I was able to watch a documentary about food and how food industries are dominating the market and the interesting part was government played a big part knowing the fact that, all these foods has excessive amount of sugars which is unhealthy and yet government did nothing but tried to hide the cause. Doctors were paid by the companies to tell lies and those who couldn’t either got fired and protested about this serious issue. The most surprising thing to me was products such a Coca cola and all those sugary brands making campaign to stop consume junk foods.
Most people are not aware the amount of sugar they daily consume and how each sugar can cause bad effect on their body. This picture about will give slight idea how much we consume on each bottle of drink and these the products we frequently buys i know i am. There there are form of sugars are bad than others. I only know few out of many. For example lactose, fructose, glucose and many more. All these sugars are worst more or less than others.
So why government isn’t doing anything to stop these? Because all these food companies bringing large amount of profits creating job opportunities and more importantly for better economy. All these food companies are run and owned by political leaders or someone who is in close relations with political leaders. As a result, food companies are not going anywhere. However, they came up with low sugary food which isn’t helping anything at all.
We as a consumer need to be aware of this food and check the nutritional facts which i do not believe all the time. It is also our responsible to know what we are feeding ourselves and choose the right food. There are healthy foods out there and we need to pick the right food for ourselves. i think media and tv commercials billboard is also bringing more consumers. It is ultimately up to us what we should consume.
