Entry #9 Food Poison

 Hello everyone how are we doing. Another day and another blog. Today, I want to take you

with me for a thought about a topic that I’ve been thinking about more in the last few years as I

feel like it relates so much to my health as I grow older and I think your decisions really can

have a long-term impact on your overall well- being especially when it’s something that’s an

essential part of our lives that we can’t live without, but interestingly enough it gets ignored

sometimes when it comes to thinking about how to approach it. As a college student, it gets

hard sometimes to stay on top of everything and being efficient in what you do or not taking

shortcuts, and food is one of the things that needs planning to make sure what you’re getting in

your system is healthy enough and this is where the challenge is as there is always easier

options where it wouldn’t take that much time and effort to buy fast food from almost any spot

at any time, but knowing what you’re eating isn’t healthy is what makes me think twice.

I’m a person who’s been raised on eating traditional homemade food, but after my parents

left, it became hard to me to maintain that way of making food at home so I would be in

situations where I’m rushing and got assignments due and that wouldn’t let me have that much

time to make food, so I would end up buying food from outside knowing that another negative

factor of it is the expense as it would keep adding up every time I buy food and end up realizing

that it’s financially not that smart to still do it. I always have questions about where was this

food processed? How was it kept till it got here? Were the animals fed correctly? Were there

any chemical injections that were part of the food in a way or another? All these questions that

are growing bigger and bigger as the whole industry is changing from times where most of the

things we eat were fully organic without being chemically treated and things were way simpler

back then, but now the business side of it is impacting the concept that we used to believe in

where speed and money is more favored than quality. Continuing on this path can really be

effective on future generations.

What’s difficult about the situation is that there are organic options that became rare

nowadays when it was the opposite back then, but the issue is the expensive prices that

doesn’t make it easier for the consumer that cares enough about the topic. Lacking enough

interest from the public can be a reason to where we reached nowadays and the lifestyle that

forces you to not have enough to consider your options and actually making change is what

would make it hard and would need a lot of effort to change the situation where we’re in to at

least not have our future generations get into the same loop that would be hard to get out of.
