Knowledge

Knowledge can be attained through an infinate amount of resources.  It is the very thing that enables us to perform tasks, and disallows us to accomplish them when absent.  A popular saying states that knowledge gives us power.  This is very true since the more we know, the more we can see and accomplish.  On the other hand, ignorance is something that haunts many of us.  It blind folds us of the truth and restrains our ability to prosper.  This is a product of the absence of knowledge.  You can acquire knowledge by picketting through the most barren depths and trenches, or even just by simply observing something as puny as an ant.  It is vital that people have a hunger for absorbing knowledge to better themselves and the atmosphere that they relay to their associates.  "Knowledge pries open one's eyes.  Ignorance only permits one's view to the back of their eyelids."

Malnutrition

78.6 million american adults are haunted by obesity.  This disturbing fact is caused by several different factors that include lack of education, poverty, and media.  It is vital that this disease gradually inches it's way to extinction for the wellfare and health of the generations to come.  Nutritional education must be prioritized and exposed to students and parents in order to enlighten obesity's current or eventual subjects.  Most people are not aware of the necessity of the consumption of essential vitamins and nutrients which affects the physical and mental development of the human body.  People are also not precarious of the harmful affects generated from the consumption of unhealthy foods.  The emphasis of these factors must be practiced.  Poverty is also a very major suspect when disecting this issue.  The clenches of poverty have been grasping people ever since the initial formulation of civilization.  In modern society, nutritious food is often very expenive in comparison to junk and fast foods.  It is easier and cheaper to order five items from the McDonald's dollar menu than to purchase ingredients to prepare a fresh hot meal at home. This predicament is often viewed upon as one that can only be tackled politically. Although there is a solution applicable to some instances that retraces back to the first topic involving education.  If more people are educated and have an abundance of occupation opportinities in their grasps, then they will flourish financially enabling them to consistantly posses quality foods for themselves and their family.  The last antagonist of this plague is the media.  Everywhere we go we are constantly exposed to advertisments that influence and convey the weak minded to purchase their product.  Unfortunately, unhealthy food is notorious for occupying this luxury.  Companies constantly brainwash society with shallow, yet affective, propaganda. In order to be immune from these entrapments, one must develop a very strong mindset that disallows these tactics to impact and penetrate their perspectives. Obesity is evidently one of society's most dreadful illness but can be cured with education, economic strength, and mental superiority.
