Why do small businesses fight Jamie's ideas?
Small businesses are hesitant to convert to Jamie's ways because they are costly and risky. They have to be able to sustain their business to provide for their family, because they cannot absorb losses like bigger businesses can. It is risky too because their costumers prefer lower cost to high quality.
Why does the school district fight Jamie's ideas?
The school district denied Jamie access to their schools because they didn't want to nationally broadcast all the unhealthy food they serve the children. I feel they are aware that they know the food they feed children daily is not sustainable, and any interference in the issue is stopped at all costs due to the damage that would be done to their wallets if they had to convert to "real" food.
What would people opposed to Jamie's ideas argue?
The only people I can imagine against Jamie's ideas would be absolute lunatics, small business owners who solely depend on their business, and fat cats. They would pull the monetary card, and claim it is not efficient and it is not economically pleasing.
What would people for Jamie's ideas argue?
Just look at all the diseases in American society directly and indirectly related to our dietary ways and the list would be endless. Number one, obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes and so much more.
They would also argue that this new generation's health is deteriorating as we sit back and watch it with indifference. It is scientifically proven as well that it is not sustainable for Americans to continue to live the way we are living.
How does this TV show accurately reflect issues about food in society today?
I feel as though it doesn't confront every issue faced with food in our society, but it does a great job relfecting the key issues in our society. The LA parents were shocked when they saw how much sugar is pumped into their children weekly; and children were disgusted when they saw the real ingredients to highly commercialized items in their sundaes.
