I think people eat less healthy food nowadays because before there were not as many junk foods as it is nowadays. Although there are also a variety of people who eat healthy since it became very viral to become fitness this 2023, we all know that people who eat healthier foods are more likely to grow, have more energy and suffer less infections. We can observe that nowadays people are fatter than before.

For example:

-Today the use of genetically modified foods is widely used for food, although they are not recommended for health.

-In the past, freshly harvested products were consumed while nowadays different preservation methods are used to ensure that products imported from far away reach home in good conditions.

-The means of food preservation at that time were not as safe as they are today. There were no refrigerators. This led to the proliferation of bacteria and, therefore, health was at greater risk.

-In the past, food was not very varied.

-Now children have very high levels of overweight and obesity. We are seeing problems of fatty livers and high cholesterol that we used to see only in adults.

I think that people today eat less healthy food than before because food was not processed before, but today most foods are processed.

Even though there are healthy options to eat, most people opt for fast and less healthy food.

Even though there is more information available about healthy eating, it seems that people are choosing less nutritious options than before. This could be because of the easy access to fast food and processed snacks, which are often cheap and convenient. Unless individuals prioritize their well being and make conscious choices, unhealthy eating habits may persist. Since taste and convenience play a significant role in food choices, healthier options are sometimes overlooked. Although some individuals are making positive changes, there is still a need for broader awareness and education to encourage healthier eating habits.

I believe that people no longer have good habits like before, now they prefer to buy or order fast food because it is easier and it saves time. Although it is a bad decision, there are also many people who lead a healthy life, exercise. , eat healthy food and take care of THEIR health. Even if it is difficult, it is good to do it. Unless you do not have these habits, it may have consequences in the future. If you do not want to have consequences, you must carry out these habits. There are healthier dishes we can think of something easy and balanced, and if we don't have time we can prepare our food at a time when we have time. Despite that junk food is not prohibited because it is also delicious, we cannot forget to keep a balance. If you cannot maintain this balance, you must understand that it is necessary and see the advantages of eating healthy, to take care of your health and live much longer. Exercise is also important, I know people who, despite not having time, exercise when they have time and take care of their diet. Drinking fluids like water is also important because this way you stay hydrated and have more energy.

I think we have a problem in our world and country. Before we gave importance to the table. We used to grow our vegetables and fruits. We used to eat healthy and fresh meals. But... Now we are in a hurry. Isn't it important that we eat?

-It's important, even if we don't care. Why is it important?.

Because it improves your health. If we cook our food and are not dependent on canned and frozen foods, we will have a better lifestyle and live longer.

I can speak from my brother's experience. He used to eat fast or fatty foods. It's delicious and easy to do and we like to eat it even though it's dangerous. Since he avoids foods with a lot of oil and eats more vegetables, he looks better and is not tired.

He actually looks happier than before. So... If you want a better lifestyle, you have to improve your eating habits. You have to drink water, eat vegetables, fruits, meat, eggs... And have a balanced diet unless you want to get sick and tired.

In summary We must give importance to what we eat unless we want a sick and weak society. Instead, we have to eat better (like we used to) if we want a happier and healthier country.

In my opinion, people are eating more unhealthy because they don't have time to cook their food. For example, if a person who works all the day has to lunch something and he doesn't have time, his first option is TO look for fast food, and not only that, we can see in the supermarkets frozen products, unhealthy FOODS and others, and all this generateS big problems in children, and adults,. The people are going to take thESE foods like a habit, and it's so dangerous for THEIR health. Although changING the fast foods, bad habits IS difficult, we have to try to look for best products, cook our food. Unless you change your habits, this problems will continue, it's going to MAKE IT a global problem. In PAST times, people used to eat more healthy, avoiding healthy problems, they didn't have a definite diet, but they used to have all the foods TO keep a good health, like fruit, protein and vegetables. Now we should choose our food better, avoid fast foods if it is possible and try to keep a balance diet with the essential foods

I think people are eating less healthy food, times have changed and fast food is eaten by everyone because it's so easy to get and MAKE in loads. In the past, people ate helthier food even though a lot of fast food was already seen everywhere, leading us to become addicted to fast food and not exercise our body.

Now people should start changing their diet and start eating healthy food because eating junk food can create diseases, such as diabetes and more. In order to improve our diet, we have to exercise and start eating vegetables and fruits. I recommend that we start to carry out a diet accompanied by an exercise routine.

The majority of people who exercise and maintain a balanced diet have a healthy life without diseases or some kind of problem that makes them visit the doctor since they avoided junk food. In the past, people had a healthy diet since they sought the better food options that have healthy proteiN and minerals to sUpport our health.

I believe that young people are eating less healthy food than years ago because it is very common for us to see overweight young people.

Although there are many people who are overweight since fast food restaurants opened, there are also many people who are healthy because they eat healthy and play sports or exercise regularly. Unless we understand that we have to change eating habits, we WON'T be healthy.

If we want to look healthy and avoid diseases, we have to stop eating fast and unhealthy food.

We have many healthy food options vegetables and fruits are the best optionS. Unless we have no other options, we can eat fast food. Although there are many healthy fast food options such as meat with vegetables or grilled chicken eggs, THEY are very good and they have a lot of protein.

I think people are starting to eat healthier than used to eat. Although fast food market grows more and more, there are also more people who are WORRIED about what they eat.

Even though it is true that people used to consume much more organic foods, I also remember that they didn't have a diet, and believed that being healthy was eating "well" and fell into excess, but now I think that there is more knowledge about food and what is good to consume to maintain a balanced diet even found recipes that supplement some ingredients with healthier ones, or some restaurants are implementing healthier menus.

But also nowadays eating healthier is more overvalued having higher costs than fast food. Since people are concerned about good looks and avoid preventable noncommunicable diseases, they are increasingly interested in eating better

I think that today, people are consuming more junk food than IT was consumed before. People used to eat a lot of healthy food, such as vegetables, cereals such as corn, wheat and all of their meals included at least one of these. Then easier ways to cook food began to appear where it tasted more appetizing. Now people fry THEIR meals because it is the taste that most like, some people eat hamburger, pizza, sandwiches as everyday food. Now some people DOn't even walk to buy food, they ask for it through an app and that's it. Most people today have a sedentary life. People used to walk until THEY found the ingredients for cooking or just for buying food, and that makes people have a healthier life because by doing that they exercised. Although most people now do not have good eating habits, there are some others that do. For example in the country side there are too many people WHO eat vegetables, there are also a lot of vegetarians both in the city and the country side. When we see those people, we think they're rare or uniQUE because we are USED to our bad habits. I think that we should start improving our habits even though it's not easy, everyone should do it.

Today most people don’t change their eating habits despite having health problems, but that is wrong, since everyone should be aware of their body and follow a diet. Although it is not easy, since you must put a lot of EFFORT, in addition to following a diet or eating healthy, you must increase the sport in your life. It will always be difficult at first, BUT when you START a routine, your body gets used to it.

Nowadays it is seen, many people are obese because the bad diet that exists today influences too much, they go to the easiest and richest that is junk food, but that is wrong since it contains a lot of fat that makes you gain weight. Another thing that damages our health is Coca Cola, it is an addictive soft drink, but it is not good because it contains a lot of sugar and is harmful.

My advice to have good health is to be aware and look for the best options for our health, although it is not easy, but by MAKING IT A routine everything is possible

I think people ate better years ago. Although people know that healthy food is better for the body, many people do not eat this way because healthy food is more expensive. This is a big problem, although there are many reasons. First of all, many people, even though if they have money, do not have nutritional information. Many companies use ignorance to sell things as "healthy" though if it is not healthy. For example, because people know that fruit is healthy, they think that packaged juice is also healthy. Although a piece of fruit is not the same as a packaged juice. Many packaged products if they do not carry the label of "excess sugar" people buy the product as healthy. Another problem is that even though when people read the nutritional information, they don't know what the correct amount is for the body.

It is unlikely that people will maintain healthy eating habits unless they have access to fresh and nutritious food. Given the rise of fast food and processed food options, people often consume foods that are not good for their health. For instance, if healthy food options are not easily accessible, people end up making poor food choices. Furthermore, the high cost of healthy food options is a major barrier to healthy eating, especially for people from lower income backgrounds. However, many people are also becoming more aware of the importance of a healthy and balanced diet because of educational and promotional campaigns. If people are educated about the benefits of healthy foods, they are more likely to make healthy food choices. At the same time, cooking, eating, and sharing food should be valued more highly as a part of a positive food culture. Therefore, the government and other organizations must make efforts to promote and implement policies that support healthy eating habits.

In my OPINION, I think that people ARE eating less healthy food than before because we see we have a lot of unhealthy food, like the fried food, Sodas and more. These kind of meals there wasn´t before. In those times the meals LIKE fruits or meats FROM animals, weren´t genetically altered.

Here I´m going to put 3 points why the people are eating less unhealthy food than before.

Fast foods and processed foods: With the fast pace of life and the convenience they offer, many people opt for fast and processed foods, such as hamburgers, fries, pizzas, etc. These foods are often high in saturated fat, sugar, which can contribute to long-term health problems such as obesity,

Sugary Drinks: The consumption of sugary drinks, such as soft drinks, juices, and energy drinks, has been suspected in many countries. These drinks are high in calories and sugar, which can lead to weight gain, dental problems, and increased risk of chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes.

Snacks and sweet foods: Snacks and sweet foods, such as cookies, cakes, chocolates, and candies, are frequently consumed as snacks or desserts. These products are often high in refined sugars, saturated fats, and additives, which can negatively affect metabolic health and contribute to weight gain.
