Ethics Of Legalizing Marijuana

The food industry doesn’t want the consumers to know what is in their food and how their food is made, because the industry is afraid that if the consumers know, that they will not want to eat their food anymore (FOOD,

"When the FDA analyzed the Obamacare menu labeling rule, it acknowledged the competitiveness of the restaurant industry, consumer demand for nutrition information, and the fact that nutrition information is provided to restaurant patrons." (The Heritage Foundation). This quote clearly shows that the market is working as intended; in other words, when the consumers asked for nutritional information, they did not get it. Instead, they got employees who knew about the information. In Fahrenheit 451, they keep information away from their citizens as well.

The main contributor, widely reported by top experts, is the consumption of cheap, and convenient foods such as fast food and the myriad of boxed foods available in the supermarket. Diane Brady asserts in her essay, “The Employer-Friendly Case for Pricer Big Macs” that “Of all the reasons why a third of U.S. adults are obese, the lure of cheap, unhealthy food ranks near the top” (519). With continual attention being given to the effects of unhealthy foods on adults and especially young people, one would think that America would wise up and stop consuming it at such an alarming rate. Again, Brady points out that, “Fast food chains have raised their game with healthier menu offerings and support for programs that encourage physical activity, but they continue to thrive by selling high-calorie food. McDonald’s salads, introduced in 1987, make up just 2 percent to 3 percent of U.S. sales” (520).

It positively affects those services because it is requiring that all restaurants which include fast-food chains and vending machines to display total calories of food items and have nutritional information in writing. This is a major step forward in improving the nation’s health. By giving people the option to see how “healthy” and “unhealthy” the food they are consuming is, people may now be prone to making better choices rather than having negative health effects down the road. The major groups that support this policy are Registered Dietitians and Dietetic Technician’s. This group is seeing preventive steps occurring that support obesity and cardiovascular disease which therefore can hopefully improve the health of this nation.

This growing problem has become frightening for today’s shoppers. The typical American shopper is unaware of what the ingredients listed on their labels truly are, because they cannot pronounce then or they have no clue where they come from. The consumers in the United States are taking steps to become healthier and to make wiser food choices. These choices have caused “major packaged-food companies to lose $4 billion in market share alone last year, as shoppers swerved to fresh and organic alternatives.” (Special Report)

Throughout my research for my argumentative essay, I have come to a conclusion that labels on foods are confusing for most people, they are not clear enough and they make people second guess what they are buying. This problem has caused people to have real life issues and has caused this world to make some problems even bigger. I want these sources to help me argue that this is a big issue and that there is way to fix it. My research goals are to find sources that will provide the meaning of each words on the labels, discuss what problems these labels cause such as people to ruining their healthy lifestyle, causing people to have trouble finding out if they are allergic to the food, and causing people to waste more food. I also want to find

People need to know what health issues they could be facing or hurting. There are plenty of nuts, beans and oils that could be put in your "healthy" salad or soup that are full of calories. This could be killing people and they would know to choose otherwise if this was a law. Additionally many have recently realized how unhealthy many things are that restaurants and chains have on the "healthy" side of their menu. They want to hold restaurants accountable for what their serving us.

Today the demands are changing in different states. In States such as Colorado and Washington, marijuana has been legalized for recreational use. This move raised several questions as far as decriminalization of marijuana is concerned. Besides portraying the US in a bad light, legalization of marijuana for recreation increases the risk of developing mental problems, increases government expenditure on public health, jeopardizes the future of children, and is a gateway to other dangerous drugs.

Should Fast foods have warning labels? From the skyrocketing obesity crisis to convenience, it's time to put warning labels on fast food. In May 1988, Canada passed the Tobacco Sales to Young Persons Act; this act required tobacco companies to put warnings labels such as; “smoking increases the risk of lung cancer” or “smoking during pregnancy can harm the baby” on their packaging. The same should happen to all fast-foods, fast-foods should have warning labels on them warning potential customers about their dangerous hazards.
