A day in the life of English 101 with Ash :)

 Welcome back to my blog! Today I wanted to discuss the comic below. You may have heard the saying "You are what you eat." Although we may not turn into a sandwich when we eat one, we still have to be mindful of what we eat. Eating a lot of fat or sugar means that your body will absorb that fat and sugar. So, if you only eat fast food your body will be filled with what fast food is made of.  It is important that we cut down on eating so much fast food and unhealthy junk. We will not only have more energy, but we will also feel better. If we eat healthy food, we will be healthy. If we eat unhealthy food all the time, we will be unhealthy and be exposed to a variety of health issues. Negative eating doesn't just involve weight gain, but it also can negatively affect mood, fatigue, and weakness. It also affects brain function.

Recently I made the decision to change jobs. It was really hard, but I feel so much happier.

The movie fresh brings to light the many problems within the food industry. Specifically, mass production companies. Huge companies have issues keeping crops and animals healthy. Local farmers and producers have less of a problem with crops and animals. The purpose of this movie is to encourage the audience to buy from local farmers rather than mass producers.

Instead of decreasing animal amounts, producers would give animals shots. I was happy to see local farming in the documentary. It showed good examples of places we should be buying food from. P
