I hoped You learned something about Processed meats and Sodium nitrite

When you consume food, and especially food on the go or foods easy to make, take initiative of what could be in that food as I have learned form my research that many processed meats contain sodium nitrite which is very dangerous for human consumption and can cause cancer risk, also these kinds of food have been high for causing weight gain and obesity so yes they may be fast and cheap but they are effecting your health in a bad way and can cause future problems. I just want people to be aware of what they are feeding there body, the food industry doesn't care, so its up to you. So watch for sodium nitrite and when you eat something inspected first I know I do i want to know one somewhat of what I'm about to consume.

Memo 6: CSW Interview

When attending the CSW, we had to interview another English 121 student. As though there were many students who had interesting topics, I chose to interview Sharonda Sutton, her topic for her research essay was Does social media distract first year college students to pay attention to their academic achievements. The first question I asked her was what was her research question and again that is Does social media distract first year college students to pay attention to their academic achievements. The second question I asked was Do you feel you learned anything new, her response was, Yes, after gathering up information out of 20 surveyed first time college students all said they were distracted by social media sites like Facebook, twitter, and Instagram. They said that the socail networks have become so popular, most students are on them all day, even during classes, on girl states that she will be trying to do homework, but if her phone is right next to her it automatically provokes her to want to get on it and check one of her social media sites. My third question was Do you feel as if the CSW was effective, she responded yes, it was a nice environment and gave her the opportunity to explore other English 121 individuals creativeness on their projects provided, got to see what everyone else has been working on the while semester, so yes it was very effective. And the fourth question was do you feel as if you were able to get your essay question point across displayed on your project, like do you feel as others new what your question was about by just looking at what you had to present, she responded, yes I feel as not only mine but other projects revolved around what there research question was.

With this over all being I do feel like not only first year students but all students get distracted by social medias, I'm not sure f i effects there academic achievement because it doesn't effect mine, I won't let it but it could to others it all depends. Social medias are a distractions to a lot of things.

This week.

Wow we've come to it being our last week in this class, I hope everyone has took time out to maybe revise there research essay, I know I am. I hope as you do that you add in things you have previously learned, or find new interesting things, this has been a bit of a rough semester which so much work to do just to complete an good essay, but I hope everyone is satisfied with what they have. I know I learned a lot of new things about "food" that I may have never known before, and I will use it in the future. Well I hope everyone has a good week, see ya Thursday, use the time you have wisely to prepare for a better grade. work hard, and be determined that's the key to success!

Obesity in America

Here is an article about obesity in America and how it has come to be a problem here is the link http://healthyliving.msn.com/health-wellness/obesity-in-america-whats-driving-the-epidemic-1 this article contains info that contains to that they are trying to figure out the exact cause of obesity it has been studied. The amount of obesity in America has increased by 50%. Many people have come to where they don't want to do any physical activity, if you aren't working out in your spare time or doing something productive. Then what happens to the body.

CSW

I hope everyone is well prepared for the CSW, I hope we all prove the point we were trying to establish in research paper. Some of us have been over whelmed with all of this but I think you will all do great, I also think we will see a lot of new interesting things. I hope you all have got something to present that is great? And that the rest of the semester flies by and is relatively easy. I just wishing for a good grade and a good out coming of the CSW. Good luck everyone.

Research Essay

I feel like I have been very misguided through out this whole research and now my essay is all messed up, ad confusing, because the help I was given was the best. I feel like my question wasn't the right one to pick, and those knew I wouldn't find very much information on my topic but let me pick it anyway, all these discussions and papers we wrote were all said to be like I was going in the right direction, and now that the final paper was due, I'm told some thing totally different. That;s the point in feedback to help to achieve a goal in which we were headed. So my research is pretty much all over the place. I've never had a problem in writing a paper, or doing research. Everything through out this whol semester was rushed.

Memo 5

For my project for CSW, I would just like to present something to show my peers, and others around me the effects, the chemicals, and the ingredients in processed meats. I don’t want to just let people know what’s in the meat, but what it does to, or could do to the human body. So I was thinking to present some kind of bag and or container with a label on it and then there will be little containers labeled with each ingredient that are in it. I would also like to figure out something to help me to show the percentage in of how much meat is actually is processed meat, and there is to 8% of actual meat, so maybe play dough, and like cut 8 percent of it out showing what you’re eating, and how much of its actual meat the rest is random ingredients and chemicals. But I think I am going to go with the label and then label all the ingredients. I am going to present a couple articles, which show the cancer risks that are caused because of the consuming of processed meats. Because these products are making people ill, and well as people knowing the other things about processed meats the, the fact that it is very dangerous for human consumption is the most important aspect, and that is what I really what people to know, and to be aware of. So I’ll get some labels, and all the ingredients will be included in my little 3-D presentation and a couple articles to, I hope that this is good enough to get my point across. There’s not much to help me to show with the question that I have, but I will do my best to let others know and to be aware. Processed meat is very unhealthy, contains dangerous chemicals, and cause severe weight gain.

Does exercise effect the diet.

Does working out help a person want to eat better or do they work out to try and eliminate what they've just eatin. Also because what they have eatin over time can affect how much they can exercise and to what extent. I think your diet affects, the frequency, time, and time of exercise a person can do, Pushing your self to hard, with a bad diet can cause many problems. Like I have a bad diet and a bad habit of eating healthy. I always want to work out, but I never have the energy to, and I always want to sleep. So I think the diet does affect the performance of the body!

Just Cook Healthy

It doesn't matter how the meal looks, or all the complications you had making it. That's not the point of food, it just needs to be good, healthy, and have a few fresh ingredients. You could eat the most fanciest food ever, but the most unhealthiest. Now you point in that is. As long as it taste good, doesn't matter how it looks or how fancy it may be. Everyone also has a budget, and that fanciness has a cost. THINK ABOUT IT?1!? All the right ingredients could make a meal a meal, a meal that will live in your mouth. Some things are more important than others. The key to it all is to be healthy. At least try.

Food Packaging

Here is a link to an article about food packaging http://esciencenews.com/articles/2014/02/20/food.packaging.chemicals.may.be.harmful.human.health.over.long.term

This article is about how the synthetic chemicals used in the packaging, storage, and processing of foodstuffs might be harmful to human health over a long term, people aren't aware that the chemicals that are used could one day have an impact on there health. and that this situation isn't looked in to enough, none of the problems containing anything that involves food is. Not even when someone doe become harmed. We are exposed to chemicals daily. This is occurring environmentally, involving the states of pollution and such. This is something us consumers should be aware of. So take a look at this article.

People struggle everyday, many do have a love for food, and that love soon turns into fat, because it's not noticed at first. No one wants to be fat. But they want to enjoy the food they love. And the food you love the most. Never has a label on it that's reads fat. So before you know it the food you love starts to appear as something you hate. And since most people don't "love" the "healthy" stuff. They end up in an unpleasant body. And once you start eating the so called food that you love it hard to stop, get rid of it. But it is yo get of the fat it is causing. It's like cause and effect. Food does some harmful stuff do are bodies. That is not suppose to be the purpose of it. So what do you do. Do you let go of something you love, to avoid something you don't want to become. Or just leave it as it is?!?
