For my argument of fact, I wrote about something different but for my proposal I decided to write about obesity and the ways we could help solve it.
My first idea to help with this epidemic is to make the healthy food at Fast Food chains like salad, yogurt, etc, cheaper. The pros are that people will not worry about it being too expensive and will not be able to use that as an excuse to why they "got the 99 cent burger because it was cheaper". But the con would simply be the establishments would maybe not make as much money. The only people I think would oppose to this is the business owners.
The second proposal is to ban the high-fat/high-sugar advertisements to kids like Australia is trying to do. This would obviously be a pro because children and adults would see less of those ads and get less cravings like we do. It would help with those late night fast food runs because "I really wanted a frosty". A con, again, would be that because the food is advertised less, it could effect the business. People may oppose just because the ads make different businesses money and taking that away could effect their profit margin.
The third idea, which is a very helpful one, is to pass a law that requires food places to display the nutritional facts on the menu. This way, everyone is aware of what they are eating and how much calories they are taking in. That is a pro because I truly think that people just do not realize how bad things are for them sometimes, so now they can be knowledgeable. The con is that the business may not sale as much of the item because people see that a lot of the food has a ridiculous amount of fat in it. So the individual food places, like Taco Bell, may not want that.
