Sahra Siide
My eating habits are I eat almost the same food every day. I don’t usually eat breakfast but I eat lunch for sure so I can get energy for the day. I don’t think it matter to me whether I eat healthy or not. I eat whatever my mom or I cook at home. I never ever eat vegetables because I hate them. I’m so glad that no one ever forced me to eat vegetables however, I like eating fruits and sweets. I can eat them all day long especially chocolates. In that case, my mom tells to stop eating a lot of sweet until the vegetables where no one tells to eat them or not. We don’t stay home at the weekends so we eat fast food. We don’t get enough time to cook at home in the weekends and eating fast food saves time for us. We shop for food at ALDI or even sometimes we go to Cup Foods. Whether it’s organic food or not, it doesn’t matter to me because I eat at home and it doesn’t matter what I eat what kind of food it’s as long as I am eating at home. I also think it would matter the kind of food I eat as long as I’m not eating too much of it. Nothing or any food I eat changes what I do or eat but I want to be a healthy eater. I don’t feel any problems or reduce any problems to my body. Also I am not I a healthy eater always but I do realize a lot from watching the videos in class and from the readings too.

Is the food we eat healthy and safe? Not everything we eat is healthy and safe especially fast food or junk food. In the reading of “The unhealthy Meat Market”, by Nicholas D. Kristof says, “Antibiotics are routinely fed to animals and birds to help them grow quickly in crowded, dirty conditions. This can lead to antibiotic resistant infections.” Basically this quote explains that the people gave antibiotics to make the animals grow faster but at the same time they are in bad conditions. It can also cause infections not only to the animals but also us because we are eating the meat from the animals.
