Being a multi sport athlete in high school and college has been very time consuming and many times leaves me in a rush. Going from practice to practice or from class to practice or even vice versa, has led to a change in my eating habits big time. Having little time has led to an increase in me eating fast food meals much more often and frequently. In society eating fast food is considered to be lazy, cheap and unhealthy. It has also become a societal norm to idolize those with very skinny figures and those who don’t indulge on fast food meals often or at all. This societal norm has led to me not eating fast food sometimes when I needed to eat anything. I felt self-conscious always being seen eating this and that’s why I have refrained from doing it at times.

One major societal issue in today’s day in age is obesity. Obesity is a result of either the unhealthy lifestyle of people due to many different things or as a result of genetic predisposition. Obesity is also caused by a plethora of food being in the presence of people. Without healthy physical fitness activities and intelligent nutritional decisions it is almost impossible to maintain a healthy lifestyle. This issue of obesity can stem from food choice as well just due to unhealthy eating. I believe that the social norm on this subject is very tricky and is a difficult issue to attack. To start I don’t think there is a perfect lifestyle to live based off of food or fitness. I think they’re are many combinations and varieties that will work. In terms of a social norm I think there shouldn’t be an ideal body type that people are expected to look like because everyone has a different biological makeup that prohibits them from looking certain ways.
