Over the years, the government has educated society as to which foods are "good" and "bad." Healthy alternatives are available for citizens, but some people don't take the initiative to eat the foods that benefit them. Eating healthy or unhealthy is a personal choice and no one should ever be punished for eating the way that fits their needs. Although the government holds power, it's not a priority for them to monitor every person's daily diet. It's the citizens job to pick and choose what they want in their body to fulfill a nutritious diet. ]]> 2021-01-20 14:51:57 UTC https://padlet.com/echapman37/y5geixftvcxa26ml/wish/1106003484 https://padlet.com/echapman37/y5geixftvcxa26ml/wish/1106257740 I feel that even if the government stepped in no one would listen or care; and if they did they would have a problem with it. People like the idea of free will, the ability to choose their own path. I think it is always up to the individual to lead a healthy lifestyle because of that fact. People have to choose to want to get better, or eat healthier. If they don't they will be more miserable than before, since they are forced into it.]]> 2021-01-20 15:40:09 UTC https://padlet.com/echapman37/y5geixftvcxa26ml/wish/1106257740 https://padlet.com/echapman37/y5geixftvcxa26ml/wish/1106521299 Individuals should be responsible for their own diet. Most people are aware of what they eat and if it is good for them or not, it's their decision. Even if the government tried to step in they would only cause people to get angry. Everyone wants to be able to make choices for themselves, even if the choices they make are bad for them. If someone wants to eat healthier that's their choice to make and any change to people having that choice would cause an outrage among them.]]> 2021-01-20 16:30:02 UTC https://padlet.com/echapman37/y5geixftvcxa26ml/wish/1106521299 https://padlet.com/echapman37/y5geixftvcxa26ml/wish/1106573063 Individuals should be responsible for their diet choices. The government can not control everything individuals eat and if they tried to control it, everyone would be furious. There are healthy alternatives to almost all food, it's up to the individual to want to utilize those healthy alternatives. All individuals should know what they should and should not eat without someone having to tell them what is good and bad for them. The government has tried to help but in the end, a person's diet and eating habits is solely their own responsibility. ]]> 2021-01-20 16:40:02 UTC https://padlet.com/echapman37/y5geixftvcxa26ml/wish/1106573063 https://padlet.com/echapman37/y5geixftvcxa26ml/wish/1106601701 I believe individuals should be responsible for monitoring their own diet. Many people in the world today just grab food and eat it without knowing if there are any consequences or not. Even if the government tried to interfere with people's diets they won't listen and take it as a joke, because people want a sense of freedom and if the government monitors our diets that will take our freedom away even if it is bad for you. But the government has presented lists to the public eye of foods that are "good" or "bad" for you and that's put up to the person if they want to listen to it or not. In the end people should not be forced to be restricted of there diet even if it is not good for you people should be able to make that decision by themselves.]]> 2021-01-20 16:45:33 UTC https://padlet.com/echapman37/y5geixftvcxa26ml/wish/1106601701 https://padlet.com/echapman37/y5geixftvcxa26ml/wish/1106670144 Individuals should be responsible for their own diet. If the government stepped in and took control over people's eating habits, I do not think that people would listen. The government allows society to know what is healthy or unhealthy for them. However, it is an individuals choice to choose if they are going to eat good or bad. Although eating healthy is good for individuals, having the freedom of choosing what you want to eat allows people to enjoy their lives.]]> 2021-01-20 16:58:39 UTC https://padlet.com/echapman37/y5geixftvcxa26ml/wish/1106670144 22lmk0011 https://padlet.com/echapman37/y5geixftvcxa26ml/wish/1106676723 Individuals should be responsible for their own diet. The government has many resources online about what foods are healthy and what should be in a healthy diet. Those resources are available for anyone to access. If an individual chooses to ignore those resources that is their own responsibility.  Most people make the choice to eat unhealthy and many can change that choice if they had the willpower to change. The government could do more to promote health eating habits, but should not be responsible for every person's diet. If a person has the information and the willpower to change their diet they can and that is their responsibility to do so. ]]> 2021-01-20 16:59:56 UTC https://padlet.com/echapman37/y5geixftvcxa26ml/wish/1106676723 https://padlet.com/echapman37/y5geixftvcxa26ml/wish/1106818143 I personally believe that individuals should be responsible for their own diet. Just like anything else, the government can send recommendations and push out resources to have a healthy diet, but most people won't take the initiative to follow these. If the government would control people's diet more strictly, people would still not follow for the pure fact that someone is telling them what to do so they do the opposite. Also, the government has many more important problems they need to solve, so dealing with the diet plan for thousands of people should not be one of them. The government can push out many resources and recommendations for a better diet, but at the end of the day individuals need to be in charge of maintaining a well balanced diet.    ]]> 2021-01-20 17:27:40 UTC https://padlet.com/echapman37/y5geixftvcxa26ml/wish/1106818143 https://padlet.com/echapman37/y5geixftvcxa26ml/wish/1106951599 I believe that individuals are responsible for their own balanced diet. People should notice when they need to start losing weight. They can get help from doctors or help online but they need to be the ones to lose the weight. The government could promote healthy eating or explain what foods we should be eating to stay a healthy weight. The government may be able to do things to help but it should be the individuals responsibility to maintain a well balanced diet.]]> 2021-01-20 17:54:26 UTC https://padlet.com/echapman37/y5geixftvcxa26ml/wish/1106951599 22smp001 https://padlet.com/echapman37/y5geixftvcxa26ml/wish/1107046387 I believe that individuals should be responsible for their own diet. Even though the government has a lot of power, they should not tell people what they can and can't eat. Even if they had control over individuals diet, people still wouldn't follow it. It is a persons own choice on how they want to eat and live their life. With that being said, individuals would be responsible for knowing when to eat better and stay healthy. ]]> 2021-01-20 18:13:24 UTC https://padlet.com/echapman37/y5geixftvcxa26ml/wish/1107046387 https://padlet.com/echapman37/y5geixftvcxa26ml/wish/1107183348 Individuals should be responsible for their own diet. I think that it is someones responsibility to take care of themselves. A person who is overweight won't lose the weight until they truly want to put in the effort. If they aren't willing to put in the effort, the government will not make a difference. They will find a way to eat how they choose until they are willing to loose the weight. When they are ready, there will be healthy food waiting for them.]]> 2021-01-20 18:41:13 UTC https://padlet.com/echapman37/y5geixftvcxa26ml/wish/1107183348 https://padlet.com/echapman37/y5geixftvcxa26ml/wish/1117568622 The government should advocate for the positive effects of a balanced diet. However, it is ultimately up to the individual if they want to follow through with the diet. If the government tried to impose a mandate, there would still be people who do not follow the guidelines. This issue has become very prevalent with both the matter of masks and vaccines. No matter what the positive impacts are of the mandate. There will always be those who search for undesirable effects and act based on them and them alone.]]> 2021-01-23 22:20:52 UTC https://padlet.com/echapman37/y5geixftvcxa26ml/wish/1117568622
