Modified Mindset

This was one of the most interesting units I have ever covered in school because it actually applies to our daily lives and I find it interesting. Before this unit I thought I knew a lot about our food system but I didn't really know anything. After reading numerous articles and watching movies and videos, I have really learned a lot that I never knew. I knew the stuff we eat isn't healthy but I never knew how unhealthy. Also, it was shocking but not surprising to read and hear about how the food companies and government are all about profit and they don't actually care about our health. They really don't even care what they feed us as long as they can make some money. This really opened my eyes and made me think about all the unhealthy food I've eaten throughout my life. It really impacted me in a positive way and motivated me to change my eating habits. It's been like 3 weeks since I've eaten hot cheetos or fast food but honestly I've saved so much money and it makes me happy knowing I'm not putting that stuff into my body as often anymore. Obviously every once in a while is nice but I've greatly been enjoying my mom's delicious home cooked meals. Hopefully everything I learned sticks with me rather than just being temporary.
