Should Fast Food Come With a Warning like Drugs?

You can get fast food on almost any street nowadays. Fast food and junk food are everywhere you
look, and the world is only creating more fast food shops around the globe. Fast food is more
accessible than other food sources; it is also one of the most popular ways to get dinner. Business
workers are ordering in either for lunch or dinner, and this is usually from fast food places with
drive-throughs. Fast food companies use chemicals in their food that aren’t exactly healthy for the
human to consume on a regular basis. So, why should fast food companies be allowed to hide all
the chemicals and ingredients in their foods as well as hide any of the side effects that come with
eating that food?

The issue is that fast food isn’t healthy. Healthy foods don’t contain many of the chemicals that
fast foods do, they don’t affect the body in the same way. Healthy foods come from wholesome
ingredients and don’t have preservatives or other pesticides or growth hormones in them. We all
know that that’s food ingredients are in exactly healthy, but many of us failed to read the list of
ingredients for our favorite menu items. Because of this many of us lack the billet he to understand
how bad the first food we consume is.

Will you believe that fast food you come with a warning just like any other product you purchased?
You want to know exactly what’s going to happen to your body and you have the right to know
that information. It should not be hidden from you, and it should not be kept away as some
company secret. Every person has the right to understand how that food will affect their body.
From then on they can make their choices if they want to eat it or not.

If you’ve looked at documentaries such as the McDonald’s documentary and other fast food
documentaries you probably noticed that fast food as a long-term effect on a human’s health. Fast
food isn’t bad as long as you eat it every once in a while, but many people choose to eat fast food
every single day. This is not a healthy way of living and can end up causing you permanent damage
to your body because of the chemicals you were introduced into your body every time you eat at
fast food meal.

There are many of people who don’t want to know what’s in their food. But that’s only a small
population. Every person has a right to know how a product will affect them. Just as you see on
labels such as pills, medications, and even products such as workout equipment for scans. All of
these come with a warning on what could go wrong when you’re using it or consuming it. So why
should fast food be any different? Just because a small population of people doesn’t want to know
what’s in their food doesn’t mean that the rest of the population shouldn’t at least have a warning
sticker.

As you can see, everyone has the right to know what chemicals and products go onto their food. I
don’t know me that, but they also deserve to know by consuming the fast food what kind of effects
they should expect on their body. Many people think that fast food will only affect their calorie
intake for the day, this is not true. Fast food can affect a person’s Brain, psyche, and body. This is
why we believe the fast foods should come with a warning.

Should Schools Switch to Electronic Textbooks to Save Money & Paper?

If you noticed many students in college are getting their textbooks from either Amazon or another
website which has their textbook listed online. Real textbooks are made up of multiple hundreds
of pages of information, but this information is being written on paper. Writing A textbook on all
paper takes so many pages that it can be harmful to the environment and cost more money. Which
would you rather be using? Would you rather be using a textbook that is online or a textbook that
has been printed into a real book?

The issue here is that it takes so many pieces of paper to write just one textbook. A regular class
of college students has at least 50 to 100 students in that class. If the average textbook takes around
300 to 400 pages or more, you can see how this can be damaging to the environment and end up
costing a lot more money. Some students have a ready learned that by buying textbooks online
through Amazon, Chega, Kindle and other websites you can save almost half the money you would
originally be spending on a real textbook.

We are advocating for all textbooks to be switched to being electronic textbooks. Not only will the
switch help reduce the cost of textbooks, but it will also be saving the environment by reducing
waste and reducing the amount of paper used. The only concern we have is some teachers refuse
to allow their students to use textbooks online instead of real life textbooks. This is unfair and is
only hurting the environment and the student’s wallet. What side would you be on? Do you support
textbooks? Or do you support electronic textbooks?

For every textbook that is bought and in stores you are essentially supporting at least 600 pages on
average to be wasted. Many textbooks can only be used for that year as they are constantly being
upgraded to new versions. All the old tax end up just going in the trash or are recycled, however,
if you take a closer look at electronics textbooks they almost have zero waste and are quite
affordable. So, why wouldn’t you want to make the switch? Electronic textbooks give you instant
access to all of the same information, and you can even highlight, search, and bookmark any pages
that you would a normal book.

Many institutions argue that standard textbooks are still the way to go. One of the reasons for this
is because many colleges make their income based off of their textbooks. So it only makes sense
that they would want to continue selling their textbooks to you. But times are changing, and these
institutions need to change their mind and want to comes to electronic textbooks. Sure they won’t
be making as much money, but they can save money by not shipping those books and having them
in print, or by keeping them in stock in their bookstores. Think about how much money they waste
shipping in all of those textbooks and making sure that they are up to date and have all the
information that you need to graduate.

In conclusion, electronic tech books are the better option when it comes to learning. They save the
environment and our eco-friendly. They are less expensive than traditional textbooks. And they do
not cost as much money as regular textbooks. Not only they have all these benefits, but they also
give you instant access to all the information you need. Perform searches, highlight, copy and paste
all the information you need from your textbook into any other document to write your notes. This

is why we believe electronic textbooks are the best way to go when it comes to purchasing
textbooks.

The Main Problems/Challenges of The Pharmaceutical Industry

The pharmaceutical industry has become a billion dollar industry due to it’s ability to convince the
world that there is a pill for everything. How powerful is the pharmaceutical industry? Enough so
that its entire industry is referred to as “Pharma”. It has become an industry looked to for political
donations and lobbyists who are paid to put pressure on Congress to make things flow smoothly
for the pharmaceutical industry, which has led to corruption within the industry as a means of
underfunding and diminishing the power of the Food and Drug Administration.

Similar to the paradigm created by the oil industry and its blatant disregard for the environment
and natural habitats of animals, pharmaceutical companies have also undermined the notion of
medicine by using physicians as a means to advertise their products for profit, not necessarily what
is best for the patient being treated by the physician.

The main problems faced by the pharmaceutical industry today is no longer proving the need for
drugs, as they have been quite successful in accomplishing that. The problem now is providing the
results demanded by a society that have been convinced by the propaganda of pharmaceutical
companies. Medication is beyond expensive, and with health insurance companies unwilling to
pay for anything not considered life or death necessary and employers offering poor health
coverage to begin with, the problems and challenges faced by the those who need medication are
far more pressing than those faced by the pharmaceutical industry.

The medications on the market today have been successful for the past ten years-and with some
slick marketing and ad nauseam television time-will continue to sell. Most studies and reports
commissioned internally and by outside companies have forecasted out to 2020 for much of the
same. The managerial systems and processes used to create and manufacture drugs are in place
and that will not change for other new drugs that are currently being tested in hopes of being
brought to the consumer’s attention by that time.

What is in place for the pharmaceutical company will not change. There is no risk of losing any
ground due to the simple fact that people will continually become sick or develop other ailments
that will require more medication. The biggest challenge truly facing the pharmaceutical industry
is how it can capitalize on the opportunities created by more sick people and patients
