Recommended: Cause and effects of fast food for kids

Introduction Nowadays, fast food has become more popular because many people depend on eating fast food in their daily life. Also, the food that cooked in restaurants, is delicious and appeals people of all ages. Many people like to eat fast food more than the homemade food because it is easy to buy and fast to eat. In my country, Qatar, people love to eat fast food and this is bad for their health. It can lead to healthy problems like high blood pressure, heart disease, and obesity. Consequently, I chose this topic as I think it is very essential for people to know the bad effects of fast food. Also, I decided to make a survey to know why people like to eat fast food, how often they consume fast food in their lives and how much they spend on fast food per week. Survey Findings The survey was completed on 6th October by 28 respondents. It was hard to analyse some answers especially for males, because some of them did not answer with truthfulness. Only (14%) of respondents were males, so the majority of the respondents were females where the total percentage was 86%.In addition, people who do the survey were 85% Arabs and 15% Non – Arabs of different age groups, so majority of the respondents were aged 17-19 (61%). I used Google to do my survey and to send it, I used the Blackberry and Blackboard. Two of the males said that they enjoy eating fast food, compared with the ten of females who said the same response. Almost all everyone enjoy eating fast food. Males like McDonald’s, Hardees and KFC were 25%.On the other hand, females like McDonald are mostly were 31%. Both of genders chose those restaurants because of good service, which were 75%. Those who chose it for being cheap were 50%.... ... middle of paper ... ...oy eating fast food were more than the males as I concluded from the survey.Moreover, this experience was very interesting for me since I learned a lot of information. Also, I was surprised by different answers from respondents as I expected different results in the survey. Furthermore, I was hoping more responses, especially from men to be this study more accurate. Finally, this project allowed me to gain more experience in doing surveys. Also, I benefited from it on the personal level as I’m better now at summarizing and writing project reports. It will help me to develop my writing in the future. The problem that I faced in the project was the choice of the topic. I think that I chose somewhat complicated topic as I did not have enough information about it. In future, I will be more careful when choosing the topic that I have to get more accurate information.

  • Food Insecurity Case Study

    1436 Words  | 3 Pages

    During the 1990-1991 school year, dietary records of 1,912 college students were examined to identify the amount of meals students skipped and which types of food students were actually eating. The study found that 22% of the students skipped their breakfast, however students were recorded to snack at least once a day. Furthermore, the study also found men consumed foods with higher calories and higher amount of fat. The study appears to be more quantitative, however qualitative practices must have taken place when interviewing subjects about their meals to input into the dietary records. The findings propose that college students should be eating more vegetables and fruits, along with consuming less carbonated beverages and dishes with a high amount of fat. Although, this is a well done study, it is limited because it was done over 20 years ago, so eating habits of college students might have changed within this time. For instance, within these 20 years, the perception of soda has changed drastically, which illustrates the need for this type of study to be more relevant to college students today. Moreover, much of this study is focused on what these students are eating, but I also believe finding out about how students attain their meals is important for the understanding of a college student’s dietary

  • Fast Food Restaurants and the Decline of American's Health

    1943 Words  | 4 Pages

    One out of every three Americans is obese and the majority of these obese people in the United States have eaten regularly at fast food restaurants. As the obesity rate increases, the number of fast food restaurants goes up as well. Although it is not certain, many believe that obesity in the United States is correlated to eating fast food. Since the United States has the highest obesity rate out of any country, it is important for Americans to monitor the fast food industry that may be causing obesity. With the pressure to get things done in a timely manner, fast food became a big necessity. However, when creating fast food restaurants, the industries were not thinking about the negative effects such as obesity. Other than obesity, other harmful effects exist as well. Fast food restaurants serve unhealthy products such as greasy foods and artificial meat that lead to dietary health issues in many adults and children. A recent study showed that “Young children who are fed processed, nutrient-poor foods are likely to become unhealthy teenagers, and eventually unhealthy adults. Now twenty-three percent of teens in the U.S. are pre-diabetic or diabetic, 22% have high or borderline high LDL cholesterol levels, and 14% have hypertension or prehypertension” (May, Kuklina, Yoon). The food that they provide is made to be eaten quickly, causing problems for the digestive system. Also, the health problems lead to the use for health insurance, which adds to the costs of Medicare. Health care costs will only worsen an already failing economy. Therefore, the government should regulate fast food restaurants in the United States in order to repair the deteriorating health and economy in America.

  • What Are The Advantages And Disadvantages Of Survey Research

    867 Words  | 2 Pages

    Surveys are an effective and popular method for research because of the efficiency, versatility and generalizability. Generalizability is the ability to sample and draw research conclusions for large populations (Bachman & Schutt, 2012). In order to effectively maximize outcomes in survey research, surveys must be structured to avoid unclear or confusing questions. Demographic related questions should be avoided if not pertinent to the research study (Bachman & Schutt, 2012). Generally, the motivation of the researcher is clearly identified in a survey, and the respondent has the option of declining involvement in the survey. There are fewer ethical dilemmas with survey research than other types of research methods.

  • The Unhealthy Diet of College Students

    ...omething to go. I found out that college student’s want foods that are quick, taste good, and cheap. The limitation to my research was that I only passed out ten surveys all at the cafeteria. Perhaps if I did more or passed them out at a different location I might have gotten different results. I also only interviewed two people, and a larger sample might have changed my results. Also only observing my roommates shopping might have limited me to what I always eat, other college students might buy healthier foods when they shop. Take a minute now and think about what you eat in an average day and see if you fall into the categories of eating unhealthy with the majority of college students. Next time you buy something to eat take a second and look what’s in it and think to yourself. Should I be eating this? Or is there something healthier that I could be eating?
