Fiber-rich foods, green leafy vegetables, fruits and water, which the body needs to fight certain diseases such as the growing nationwide obesity epidemic , hypertension and diabetes and cancer have been eliminated. However, they have been replaced with ultra-sweet and unhealthy carbohydrates, fatty and salty products that will spark people's desire to buy foods that look and taste good but are actually unhealthy. This is where President Obama must play an important role by enacting laws that ensure that every individual has access to healthier, affordable food. Such laws will not only regulate the food industries for the people of today, but will also save the next generation from the downward spiral of having health problems caused by chemically processed products.
