The first video that I watched from Mark Bittman, I learned how much better our food was, about locally grown food and how food use to be healthier about a century ago. Also, canned food didn’t come to play until the late 20’s which, I think we over eat that as well. However, the amount of land that is dedicated to livestock and the amount of methane gases that is release into the atmosphere was very alarming. On the other hand, Ann Cooper thought me a lot, especially when you have kids and the predictions that the CDC gave about 40% to 45% of all kids would be insulin depended within a decade. Still, the USDA and we as parents allow it to happen by serving our kids nothing but junk food. I was upset when I found out that we spend about $5.00 to feed a kid a week. After I watched these videos, I had to show it my family how all the negative impacts of eating unhealthy foods can cause our kids to be at great risk. We became aware and decide to come up with a way of trying to promote buying healthier foods and only going out to eat once a week.
Yeah, me too. I was shocked by some of the statistics they presented. These lectures have really made me think really hard revamping my diet.
ReplyDeleteI also could not believe that the amount of gases in lifestock and animal waste affected our atmosphere much more than vehicles. Thanks for sharing with us.
ReplyDeleteI talked to my family as well about starting to eat healthier and only eating out less often.
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize how much cattle contributed to all those bad gases that are being released into the atmosphere
ReplyDeleteI was stunned to find out that we spend more money on an inmate than school lunches.
ReplyDeleteThose videos were so eye-opening weren't they!
