Truth in Nutritional Information Jacob Jungers CHHS 302

Professional Interest Difficulty in finding healthy food on campus. ◦ Food implied to be healthy is often unhealthy. Effective grocery shopping is lengthy and difficult. ◦ Similar problem as on campus. ◦ Careful scanning of nutritional facts is required.

Critical Situation Nutritional information reduced to buzzwords. ◦ “Low-fat, low-sodium” effectively meaningless. ◦ High Fructose Corn Syrup is common. Cheap, healthy food exists, but is the exception. Unhealthy diets lead to health problems.

Rhetorical Timing US currently has obesity epidemic. ◦ This is in large part due to dietary misconceptions. Unhealthy eating habits passed from parent to child. ◦ Leads to vicious cycle. Poor economy further dictates food choices.

“They Say” Unhealthy diets linked to depression. Availability of grocery stores not linked to low-income BMI. Most people not aware of their sodium intake Many companies strain the definition of “natural”. Some companies and restaurants removing HFCS from their food.

Community Connection Concerned Citizens ◦ This is a nationwide issue. Most importantly, parents. ◦ Break the vicious cycle of unhealthy eating. University students and other young adults. ◦ Attempt to end the ‘macaroni & cheese diet’
