What do we need to do to encourage less fast foods and more fruits and vegetables? I believe if you grow up eating fruits and vegetables in your home and only eat out once in a while you will like to eat fruits and vegetables more than going out to eat. Have fruit trees in your yard or grow a garden couldn't hurt but if you don't have either of those you could just buy fruits and vegetables to have in your house. If you don't eat fruits and vegetables while you are young you’re not going to eat them when you grow up so its important to have healthy food in the house for your kids. Also to encourage healthier foods fast food places could start having fruits and vegetables as one of their options. Advertising could also help encourage healthier food choice. Commercials could target children to make fruits and vegetables more attractive so they will want to eat them. And finally education can have fruits and vegetables for an option for breakfast and lunch. Education could also help students learn the importance of fruits and vegetables and teach them at a young age the importance of eating healthy.
