Health conditions like bad nutrition lead to other health issues such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and many others. Due to the rapid growth of preventable health related diseases, we need to take action.
In order to decrease this growth and prevent/control these diseases, the only actions people have to take are to eat a healthy nutritionally balanced diet and regularly exercise. Since people are aware of this, yet still don't change their lifestyles to better their health we are posed with the question of how to take action.
In your opinion, which option would prove to be more effective for our future nation?
Option A: Provide a nutrition/life skills class that is part of the daily curriculum for middle and high school students, so that they can learn the importance of nutritionally balanced meals and how they effect their health. This class will be interactive in which there is a portion of the class that is taught in a classroom and another portion of the class that is taught in a kitchen so that the students can learn how to accurately produce/cook their own food.
Option B: Provide funds for research on more weight loss surgeries to stop these health related issues.
