Discussion 2 Food and Hunger
6 6 unread replies. 6 6 replies.
You had two web assignments related to food and hunger (Jamie Oliver and Hidden Brain): There is a big concern about childhood (and adult) obesity in this country. But this extreme increase happened in our recent history (past 30 years) so we cant just blame it on evolution (or can we?). So, Id like you to discuss some or all of the following questions:
What has changed in the past 30 years to cause this big increase in obesity rates?
Can these changes be understood regarding changes in motivation and persuasion such as advertisements? Can you give specific examples regarding the psychology of motivation?
From a psychologists point of view, what can be done about changing these behaviors?
Should laws be enacted or taxes created to help to regulate and curve certain eating habits? For example, a tax on high fructose sodas or fast food, restricting super-size drinks like in New York, stricter regulations on food in school, outlawing toys in high-fat kids meals at fast-food restaurants, etc.
