A New Perspective On Food

Our country is one of the most developed and advanced in technology compared to many others around the world. As I come to think about the food we consume, I have began to see how much processed food we eat and continue to make. While doing this research project I found out more about what are in the foods we are putting into our bodies. I find it so interesting that many junk foods are sold at such low prices, while vegetables and fruits cost a little bit more. With low prices on foods that aren't so healthy, people will begin to choose the one with a better deal. But if I were to go back to 4 years ago with this knowledge, I would most likely be eating way more healthier than I am right now. If I had learned anything, it would be that if you want to eat healthy food that you feel is safe, it is better that you grow your own food for your own well being. Personally for me right now I am trying to sustain from drinking soda as I feel it isn't so healthy for me and I want to get into the habit of healthier eating again. I think that this project has also shaped me into always checking the food labels to see what are in them when I go to the grocery store. In conclusion everyone should be able to appreciate and consider the healthy choices foods that we can grow in our own backyard.
