For a final food project i decided to change my supermarket habits when i went shopping. When i went food shopping with my mom, i told her to buy fish instead of meat because of all the horrible things i saw in the movie and what i read in the book. Walking around the supermarket i paid more attention to the labels also and instead of getting ham i decided to get turkey. I decided to become a vegetartain for a day or two days to see how it feel and try something new. At first i was scared because i was so used to eating meat but i thought "hey it won't be that bad."
For the first day i had a tuna sandwich with water and a salad with onions and tomatoes with dressing that my mom made. While i was eating my dinner, i was happy that the fact it did not involve meat and that i could eat something without feeling gulilty for the animals that were slaughtered. Unfortunetly by the second day it all changed. My mom did not cook that night and she ended up buying McDonalds. Thinking about it was digusted but at the same time i wasn't going to starve myself. I decided to get two snack wraps and fries.
When i was on my second snack wrap i was looking at the lettuce and it looked kind of old. I spit it out and threw the rest of my food out. Then i wondered this is why i decided to stop eating it in the first place. It's hard changing your diet because lots of times you still have those cravings. I feel like i can accomplish changing my diet, just have to keep that motive in my head. Before i would never think about "i should stop eating meat" but after everything in this unit, it has definetly changed my mind.
I feel like it's important to be aware what is in your food. For example, my food looked old and i didn't even notice because i was so hungry. We never take the time out to look and even be notified. "Everything is not what it seems" just like our food we don't see all the bad things that have our food has been altered into. It's not real food the food is fake.
