the thing that most useful I learn in this class

After a quarter’s learning of writing skill, the thing I learn which help me the most is searching the resource to support my idea. Before I take this class, I never use any others idea to prove my point, however, after learning the writing skill in this class, I notice that using others point of view is also important. For most of the readers, the opinion of a group of people is more believable.  

What is healthy food?

After reading the two articles, we can easily understand that both of the authors want to tell us what kind of food that they believe is good for people’s health.

In the first article “History of Food Advice” which is written by Dupuis, the author points out that people nowadays are influenced by the popular articles too much on choosing the food they eat. He says that “Because we have lost our faith in both religion and science as guides to eating, we rely on popular writers to steer us through a welter of confusing and contradictory information.”(p34) He first writes about in the early nineteenth century, people more believe in god and their traditional, they have their own believe on what is healthy. In order to change their mind, some scientist begins to use bible to improve themselves. They say that “When direct angelic advice was missing, food reformers used a peculiar semi-scientific deism as their method, counting on the Bible to provide them with scientific data about a better future. For example, the early food reformer Robert Hartley “proved” that God intended humans to drink milk because He showed preference for the pastoralist Abel over the ploughman Cain.”(38) They also sys Americans eat too much meat, they use data to improve that American work eat over meat every day and compare them with the German workers.

In the second article “Unhappy Meals” which is write by Pollan, the author shows his point view that really interest me. First of all, he believes that we should believe in the food that old people choose, the things that people begin to eat from a long time ago is must good for their health. Secondly, Pollan believes that people nowadays eat too much; it is more than what they need. Eating as much as you can is not good for your health, however, eat until you do not feel hungry is enough. The quality is more important than the amount. Thirdly, he points out people should eat more kinds of food, only meat and basic vegetable are not enough, we should also eat fruit. More types of food mean more kind of nutrition.

Nowadays, because people can have a better life than before, so we have the ability to choose the food we want. So, many people just eat the food they like but not care about if it is healthy. I think we should follow the idea of the scientists, so that we can get have the healthy choice.

         

thoughts on eating practices

i am a person who only eat meat, no matter what kind of meat porklamb or even frog. i eat vegetable nearly once a month when my parents are not force me to do that. this eating habbits brings me a lot of health trabble, however, i never think i should change my eating habbit. i believe that we should enjoy the thing we like when we are young, i do not care about how long i can be alive but i think enjoy the present life is the most important thing.

after reading difei's paper

after reading difei's paper, i know that he is talking about yogurt is good for our health. in his paper, i find something that interest me. first of all, he points out that how much nutrasion in the yogurt is depends on the milk they use. he also use the medicaal journal to show us the nutrasions both in milk and yogurt. secondly, he says that eating yogurt can help us to keep away from disease. it not only can help us to defence some normal illness like catching a cold, it can also help us to against the Colon Cancer. 

Chicken nugget

Chicken nugget is a popular food in America, both children and adult like it. After I come to America, I can nearly find chicken nugget in every meal, and we also like to buy them from the market and cooks by ourselves. However, does eating chicken nugget good for our health? I do not really think so.

First of all, I want to talk about the resource about the chicken nugget, which is the chicken in America. I have once watched a movie called the “food inc”, it talks about how does the farmers in America feed the chicken. The chicken in America is really unhealthy; they cannot even walk by themselves until they died. They lives in a small dark house from they born, in order to let them grow fast, they cannot see the sunlight in their whole live. Every day, the farmers throw some food in to their house to keep their life. The place where the chicken lives in is really dirty, they live in the shit and pee of themselves but no one helps them to clean it. I think they are more preferred to die than alive. After they get killed, they will be disinfected by using the Chlorine water, which is really unhealthy for people, and that is why the chicken bone in the KFC is different with normal color, it is more like a black color. As a result, the chicken in American is really not a good choice to eat.

Secondly, chicken nugget itself is not good for people’s health. On one hand, chicken do not have much nutrition compare with other meat, on the other hand, too much oil is harmful to people. Especially when we buy the chicken nugget from the market and hit by ourselves, we may put more oil in it. My friends once tell me the way that how the factory makes the chicken nugget which is report on the newspaper, which really make people feel disgusting. In order to earn more money, they use the whole chicken to make the chicken nugget and they do not want to “waste” any part of it. They crash the whole chicken into the muddy flesh minced meat; include the bones and some unhealthy part. This makes me uncomfortable every time when I eat the chicken nugget, I always feel that I have already eaten the chicken ass. I have checked a medical journal that talks about the food safety about the chicken nugget in McDonalds, I the article, the author points out that they find there are some unhealthy additives like rubber in the chicken nugget of McDonalds. After this thing was reported by the media, McDonalds stand out and said it was use to stop the air get into the nugget when it was boiled, and they also said that it was conform the law in our country, however, this attracted a lot of people and they found that this additive is just used for keep the nugget into a square and this additive was not checked by the government.

In conclusion, chicken nugget is not good for our health, although it is tasty, we should not eat too much.
