A controversial topic in America is that junk food is very cheap to buy so many poor families live on junk food and become obese, whereas more wealthy families are able to afford healthy fruits and good meats. Of course, our entire country is becoming very fat and our addiction to sugar and corn syrup are mostly to blame.

Hi, guys.
Could you please help me with four little questions?
1) Do you say health status/condition? "There was an improvement in his health status(state, condition)??Answer: In the United States we use "condition" as in: "There was an improvement in his condition" or "His condition improved".
2) Do you say "from + name of a brand"? "I have a shirt from Ralph Lauren." "My perfume is from Hugo Boss" "My phone is from Apple." If not, what could I say instead?Answer: I would probably just say: "I have an Apple iphone" or "I own a Ralph Lauren shirt". But the sentences you wrote work too.
3) Can i say "Brazil is a agricultral country" or "Brazil has a agriculturally-based economy"? Does either work?Answer: I would use your second example because it is more clear. Both sentences make sense, but I just feel that the second sentence sounds more professional. Just remember to use "an" before the word "agriculturally" because that word (agriculturally) begins with a vowel. (The vowels are: a, e, i, o, u. So you will need to say "an agriculturally-based").
4) One last rhing: On twitter, someone posted this
ok thinkin bout maybe doin lookbooks on my channel cuz i'm no help on the makeup front cause i do my makeup the same everyday
What does "makeup front" mean? Could you guve me other examples of front used that way?Answer: Wow! That sentence is full of slang! When used this way, "front" just means something like "talking about makeup" or "concerning makeup". You could say: "On the boyfriend front, I still am not dating any cute boys". Or you could say: "I can't really help you on the money front because I don't have any money right now!"
Thank you very much0 votedMarch 23, 20173- In the United States, "wraps up" means to bring to an end, to a conclusion. I think what you are looking for is the word "includes" such as: Botero includes two cultural social stigmas in his works: obesity and deformity. You could also say: Botero incorporates two cultural social stigmas in his works: obesity and deformity.0 votedMarch 23, 20170
New vocabulary

I'll appreciate if you check them.
(1)
My bangs flips out every morning, and that really gets my nerve.
I need to curl my hair to proper direction everyday which consumes my precious sleeping time.In the United States we would say:
My bangs stick out every morning, and that really gets on my nerves.
I need to curl my hair properly every day which consumes my precious sleeping time.
