HW 3

As our class took an educational trip to Taco Bell, as I was walking through Taco Bell, I tried to see things that I wouldn't normally notice. Since it was midday on a week day, there weren't too many people sitting and eating. I looked around to see that there weren't many staff members there either, this was weird, after all, it was midday on a week day. As I was moving around the restaurant trying to build a mental image in my head, I noticed all the different signs of how the Taco Bell food is irresistibly mouth watering and also unbelievably cheap! Since fast food restaurants are usually cheap, a lot of young people go there. The money high school students get from their parents are usually enough to buy food from places like Taco Bell or McDonalds. High school students also have less free time than adults and fast food restaurants are just perfect for them. Young people also have a higher metabolism rate than older people do so digesting fast food is a lot easier for them. Fast food targets old people less because of their inability, their weak body, and their smaller income. In conclusion, young people eat more fast food than old people do.

Fast food contains a lot of cholesterol, which increases the rate of heart attacks and high blood pressure, especially in old people. I definitely prefer fast food because of all the reasons that are posted in the first paragraph and also because like almost every other teen, I prefer taste over health. People in general usually like to eat what they like and it is very unlikely that this behavior will change just because it is a health risk. Alas, there is still hope, humans evolve and we might be able to fight our urges to eat tasty food over healthier food.
