Chapter 4: Dollar Menu

         Should access to healthy food be a right for everyone? Yes, this should be a right everyone should have access to, but not everybody does. The reasons why we should have this right is so people can grow into a healthier lifestyle, so they can just have the opportunity, and to make themselves feel better.
          First of all, having access to healthy food might help people start to develop a healthier diet. Having the access to healthier options is all some need to get the motivation to try and better themselves and improve their eating habits. By having the choice of  having healthy food available many would prefer to try and eat the healthy food rather than the junk food. Some say that people should not have the right to access healthy food because they do not need it and people who do not have access to this right do not seem to act like anything is missing, yet if they have never had the right to healthy food then how would they know how having it would make them feel. Having access to better food would make people feel better. This is because by being given the free access to better protein and veggie sources they will finally be able to enjoy how eating differently(healthier) will make them feel. I know when I eat healthy I always feel better about myself afterwards, even if i didn’t necessarily want to. Ever since I started improving my diet I have been feeling more energetic and less exhausted.
        In conclusion, everyone should have the right to access healthy food. This is because with having the ability to access healthy produce options people can grow into a healthier lifestyle. People also would like to just have the opportunity to choose if they want to eat healthy or not. Lastly eating healthy makes people feel better about themselves and raise their self-esteem.
