight. Eating healthy helps you live longer. It keeps you lively. It improves your mood. A healthy lifestyle is cheaper. People could benefit of of a vegan lifestyle for a very long time cause it will never go bad.

  1. I feel that having junk food is okay once in a while and it's not always the best idea to be a vegetarian, because meat has a lot of protein. A majority of our nation's food restrict what vegetarians can consume, and therefore I admire them.
    I think that we should have a well-balanced diet instead of sticking to one class of the food pyramid. We would be able to maintain a healthy diet by having a bit of everything! :)

  2. "A healthy lifestyle is cheaper"...No, it actually is not.

    What you also neglect is the HUGE subsidies given to certain industries which allows for the relatively low cost for "junk food".
