In Happy Meals the author Michael Pollan is bringing up many good issues that consist in our eating behavior and food productions. I like the saying that he mentions that: Don’t eat anything your great-grandmother wouldn’t recognize as food. I totally agree with him in this fact because today’s stores are filled with many conserved food, most of them imitation of the real one, and also tons of junks that is been put out there just make profit out of it. When you walk to supermarkets you see twenty rows of rafts filled with lots of products which most of them you have no idea where they came from, how to cook them, how to eat them, and also what is more important is that how good this product will be for our bodies.
Besides that American life is build in this way of rushing and laziness, because most of the people eat they’re meals when they drive, when they walk to go to work or even eating outside because there are lazy to cook. But all depends how your life is build.
For example: In Japan people live longer than any other place, because most of the food productions in they’re tables are plants and seafood. This fresh products will expend they’re bodies to live longer because nothing is raised from antibiotics, nothing is fake and imitations.
When I first got to America me and my family didn’t know much of the food in here.
We start having the same routine as the American life. After I while my dad start having heart issues and the consequences were the food which thickness his blood and high his cholesterol. After the surgery and the entire medication, doctor told him that from now his primary food has to come from vegetables, because it will reduce the cholesterol and it will thin the blood. This fact gave us a good lesson to check all the labels and to cook at home which primary has to come from leaves. But as my family i think the whole American people should concider this fact as a very serious issue which has to be done immediatly.
