Hw#5-Dominant Discourses Regarding Contemporary Foodways in the U.S

Resource#1:
Fixing A World that Fosters Fat

The article talked a lot about how kids and adults nowadays are becoming more and more obsese from how the world is being portrayed such as mot advertising to execrise more and eating lots of unhealthy foods(junk food). From reading the article i think that the people writing think we are living in a time of which significant reform of U.S. foodways has already occurred but the techniques that we are using is not working such as media and other news. It seems like they always mention kids or young teens about being obese. It's always the same people. It never changes. “But the environment makes it so difficult that fewer people can do these things, and then you have a public health catastrophe” in this part of the text this is not a part of the discourse. For example the enivironment does not want to make it a part of their thing to be healthy because it is ulikely which makes it not a part of the discourse.

Told To Eats Its Vegetables, America Orders Fries

From reading the article i feel like a lot what they are saying is true. People cannot rely their lives on vegetables even if it means being unhealthy.In refrigerators all over the country, produce often dies a slow, limp death because life becomes too busy. Being healthy has a cost and so does being unhealthy. Food practices of a member of our society whose worldview gets sculpted by mass-media-propagated dominant discourse are usually eat what you see on television(all the bad things). It seems that we have always come back to the topic of not eating vegetables and eating bad things such as McDonalds. The dominant discourse we set the boundaries that we are unable to eat healthy because of the busy schedule of our lives and stick to the unutrient of foods such as french fries being mentioned.

Fresh Vegetables Where Fast Food Reign

I feel like if they had more of these fresh vegetables at a near neighborhood people would buy it more healthier. The people who wrote and quoted this article are trying to reform in the right direction by providing vegetables and fresher things to live great lives. “You get the food direct from the farm — they’re still cleaning it off when I get there. You can’t get more fresh than that.” I feel like very article you read no matter what always refers to vegetables and how you need to eat them which is not going to happen 85% of the time! Most of the problems is that we do not eat fresh veggies but at the same time media has to give up and let people do what they want. Why spend millions of dollars on things if people do not care that is how i feel personally.
