Modest Proposal: Lack of Healthy Food

Disclaimer: One of the biggest problems that our class has discussed is the lack of healthy food. We were challenged to write in the style of Johnathan Swift's Modest Proposal on one of the problems identified. This is a satire!

We know that the increase of these fast food places has helped to increase the lack of the healthy food that people will eat. So many people will pick more of the fast food because it is cheaper. Also this lack of healthy food will help to cause the people who do not eat healthy will become obese. Well I propose a way to fix this is to increase the price of these fast food options because this will then help us to push the people to start to eat healthier. If we rase the price of a McDonalds cheese burger to 12 dollars then this will help people to go out and buy healthier food. Or if we make the dollar menu at McDonalds, Burger King, Taco Bell etc. a 10 dollar meal and jack the prices up from there then it will cause all the healthy food to be eaten. I know so many people in America and around the world love fast food, I mean it is right there all the time. But if we raise the prices in the Fast Food industry then we will be able to eliminate fast food places all together.
Yes this will kill millions of jobs, but now it will force those people to go out and get jobs. If they refuse to get jobs then we can take away all benefits, and by all benefits I really do mean ALL of them. This will force them to get jobs or a college degree. Ultimately raising the price of food in the Fast Food industry will help us to get rid of all of the people that are too lazy to do anything with their life. This will reduce the population size significantly! I mean we are running out of space on the earth aren't we? This means that we will have enough resources again and we will no longer be abusing our earth. Also with obesity on the rise this will help slim our country down. So what if you love cheeseburgers, maybe in the end we will tax all fatty foods just so the country can get skinny. If there are those that do not want to give up the fast food and will continue to pay the prices they will eventually run out of money and resources and die. This will also help to make our population smaller so that we can take care of our earth.

This was really hard to write, I felt like I was being very mean.
