HW . 11

               I tried to change my diet and become a vegetarian; it wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be. It’s something that I think that I could do maybe once a month eat any meat become vegetarian. For breakfast when I ate It or had time to I would eat fruit like strawberries or oranges and for lunch I would have pizza, a salad maybe, rice, beans, yogurt and whatever I didn’t have for lunch then I would have that for dinner. It was filling after trying It for a day or to but I noticed I ate allot of snacks In between and It felt different not eating meat every day; almost as If I went thru meat withdraw. I also tried tofu which I didn’t like even though it was suppose to taste like the regular food it was very different and something that would take allot of getting used to for me to eat it every day. I also took the chance at eating sushi It was good and would keep eating but It’s not that filling I noticed that even though right after I thought I was full but after about 30 minutes I felt hungry again or just when I saw more food I would all of a sudden feel hungry again.

               I also tried to change my families food shopping Instead of going to supermarkets go to local markets but Its more expensive and out of the way because we don’t have any In the area so that something that'll probe happen once In a while. After learning that they bleach beef and add ammonia to it that one meat product that I’m not eating anymore because ammonia is usually In cleaning products or hair dye products that you don’t eat. Plus companies plan on making beef at least 100% made out of ammonia, to me I think you might as well just drink bleach if you’re going to inject that much ammonia.

               My family has also tried to now eat all together at the table or at least all
Together on the couch even If it’s around the TV were still together and eating. We try to cook more and eat less take out but It’s not always possible because everyone Is always busy and when they get home don’t have time or feel like cooking. We also try to experiment with different things I decided that beef shouldn’t be eaten anymore or Tyson or Perdue chicken. At first when I said I wanted to stop eating beef I thought It would be a problem because we a lot of If that I noticed but It was easy to have the same foods but find a substitute for like for burgers Instead of beef have turkey which Is better as far as I know.

               I always had a concern about my food or where It came from but never felt the
Need to actually found out but now that I've found out all that I know it has
Changed my perception of how I eat and what I eat. I think that It has changed for the better because now I’m eating healthier which Is going to benefit me now and In the future and everyone should know no more a out where there food come from because I think they do but to some degree no one knows their meat Is bleached. One way that I think I could get others to then see what I see and know what I understand is to try and make a difference in my family and friends who will then tell their friends and so on. I can try and get people to stop eating as much fast food and go for local markets so that slowly over time everyone will stop and things will change like obesity rates. The way that people are eating know Is slowly lowering everyone’s death rate an average women probably could of lived to 100 now It’s probably 85 which Is 15 extra years you ruined because you wanted to take the cheap easy way by eating big Macs.
