Dear Oranges,
I do not really get to see you anymore, because it is not your season when you get picked, but I do miss having a slice of you every hot summers day. With your citrusy flavor every time I eat one of you, you still make me want to eat another. You are definitely not expensive and your easy to get. I just need to run to my back yard and their you are, just sitting there taking in all the sunlight you can possibly take in. You are also really important because you have vitamin C in you a natural immune system booster that may help prevent viral and bacterial infections which is really important to our life. It is also an antioxidant vitamin that may prevent organ and tissue damage caused by free radical molecules and lipids. All in all you are really important to me and other humans, that’s why you are my favorite fruit ever.

Food Inc. Persuasive essay
Persuasive Essay on Food Inc.
Do you know what ingredients are in your food? Many food companies have been debating whether or not to include all the ingredients of their products on their labels. According to The National Labeling Company, only 16% of all food companies list all their ingredients. People should have a right to know what is in their food because some ingredients may harm them and because someone can be on a specific diet.
One reason food consumers should know what ingredients are in their food, is so the ingredients don’t harm them. Some people react differently to the intake of different ingredients. Therefore, if the company doesn’t list that one ingredient, it may cause serious harm to that person. Also, someone could always have an allergic reaction to a certain ingredient, which can also cause serious harm. There are many other reasons why consumers should be able to know whats in their food.
The second reason why a person should be able to know what’s in their food is because they could be on a specific diet. For instance, if they couldn’t consume a specific seasoning in their diet, and the company didn’t list it, then they may not know that it is in that food. This is another reason why companies should have to list the ingredients in their food.
However, some may argue that companies shouldn’t have to list all of their ingredients. For instance, one may argue that if they put all of the ingredients, another company may try to make their product exactly the same, and call it their own. However, there are many serious reasons as to why they must list the ingredients, including medical issues.
Many people believe that companies should have to list all their ingredients. This is why so many problem are turning to organic food, because they list practically every ingredients. These are just some of many reasons as to why companies should have to list their ingredients in their products.

I watched a documentary called Food Inc. during class. In there, they say things about hidden costs and How it matters about which food companies produce your food. It does matter which food companies make your food because some companies have hidden unhealthy things in the food and might have bad practices which exploit workers.
The companies matter because of things they hide from you which might be unhealthy. For example, there might be certain chemicals that some people might be allergic to. When companies hide things like that, people get bad reactions and get unhealthy. Since many companies have hidden things that can be bad, it does matter which company.
Some companies have bad practices that might make it bad. For example, some companies exploit workers and have E Coli contamination in their meat. Having contamination is bad because it can cause people to become sick and die. That is why it matters which companies produce your food.
This is why it matters which food companies produce your food. Some companies might have in-obvious things in them which can be harmful. Also, some companies have bad practices that exploit workers and have E. Coli contamination. That’s why it matters which companies produce your food.

Food Issue Essay: Should access to healthy food be available to everyone?
by Amine Abdelouahid
Access to healthy foods should definitely be open and free to the public. Some people in the country and on this earth do not have any food. For example in some parts of Africa some colonies do not even have anything to drink. Hungry people would do anything to get their hands on something to eat, if it is grain, water, or anything at all. So if people do not have any food to eat, they are not thinking of the health, they are thinking of getting food into their body’s. So the problem is not only do people eat healthy, but do they eat at all.
People that do not have access to healthy foods might be poor, or they just do not want to eat healthy. Healthy foods are really important to your health, eating fast foods all the time could really jeopardize your health and could lead you to different dangerous diseases. Some families do not always have the choice of eating healthy or even eating at all. Studies show that eating healthy can be 4 times more expensive than eating fast foods, but can also be a lot more healthy. At McDonalds it is 1$ for McChicken, in a McChicken there is enough salt to fill up a small cup all the way to the top. But in a grocery store you can only buy one pound of broccoli for 3.99$. which is really expensive.
Even though healthy foods are really good for you they can get a little pricey. So people that can not afford the healthy food at a safe way, then you should at least get something healthy at the fast foods that you are going to eat at. The problem that we have is that people do not have the access to healthy food, so normally people that do not have access to these foods are people that could not afford healthy foods, so those people go eat at McDonalds or other fast foods like this so they get sick really fast, and catch really harmful diseases.
People that eat these harmful fast foods on a daily bases have a really high percentage of getting diseases like type 2 diabetes, and high blood pressure, just diseases like that could make a human pass away. Some hard working people do not have the money for healthy food so they eat fast food and once they start eating lots of fast food they risk their chances of diabetes and health issues and once they start risking health issues they pass away. So it is all leading one thing to another. Family with these hard decisions should try to start planting their own vegetables and fruits so they can have a healthy thing in their body. These are small tips to live a really long healthy life.
However even if people do not have the money or the time to go to the grocery store and buy healthy foods, it is not an excuse not to have healthy fruits at a fast food or to try to reduce the amounts of how much you eat. People should also try there best to reduce the quantity of their foods. If people start to do this then their will be less child obesity and less diseases.
