In the article "Bad Food? Tax It, and Subsidize Vegetables" by Mark Bittman, Bittman talks about how taxing unhealthy foods would benefit us, and people would resort to buying healthier food. An example would be if people got taxed extra money when they buy a cheese burger or a donut, then they will decide to take a second look at the healthier options instead, which cost less. The author makes these claims to help the population eat cleaner. Diseases like type two diabetes and heart attacks would be less prevalent if people would just eat healthier. I agree that taxing unhealthy food would allow the world to live healthier lives.
In the article "No Lunch Left Behind" by Alice Waters, Waters talks about redesigning the school lunch program. The reason for this, is that school lunches use the same chemicals as fast food places and being just as unhealthy. They also state that it doesn't help children actually become healthier. Parents and the older generations are the ones to teach the children of the future how to become healthy. School lunches should also follow along and change.
My research topic is about food health and how factory farming isn't as bad as it seems economically and environmentally.

Our topics of research are similar but I believe we have some differences. Although I do believe that free-range farming is better for the animals, I don't think that it is a good thing for the producers Since they won't produce as much meat. I also believe that both types of farming is still harmful to the environment and the only thing that is actually beneficial to the environment is to stop animal agriculture in general. I'm just responding to your research topic because for some reason the link wasnt Working.
