Abstract

We tend to think very little about what we are putting into our bodies aside from how accessible, delicious, and cheap it is. While health consist of many aspects such as mental and social, the food we fuel our bodies with plays a large role in overall health and wellbeing. Understanding the purchase and consumption patterns of food types (fast food, restaurant food, fresh produce etc.) allows for a better assessment of Americans’ relationship with our food. Not eating the food that our bodies need for fuel can result in a number of health problems, including obesity. With the presentation of this information we hope to inspire the accessibility of healthier food choices, and increase desire for healthier options. We also hope that with this change, the United States and the rest of the world will see the need to change and be inspired to stay healthy throughout their lives.
