In Mark Bittman’s video it had a lot of information, which I mostly agreed with. He expresses that the way we eat, affects conditions of our health, and the quality and duration our lives.
I was shocked to see the information about greenhouse gases, and what pollution is generated from livestock production; it is more than gas used for transportation. These livestock gases are the initiators for pollution on our planet. It was very interesting, and humorous at the same time. It was also very interesting to hear about the evaluation of food, and how it has changed during the years.
Jamie Oliver had a nice presentation. It surprised by the statistical facts that more people died from diet related diseases, than from murder or homicide. It was sad to see pictures of children who are obese, and they can’t live longer, because they will die from their obesity. Another thing that seemed unrealistic, was to hear the children in elementary school in England
I agree with Jamie Oliver and in what he wants to do to change the way America
I really liked the Ann Coopers video, it was very interesting to listen to her, and how enthusiastically, she’s fighting for healthy eating for kids; and the health of the future generations. It was really sad to hear that more money is being spent on prisoners, than in feeding a child. I was also saddened by the information that if parents and society do not change the eating habits of the children today, the new generation of children will die before the parents. I really like what she is doing for the kids by opening cooking classes to teach them how to cook, and make the right decisions in their food choices.
All three lecturers had very solid arguments and all were very passionate in relaying their messages. But as Jamie Oliver said, these solutions are "easier said than done." I say let's take it one step at a time.
ReplyDeleteI think that we can all change the way we live if we make better decissions, and I was as shocked as you after watching these videos. I would have never known the dangers of fast food, and unhealthy procautions.
ReplyDeleteHi Ruzanna! I just want to let you know how much I enjoyed reading your entries here on your blogspot. I have experienced your rich culture through your words. Having worked with Russians and Armenians for almost 20 years, I was able to identify with some of your experiences. I especially liked your first entry because you remind me so much of Russian lady I worked with who was a pharmacist for 15+ years in Moscow. When she came to the US, she struggled to adjust to her new country but she persevered. After many years of trying, she finally passed all the exams and is now a pharmacist at a Rite-Aid in West Hollywood.
ReplyDeleteI wish you all the best... thank you for sharing.
All the videos were filled with great information.
ReplyDeleteIt does make a lot of sense to actually have someone who is educated in food to be selling food.
