What’s Go for People to Eat?

Introduction:

Keeping to a diet is hard for the average American; with all the responsibilities of kids, work friends, and other tasks that we have to do in order to maintain the luxurious life that we have. These lives that we live may lead us to hurry with our meals and forces us to grab a “quickie” whenever we need one. Our busy lives may lead to many things in our life, stress, high blood sugar, high cholesterol and any other health conditions that we as Americans may have. However, there is an alternative to eating while working and having take-out meals when we’re just too plain old too lazy cook. By eating less and eating right we could lead ourselves to a better health, but if we were to eat with pleasant company such as friends and family we could lead more to a stress free, and happier life that may alternately lead to a healthier life.

Major Arguments:

Health Arguments:

By having a meal with your family you will be given the chance to build a bond with you’re children and know what is bothering them or what their interests are and alternatively stop worrying that they will do something stupid in the near future. This could limit stress and depression in both the children and yourself. By eating with your friends and co-workers you could build a stronger bond with them or talk to people that you won’t normally talk to. This makes the occasionally “hello” an actual hello instead of a “get the hell out of my face”. By doing this you could build a stronger communal bond with a neighbor, friend or co-worker.

Accessibility Arguments:

You could have a meal with company anytime and anywhere. The company could be your friends, neighbor, co-worker, family members, and even people you just met. And you could be eating anything whether it’s fast food or Starbucks’ coffee. Cities are covered with restaurants and any town has at least a mall. The point of this is not how you eat but who are you eating with. As long as you’re having a conversation you might take a load off someone or have someone take a load of you.

Ethical Arguments:

By eating with someone or listening to him or her that person might not commit suicide in the near future or even fall into post-modern day depression. By accompanying someone for a meal and having a conversation with him or her you might make that person feel better not only about themselves but also about others. It is considered ethnical that we build relationships with others because if that person were to shoot anybody the next day because he feels that the world is unfair to him or her, you will be able to not only save this persons life but also save the lives of your co-workers, school mates, or even friends and families.

Conclusion:

It is always good for people to eat healthy and be aware of what they put into their mouths. One form of this is Vegans. Eating a strict diet of none animal products is always good for ones health and the daily recommended source of nutrition is always consumed with the vegan’s diet. However, eating right is only half of the plan to maintain a healthy life style. Even if you eat right one might still be in risk of depression, stress, frustration and have anxiety attacks every once in a while. No matter how you eat or what you eat no food or sort of diet can replace the company of your friends, family, and neighbors. With this company one might at the end or for that moment feel more comfortable about themselves.
