At school, students already have to worry about studying and getting to class on time.

Would worrying about the healthy choices of food being sold at school really be a big subject to be worrying about?

According to a survey taken by the Centers for Disease Control and prevention in 2007-08, 34 percent of Americans over the age of 20 are obese, and 34 percent are overweight, but the problem doesn’t necessarily lie in what exactly people eat, but how much of it they eat in proportion to how much exercise they get.

People would rather go to the food court and order a Volcano Burrito at Taco Bell or a few tater tots at Frantone’s rather than ordering the healthier sushi meal or chicken bowl at Oh No Tokyo because it’s more filling and more affordable.

Some may say that the Taco Bells and the pizza places don’t have any nutritional value to it, but they are wrong.

According to the Taco Bell website, one 99 cent soft taco is 210 calories. Though it’s small, it is packed with some lettuce and some meat that you would need to go through the day.

With Frantone’s, a three dollar slice of cheese pizza has about 272 calories. Though the pizza may have around 10 grams of fat, it’s still packed with protein for those who may be working out.

There are still some people out there who may be saying that people won’t just eat one slice of pizza, or order more than just a taco, and the calories will build up.

At the same time, as long as people get the right amount of exercise, the amount of food they eat wouldn’t matter.

Dietsinreview.com states Olympic gold medalist swimmer Michael Phelps’ diet consists of 10,000-12,000 calories a day. Those calories consist of fried egg sandwiches, pizzas, and pastas.

The reason why Phelps can afford to eat all these foods and still be one of the best swimmers in history is exactly that; he swims for a living.

As stated earlier, as long as you get enough exercise enough to use up all that you ate, it doesn’t matter what you eat.
