Abstract

This will explore briefly the public notion concerning dietary habits , fad diets , diets that work and diets that don 't . Without getting into biochemistry and the physiological aspects of each type of food that is available today , we will try to rationalize the choices available with the coming of some simple model to follow . We will also consider the fact that each person 's physiology is different , but we all share the common denominator behind

human physiology that should become the foundation behind the type of food we consume

2004 film Super Size Me produced a lot of self-realization . Filmmaker Morgan Spurlock was obscenely sincere about the reasons behind America 's deadly statistics . Living on McDonalds ' diet for a month he was able to at least , make us think about what exactly we place in our mouth .

The external pressure (i .e . kids ' demands , TV commercials , lack of time ) influences the decision that was already half-influenced . Convenience and time-saving are the major players in his or her decision . The realization for no need to extend an effort to do shopping , to prepare for cooking , and certainly to cook wins rationalization of the fact that such diet ' is not good for him /her or the family members . The affordable cost of fast food meals and the size of those contribute to the problem . Major player in this vicious circle is the convenience and the speed with which everything is done : the husband brings a bucket of KFC home and for a moment he is a here , he is in the center of attention .
