The Substantial Food life

1. Introduction

What did you eat last night? Did you eat at home or out? Did you eat alone or with someone? Had you eaten everything?

Do you know food education? It is the education of eating. By knowing the process of making food, the well-balanced food, and more, knowledge concerning food and ability to select food are acquired.

In the Developed countries, people can get abundant food and spend richly food life. As the result of this fact, however, people tend to have an unbalanced diet, and cause the problems of fatting, pollution by leftovers of the meals, and more. In such a situation, we could call it rich? Therefore through the act of food education, I want readers to revise the substantial food life.

2. The current food life in The United States.

Everything is big in America, big cars, big houses, big companies, big foods, and finally big people. According to the investigation of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, it is presumed that 127 million people, it is 64 percent of all Americans, are exceeding the normal weight, 60 million people are obesity, and nine million people are extreme obesity in the United States. 4 million people died of sickness caused by obesity every year.

One of the big problems is the effect of junk food for the boys and girls.

In many school dining of America, the meal service are provided by various fast food company. Inviting companies, schools can obtain enormous amount of donation from them. As you know, however, fast foods like pizza, hamburgers, fried chicken and French fries are typical junk food, high calorie, low nutritional value.

In addition, there is soft-drink vending machine. Carbonated soft drinks are the single biggest source of calories in the American diet, providing about 7 percent of calories; adding in noncarbonated drinks brings the figure to 9 percent. Teenagers get 13 percent of their calories from carbonated and noncarbonated soft drinks.

Consumption of carbonated soft drinks peaked in 1998, when consumption was 56.1 gallons per person. In a historic turnaround, consumption was 7 percent lower in 2004. And because some people have switched to diet sodas, the consumption of caloric soft drinks declined by 12 percent.

Soft drinks provide large amounts of sugars (mostly high-fructose corn syrup) to many individuals' diets. Soda pop provides the average 12- to 19-year-old boy with about 60ml of refined sugars a day and the average girl with about 56 teaspoons a day. Those amounts roughly equal the government's recommended limits for teens' sugar consumption from all foods.

To break this bad situation, there are innovative new act. As MARGARET SPELLINGS said in her report, Sodexo school service provides the new style of meal service. They are offering healthy foods that keep students well-nourished so that they perform well in the classroom. As they say, we have been a pioneer in working with students and teachers and administrators to educate students about healthy eating and to provide tasty, but nutritious choices. Not only providing the meals, they visit many schools and teach student about healthy food life.

In Japan, the most terrible problem is leftovers of the meal. It cause the environmental pollution.

Japan is known as the number-one amount of food import in the world, however, the fact that the number-one amount of food leftovers is unknown. Japan Association of Training colleges for Cooks works to break...
