| The perspective I chose for this topic is Ethical egoism which means something that promotes what I want, or prevents me from reaching my goals, is regarded as wrong. Everyone should be afforded the opportunity to have a choice on what foods to eat. When you constantly put something in a person’s face they tend to fold and accept the outcome. This is my issue with the poor food resources in low-income neighborhoods throughout the United States of America. Many of those who never dealt with these conditions are the preventive group of people that makes this issue tougher to discuss. Many understand the issues and just don’t care because they do not know how it feels to live in those conditions. If you go into a low-income neighborhood, you may find the resources in these communities to be very unhealthy and troubling for the residents. There’s a fast-food restaurant down the street, corner stores that sell foods and snacks that are unhealthy. People in these communities see nothing wrong with this because it’s their reality. “For millions of Americans—especially people living in low-income communities of color— finding a fresh apple is not so easy. Full-service grocery stores, farmers’ markets, and other vendors that sell fresh fruits, vegetables, and other healthy foods cannot be found in their neighborhoods” For the citizens who have limited resources to eat healthy it needs to be a program in place that offers classes on healthy. This class should also explain the benefits on eating healthy and the health concerns that he/she may face by eating unhealthy foods. Most people don’t live as they should because of poor food choices.
