| You are what you eat |
When I was 7 years old, my father had an ulcers surgery and after
that he become very picky with what we buy at the grocery store. Since my mom enjoys
cooking, I grew up eating homemade food or fresh food. I never saw my mom using
any type of frozen vegetables, for instance. Because of that, today I try to be
really careful with what I buy and where I eat.

| Mexican Food |
However, I do it fast food and
processed food every once in a while. I love eating Mexican food so at least
once a month I have Taco Bell or Taco Johns, and I eat processed food when I
don't have time to make something to bring to school with me or when I have to
grab something quickly. But organic food does matter to me! When it is about
doing grocery store, I tend to by organic food such as milk, vegetables and
fruits.
If an organic food is better than
conventional, it will depend on what I am eating. For example, I believe that
any fruit, meat or vegetables are better organic than conventional. Since organic
food is any food that is free of synthetic substances or antibiotics and
hormones, has not been irradiated or fertilized with sewage sludge, free of conventional
pesticides and free of modified ingredients.
However, on the reading Eating
Food That's Better for You, Organic or Not, Mark Bittman gives an example
that “some people feel better to eat an organic Oreo than a
I think eating organic food is waaay better than conventional food! but these days is hard to believe that what we are eating is organic eventhough it says it is organic anyway same as you I don't eat fast food that much i rather eat homemade food becuase it is so much healthier and it doesn't have too much fats! Also I love your pics I think I look more like the girl in the left side haha xD
ReplyDeleteyour blog look nice I the fact that you talk about your ulcers surgery.I also like the picture.
ReplyDeleteHi Glenda,
ReplyDeleteYour page is easy to understand that if people consume all the time on processed food what their health going to be in the future. I also agree with what you write on the page that "organic food is better than conventional food" is depends on the person how they utilize the food choices. That's true, if someone eat all the time organic packet food and drinks organic beverages, is not a healthy food but it is still organic. Most people think that "organic"food brings better healthy than conventional. However, it has a better taste and logically better nutritient than conventional, but as you mentioned all it's depends on the person how they shope, how they eat and how they use the products.
Hi Glenda. I like your writing. My mom also tries to cook with fresh ingredients. That makes me to choose good food such as vegetables and fruits when i go to grocery shop. I also agree with your opinion that organic meat is better than conventional food. However,i think if we wash fruits and vegetable properly, they are not that different with organic food. You wrote your opinions in detail so it is easy to understand. I saw you eating fruits a lot so i can be sure that you are healthy :)
ReplyDeleteNice job!! I think organic is good for people, but there is a problem poor people can't afford to buy organic food because of how expensive it is so they buy conventional food.
