From Mark Bittman’s lecture I learned how meat in our diets is really unnecessary and that by cutting down on raising livestock we will cut down on all the methane gases that are in the atmosphere. The main message was to cut down on meat and eat more plants because that’s what really has all the nutrition we need. After watching this video I think I actually will cut down on the meat consumption more and try to eat more healthy things like vegetables.
Ann Cooper’s lecture was very impressive because she had a lot of facts about what our country spends the most on; for example, I didn’t know that only $500 was spent on food for children while $110 billion was spent on keeping prisoners in prison, and $200 billion was spent on diet-related illness. It also surprised me how buying a 5dollar coffee was more than feeding a child for a week. I learned a lot of facts from this lecture and now I know how important it is to make a difference in children’s life by giving them classes on healthy food, because if we don’t then the next generations are the ones that are going to suffer for eating too many unhealthy foods.
I am seriously considering... "Less meat, less junk, more plants."
ReplyDeletei too believe i will cut down on meat and try to eat more healthy foods
ReplyDeleteYes! We need a healthy new generation and healthy food!
ReplyDeleteSeems to me that if we spend a little bit more money on the food we eat, we can save money on our medical bills.. what an idea!
ReplyDeleteIts a easy formula.. more plants and less junk.. lol
