How to generate awareness in society and the Costa Rican education system from the conclusions of the documentary: "Super Size Me"?
Abstract
Nowadays humans are immersed in academic, social and passive leisure activities that leave little room for physical recreation and workout. Unfortunately, worldwide society has gone from a homemade cooking model to a pre-cooked food or/and fast food. To illustrate this phenomenon, the documentary “Super-Size Me” depicts the main protagonist as an individual who conducts a socio-food experiment of the American food culture based on fast food and puts on the table one of the most serious health problems in the United States: obesity. In contrast, Costa Rica is recognized as an international level for a climate of peace, a country without no army and its exuberant nature with its hundreds of hectares protected. However, obesity rates are increasing, which has led to the emergence of efforts by the Costa Rican government to address this epidemic from classrooms and school cafeterias.
