Ok, so I know that most of you have already commented on my post, but I honestly didn't put a lot of time into it, so I am going to fix it. I didn't have my computer for the past week, because it had a virus on it, so I completely forgot that this was due and didn't realize it til' Sunday. I freaked out and hurried up and wrote something lol! UGH..what a struggle!
Week 5
We had to do another eye opener called CSPI. It showed us how the amount of certain foods that we eat effect the environment. My intake of meat definitely was bad! I was really shocked to see my results, because I didn't think I was really that bad. I have since been looking into some other options so I still get my protein and other nutriets from meat without actually having to eat them as often.
We also go to watch the documentary, "Diet for a New America." I admit there were parts in this movie that kind of grossed me out! One of the things that really stood out to me in this documentary were that they would put a bunch of animals in very small areas so that they couldn't move very much, which would then allow the meat to stay more tender! SO SAD!
Week 6
In this week we watched a Documentary titled, "The Future of Food." I found this documentary very interesting. I can't believe that we eat HMO foods and don't know we are eating them because they aren't labeled! Also it made me very mad that Monsanto is suing 9,000 small farming businesses for "stealing" their seeds. I think that Monsanto should be responsible for watching where their seeds float off to! It kind of scared me too, to think that our food supply could be in danger because off all the big corporations that are trying to "own" certain seeds and types of food!
We also were assigned individual readings. I really really liked my reading. It was really interesting to me! It was fun to read everyone elses posts on their readings too. Some of them made me want to go and read their whole article as well! Everyone did a really great job on this assignment!
My Thoughts
I can't believe that these 2 weeks are over already!! It is crazy, our semester is almost half over! I feel like I have already learned so much! It also seems that everyone has the hang of blogging now, which is good. Personally, I really enjoy blogging in my free time. (Kinda nerdy haha) I can't wait to see what is in store for us the next 2 weeks! Keep up all the great posts!!:)

I was also inspired to eat more organic foods as well as products from local farmers. I had no idea that GM foods even existed, and it's sad to know we don't know which foods are genetically modified. Overall, good summary Kaileigh!

ReplyDeleteI think that we all learned how eating organically is better for us but will we all make the change? With groceries as expensive as they are, organic tends to be a little more spendy. Hopefully we can all balance out and use variety in our diets!
Hey Kail!
ReplyDeleteYes, I think everyones reading reviews were pretty interesting as well.
I like how outside of class, we still talk about the topics discussed in the class like how we both said when we are pregnant, we want to eat organically...100%! haha
I like it!

Kaileigh: I definitely want to start eating more organically, or at least more locally. All of this hubbub about food lately, makes me want to really change my eating habits for the better!
ReplyDeleteGood summary!

Heya Kaileigh! Great summary! Short and sweet. Yah the movie does definitely make us want to eat more organic. The other day at the grocery store I found myself looking for organic food! Have a good one!
