The Need for Healthy Food to be More Convenient!

Whenever you are in a hurry and need a quick meal, you can drive in any direction to a McDonald's or Wendy's to get a quick meal. However, this quick meal is not a good solution when it comes to your health. There are few to no quick food options that are also healthy in today's day in age. The only fast food establishment that contains semi-nutritious products is subway, but even then they aren't completely healthy. This has turned into an epidemic, here in the United States. According to the National Bureau of Economic Research, obesity in children ages 6-19 has increased from 5% to 17% since 1970 due to the increase of fast food chains. This means that fast food corporations are a main contributor to childhood obesity. This problem, however, could be solved if more healthy options, were as readily available as burger and fries are. If a restaurant that only served nutritious meals, that only took five minutes to prepare would attract countless of people, including hardworking mothers or workers who are running late. By offering healthier and more convenient food options could completely remodel society and help combat the obesity epidemic.

Review of the Subway 6-inch Sub

Subway Sandwiches are one of the quickest and easiest ways to get a semi-nutritious meal in a short period of time. Since they are so convenient, my family enjoys going there since there is something everyone will like. My order there is a six inch sub on Italian bread, with ham and American cheese, topped with lettuce and Italian dressing. My sandwich order is pretty basic, but they have so many combinations you could make whatever your heart desires. For sides I usually get a bag of chips and one chocolate chip cookie for a good treat. Normally I don't like sub sandwiches, but for some reason I love subway's. The sandwich is both tasty and filling since you get to decide what is on it. This aspect of choosing your own ingredients is great for me since I am a picky eater, making it simple for my family and I. Therefore, if you are ever in a hurry and need to re-fuel, might I suggest stopping at Subway to get any sandwich of your choice! Link to Subway's Menu: https://ww

When most people pick up food for their dog, they aren't very concerned with the ingredients because they trust the happy little pup on the front of the bag, almost like it is a spokesperson for doggies health. However, most of the food offered for dogs carry carcinogens, which are cancer causing ingredients that are putting your dog at a heightened risk of exposure. Also in the human world, we all know that McDonald's is not a good, nutritious meal to feed your family so why were you do it for your dog?
