Blog: 9
What I’ve Learned from My
To be honest with you when I first started this class and it was spoken that we had to start a blog I wasn’t to excited about doing it. I really didn’t even know what a blog was really for. Yet the experience was an eye opener. The blog choice I pick was to record what I ate for three days and trace the origins of the foods, which turned out to be a very different experience then what I had in mind. It gave me a chance to look at the food I was putting in my body and what it was made out of.
As for what I learned from this whole project and even the class was a lot, about the environment and even the way I think. Before I entered this class my mind wasn’t thinking in an environmental way as I should have been. The movie the inconvenient truth by Al Gore really hit me in a big way. That all the pollution we are putting into the environment is really damaging the world we live in fast. That global warming is happening and it’s not just something that we think might happen, there is physical evidence, that’s why we really have to put in effort into salvaging the rest of our Earth that we can. Al Gore’s message is simple yet hard, these means to change our lifestyle a little but you know what that not to much to ask for seeing it as we are the ones that cause this in the first place.
The blog we created in class shows that we are taking notice to what is going on in our everyday worlds. Whether it is the food we are consuming, or the garbage make from that food, and even where the food come from. I know for myself after reading some of the ingredients on the label and even which it come from I don’t want to eat that product any more. I really feel that you, Doctor Smith, made us do this project to open our eyes even if it was just a little. The fact of the matter is that you went paperless and really stuck to your going green theme that you were teaching us without really telling us. Good job Doc. And I’ve heard the saying if you can teach a whole class and only open one of your students eye then it’s one less mind untaught or something like that (I really can’t remember how it was originally worded sorry). You don’t have to worry Doc you not only taught me, but helped me see clearer about this world and what must be done to save it. Thanx

Blog 8: No one commented on my favorite meal which was the Outback meal but I had others comment on my grandmother home cooked meal. Samatha commented on how she enjoyed the same food as me such was yogurt and stuffed shells. Other comments weren’t on the same page as I was such as DOCTOR Smith. He didn’t agree with me on the fact that I like me steak well done (burn). Well Doc I like to know my meat is dead. The health issues I want to look at are not once did I put fast food on my list because I don’t eat fastfood anymore and I bet a lot of people have it on their blogs. I think people need to eat home cooked meals more and if you most every once in a while eat the garbage. But it’s smarter, healthier, and more environmental friendly to eat home cooked meal. Your probably thinking how is it environmental friendly well did you even look at the top of those fast food restaurant all the garbage their throwing in the air not to mention making the nation obese. When you cook at home you know what your putting in your mouth half the times in most restaurants you have no clue. Over all, all the blog I looked at I can relate to the bloggers in what they eat and others I can’t. That just what comes with the territory. Catch your on the flip side.

Blog 7: Sunday is the last day I recorded food. I had egg and cheese on a roll. The egg came from a chicken but no just kidding but seriously. It came from egglands eggs. The cheese was landlakes American cheese. Then I had stuffed shells, salad, Baked potato, and corn. The stuffed shell (made by my grandma) pasta thing came in a plastic box that had the shell pieces. The cheese was placed in by my grandma and so was the sauce. In the sauce is tomatoes, salt, pepper, and secret spices that I’m not allowed to tell. The corn came from green giant and it was sweet corn. The turkey in the turkey sandwich came from land-o-lakes and so was the American cheese as well. The kitkat was heresy. Thanx for stopping by c u next time

Blog 6: Saturday my first meal started with orzo and chickpeas. The orzo came in a plastic wrapping and it was written in Greek (sorry I’m not greek and don’t know what it said) but I do know orzo is made from wheat origin. The chickpeas came in a can and were goya. Which chickpeas are a form of bean and or veggie. The yogurts are always Dannon blueberry and that made old milk that get processed so that the bad bacteria is gone and all you have is the good bacteria that is good for your immune system. I not going to explain the meal I had at Outback Steakhouse because I did already to other times. The cherry Italian ice was a Marino’s Ice and is basically a frozen sugar ball. But seriously it is a big thing of sugar. And that is it for Saturday, I know it pretty short but if i did already explain the Outback it most definitely been longer. c u soon to hear about Sunday
