reflection

Through all the interviews and discussions we have had in class I have learned that it is important to have a healthy plant based diet. It is also very important to know what we are consuming.Many things have changed and has had a great influence on every single person. Studies show that we have become Americanized by what we eat. Fast food companies have grown and expanded worldwide which has made the situation hard to ignore. We have become their leading number one consumers which has made it hard to stop production of fast foods.Traditional customs have changed through time which has made people consume more than to be able to produce their own goods. Not only has the way we eat impacted our lives but traditional medicine has been ivolving. Customs ,that are ansestors have been creating and practicing for many any years have been lost and changed to new ones. Herbal medicines might take time to cure an illness but western medicine despite of having a fast effect can cause damages to other vital organs. This topic about food problems and remedios has also influenced me to try and make a difference in my community by making them realize how a healthy lifestyle can be beneficial to them.
