For my I-Search paper I will write about money in America. I picked this topic because I find it very interesting how some people value money so much. I will be talking about how money controls the decisions that are made by the people today and the struggles that some people go through just to keep money in their pockets. The cost of living in America is getting higher and higher and pushing more people to live in bad conditions. Some families can not afford to pay the bills. The one most important thing is humans health. Some peoples health is getting worst because of the expense of food and also the cost of medicine. People are forced everyday to make the decision between healthy food or fast food and the food that is chosen more is the fast food . Now one reason one would pick fast food over healthy food is because it is more convenient and inexpensive. For example "Most people today have less time to select, prepare and eat food than their grandparents did. Fast foods are very appealing because they are widely available and inexpensive." (NYTimes.com) In this quote it also states that people don't have enough time to prepare a home cooked meal making fast food more convenient. The thing with fast food is that some of it is pasteurized food. What pasteurized food is the food that is grown using chemicals and pesticides to help it grow bigger and faster. Also another reason why people eat fast food more often is because health food is harder to find. Now on to the medicine, medicine to help you with an illness cost you and arm and a leg and sometimes with medicine you have to take multiple pills one for one thing and other for the other thing. Its like when one thing is messed up and you start taking medicine for that thing then another thing is messed up and you have to start taking medicine for the other thing its an on going cycle.
