Poor food choices is the main cause of gaining weight. However, weight is not the only effects from this. Choosing to eat unhealthy can create many health problems and possibly diseases that would require a person to be on medications. A man named Joe Cross said “70% of the diseases that affect us now are caused by our life choices: how we exercise, if we smoke, and what we eat” (Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead). Cross proved that choosing a healthy diet would relieve all medications and prevent obesity. Obesity can lead to heart disease, diabetes, and other conditions. The quality of life suffers, as it is difficult to enjoy exercise or to even move without getting back aches or joint pains. Another result is the lack of self-esteem. This can lead to becoming depressed. Being depressed and how you look can really make a person craving for pleasure. Most of the time, people would eat when their depressed, thus causing them even more weight. When being compared to the most death causes in the world, eating unhealthy is as equivalent to smoking tobacco. The country is also affected from the country to becoming unhealthy. It becomes very expensive for the government to provide advanced medical care such as heart transplants and medications. Unhealthy adults are also less productive, making children learn poor eating habits and harming the future of society. Many of these effects are caused simply from unhealthy food choices.

Nevertheless, todays society is struggling from obesity. This is mainly caused by unhealthy food choices. Food nowadays are being chosen out of convenience and pleasure. Many people forget the fact that it is a lifestyle choice. Humans are meant to eat to survive. Eating things like hamburgers will not make a person survive when compared to food options like macronutrients. However, choosing foods can even be more inconvenient as the food industry is always changing its products, creating many claimed “low-fat” products. Choosing a unhealthy lifestyle leads to many health problems and diseases. Most americans that take medications are coming from unhealthy eatings. Overall, unhealthy eatings can be convenient and pleasurable, but the effects that comes along will effect you long term, making you wish you didn’t order that large big mac meal.
