What do we need to do to encourage less fast foods and more fruits and vegetables?  There are many theories as to how we can encourage better eating habits, most we know would fail terribly such as eliminating all fast food/junk food. It is a silly idea, but there are ways to lower the amount of fast food intake in America. It starts at home and requires dedication from parents but is the most important step in the process.  No matter what the public does it would be impossible to lower the fast food eating habit if parents don’t take the necessary steps to helping encourage a healthier lifestyle.  They can do this by making home cooked meals and not only feeding their children the healthy food but explaining to them what they are eating and why. By doing this it shows kids the importance of choosing fruits and vegetables over junk food choices. It all starts at home, so parents play the lead role in encouraging this healthy eating habit. Nothing outside of the home is even worth it if the effort inside the home is not there. Not only does the effort in the home need to be present but the knowledge of the strife and trying that the parents are putting forward as well. This will inturn will encourage less fast foods and more fruits and veggies.
