Eating Death Bascaramurty
Eating Death
According to “Should We Ban Competitive Eating?” by Sarah McCarry’’ and “Step Away From the Hot dog: Should competitive eating be banned?” by Dakshana Bascaramurty, competitive eating should be banned. It’s wasteful, can cause death, and has high risks for serious health problems. First of all, “805 million people go hungry every day, downing ridiculous quantities of food for entertainment seems not just wasteful, but calloug” (McCarry 17). This explains that it is pointless to waste food on some competition that doesn’t promote anything positive. People everyday are starving and we’re sitting on our couches watching people scarf down food that those people could be eating. Secondly, “In 2004, a Japanese woman choked to death

    Wrestlers Cutting Weight

    Some athletes do extra things to help them win, whether it be for a football player doing extra work outs, or taking steroids to a baseball player staying late from practice to work on his hit. In wrestling, some people do drastic things to help them be the best. “Kyle Talley of St. Mark’s, a state champion at 145 pounds last year, now wrestles at 152 pounds, about six pounds lighter than his natural weight” (Tresolini). Many wrestlers use unhealthy ways to cut weight; … “of 713 high school wrestlers studied in Wisconsin, almost half revealed weight cutting habits that included two or more forms of bulimic-type behavior such as food and water deprivation, laxatives or induced vomiting” (Tresolini). While cutting weight may help a wrestler achieve a short-term goal, some people wonder what the long-term effects will be on their health.…

    Chapter 12

    ating is a behavior that is of interest to virtually everyone. We all do it, and most of us derive great pleasure from it. But for many of us, it becomes a source of serious personal and health problems. Most eating-related health problems in industrialized nations are associated with eating too much—the average American consumes 3,800 calories per day, about twice the average daily requirement (see Kopelman, 2000). For example, it is estimated that Watch 65% of the adult U.S. popuYou Are What You Eat lation is either overweight or www.mypsychlab.com clinically obese, qualifying this problem for epidemic status (see Abelson & Kennedy, 2004; Arnold, 2009). The resulting financial and personal costs are huge. Each year in the United States, about $100 billion is spent treating obesity-related disorders (see Olshansky et al., 2005). Moreover, each year, an estimated 300,000 U.S. citizens die from disorders caused by their excessive eating (e.g., diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, and some cancers). Although the United States is the trend-setter when it comes to overeating and obesity, many other countries are not far behind (Sofsian, 2007). Ironically, as overeating and obesity have reached epidemic proportions, there has been a related increase in disorders…

    Fast Food Nation

    You walk into a fast food restaurant - let’s say McDonalds for example – and you order yourself a salad. You made the conscious decision on ordering that salad because you wanted to eat something that was considered healthy instead of the order of large fries that were calling your name. In Eric Schlosser’s book, “Fast food nation”, and Mark Bittman’s TED Talk: “What’s wrong with what we eat”, the issue of overeating is brought up and a question arises. We must eat to survive and we enjoy eating food that tastes good, but what happens when the world begins eating too much and we stop cooking just to get that quick cheap meal?…

    Child Pageants Analysis

    While that may be true, is the cost of spending so much just to prep them for it and having them put out there on the shady media worth it? God only knows what kind of creepers lie within the depths of the internet. Also, the supporter of child beauty pageants goes on to say the following, “The players and beauty contestants must have the willpower to eat properly and stay in a healthy, but also, top physical shape to perform their best.” (Glitter and glamour: Inside children beauty pageants,P.9). So apparently, they should cut (meaning to be more defined) and have strict diets? This goes back to my point on CHILDREN NEED TO BE CHILDREN! They should be able to have some McNuggets every once in awhile, not be restricted from foods like it! The supporter then goes on to state the following “This teaches children whether they compete on the field or on the pageant stage, that to be successful one must have self-discipline.” (Glitter and glamour: Inside children beauty pageants, P.9-P.10) Last time I checked, isn’t it the parents job to teach their kids discipline, and influence their self…

    Obesity In America

    The fast food industry is a growing industry considering America’s obesity problems. According to the Fast food industry analysis by Franchise Help, there are over 200,000 restaurant locations and revenue has grown at an 8.6% annualized rate. Our economy seems to be going downhill and many Americans don’t want to spend ridiculous amounts of money on fast food, which in return leads to a key survival factor for many of these fast food restaurants, which I will later talk about in further detail. America is finally being struck by the fact that over one-third of adults are obese, so a certain few of them want to take action. Obesity leads to diseases, which then could lead to an easily preventable death. With that in mind, it’s going to cause…

    Mindless Eating

    Mindless Eating

    I basically agree with what Wansink has to say about why people sometimes overeat unknowingly. This book itself is called Mindless Eating simply because sometimes we are unaware of what actually prompt us to eat what we eat and at what quantities. What is good about this book is that it does not sell unrealistic approach on how to lose weight, but instead shows us that it is the power of human brain which ultimately leads us to eat more or less. All those carbs, fat grams, and calories come behind. There are a lot of new discoveries- which I honestly never though about- that this book brings to surface. Having an open candy dish in your home or office makes it more likely that you will snack on whatever you put in there even when you are not hungry is one. Another is that foods with descriptive names will seem to taste better than those with less attractive labels although they are made of the same ingredients. Moreover, Wansink approach to the readers is not preachy at all, but full of eye-opening information which is really interesting in many ways. The book offers plenty of interesting studies, and one of my personal favorite is the study of strawberry yogurt, in which Wansink and his team invite 32 people to rate the taste of some new strawberry yogurts. The only exception is that they have to eat with the lights turned off; and that they have no clue that the researchers actually gave them chocolate yogurt instead of strawberry. Strangely, the mere suggestions that they were eating strawberry yogurt led 19 out of 32 people to rate it as having good strawberry taste. This simply concludes that we taste what we think we will taste; so if we can’t see the food and someone tells us we’re going to taste strawberry, strawberry it will be. Another thing I like about this book is that each chapter has its own “reengineering strategy” section; a part where Wansink gives us tips to make a change to our surrounding that can tempt us to overeat. For example, we…
