A study was done that proved that eating a Western diet for even just a week can impair your brain function. It can cause you to overeat, eat foods that are high in sugars and fats, and make people have the desire to eat those bad foods following right after a meal. Eating this kind of diet can cause issues and disruptions in the hippocampus area in the brain, which controls memory and appetite control. Eating this diet makes you crave more snacks like chocolate and other junk foods which makes it harder to resist over time. If you eat this diet for a long time it can cause obesity and diabetes, which are linked “to developing dementia and declines in brain performance.” They are not completely sure why this happens yet.
- If you eat this style of diet would you consider changing your diet? Why?
- Do you think the government should put more control over the sugars, fats, etc. in foods to try and control this? Why?

Good job overall but be sure to include personal thoughts.
So you could switch to a better way of eating because if the "Western Diet" is as bad as it is said it would be hard to quit it but probably very good for your health so you try not to ear as much sugar and fats in foods. I think the government should but more control on the sugar but they probably wouldn't because the reaasons they don't is because they use all the sugar in food to get people addicited to it so they sell more.
I agree that it would be difficult to switch to a healthier diet, but I think it is very important to do so for your health and well being. I don't agree that the government is putting all the sugars and fats in foods to sell more, I think it is the businesses that want to make money.
I do not think the government should put anything on the foods we decide to eat ourselves. If people can be born a guy and become a girl or a girl can choose whether or not to have an abortion we can choose what foods we want to eat. The government should not put any restrictions on food.
I think that maybe they should put some restrictions on the amount of sugars, fats, ect. that can be put in a serving of their food item, beause some people may not be aware of the amont that is already in them and don't know how unhealthy they already are.
I would consider changing my diet because I do not want to have a short life. I would want to be a healthy old man that would be able to live on my own free will. I would also change because I want what is best for my body to gain muscle for football and other sports.
I agree, I think it is an important thing to eat healthy and do what is best for your body so you can live a nice long life to be here for your children and grandchildren too. I think that sports could be great motivation to eat healthier and just to get healthy in general.
I would try too change my diet so then I wouldn't be at risk for my brain function and and obesity. I don't think they should take complete control, but I think they should try to limit the amount of certain fats and sugars in foods to be healthier for everyone.
I agree that it is important to try and change our diets because of the effect it has on our brains and our overall health in general. I also don't think that the governemnt should have complete control over foods that we can purchase but still put some regulations on the amount of sugars, fats, ect. that are in them.
1. Nope, everyone knows eating like this is bad for you but everyone still does it because it tastes good and its their choice to die fat and happy, so let them, this is America.
2. Nope, like I said before this is AMERICA lets continue to have our freedom of choice.
