My Opinion About U.S. Government Taking Control OF Children’s Nutrition

I think that the government should take action by having healthier food in public schools; I remember elementary, middle and high school eating burgers. Burgers are not healthy at all. 

Obesity rates in the U.S. are scarry. Did you know that in 2007 and 2008 11.9% of children between 6 and 9 were obese and 16.9% were overweight? This numbers are scary because the 11.9% of overweight children at this time can be obese and probably have Diabetes or other health problems. I am glad that Obama and the senate wants to pass this expensive bill but they have to decide what kind of food are children going to eat and I personally think that the burgers should be eliminate from the kids school meal.

Global Warming

Global warming is a very serious and important problem that needs to be resolve. I heard that the president and some other leaders got together in 2009 to talk about global warming, but what do they bring home? The only thing they bring home is the hope that they will prevent the increase of global warming. Looks like the government only cares about is making profit and to make themselves look as the best government. People are tire of promises, we want the government to take action, and we want the government to use their power to help prevent the extinction of more animals. The government should use their power to pass laws that helps the prevention of global warming, the government also has the opportunity to talk to some other leaders and by that they can get to a conclusion that can help save the lives of many polar bears and other animals affected by the global warming. Remember that global warming is a change in our environment that can also harm many people. Our job as citizens is to use our public opinion to make the government take action.
