Food Planet assignment

    

 I would like to introduce this family from America to you all.

    This is a picture of Revis family. The family members are Rosemary, Ron, who is her husband, Brandon and Tyron, her teenage children. Rosemary works as a consumer protection specialist for the North Carolina Department of Justice. 

    She had such a busy schedule and was constantly nibbling at something that she became 30 pounds overweight. Therefore, she asked Weight Watchers for help and temporarily lost weight, only to gain it back in just 6 months. She could not maintain a healthy diet and went back to her old eating habits. 

    Besides Rosemary, her two sons, Brandon and Tyrone, were also suffering from obesity and bad eating habits. Particularly, Tyrone was a picky eater, so his grandmother had to move in and cook meals for the children. As a result, he became less of a picky eater, however he had grown up to eat a lot of snacks and fast food. 

        When Rosemary joined a health club, the whole family joined together and tried working out. However, since they became even busier, they had less time to cook for themselves and ended up eating fast food more often than before they joined the health club. Now, they have left the health club and instead, they use exercise equipment to work out at home, so that they will have time to cook healthy meals for themselves.

    This is what they consume in a week.

    What I found in common with them is that my family also sometimes rely on restaurants, fast food or pre-cooked meals. My mother and I even once joined an exercise club together, but just like Rosemary’s family, we found it hard to make time for other things, especially with our work and school.
