What have we studied about FOOD in our current unit?
We studied about food and that many people in the world are starving. People who do not get sufficient nourishment develop serious health problems and can even die. We also learned about malnutrition, which means poor health and lack of nutrients. Malnutrition and starvation are caused partly by increased population and interference. For example, lack of protein in the diet can cause many sicknesses such as brain damage. They can be treated and be curable only if they are treated early or quickly. Also, an increase of food crops is enabling people to be fed than in the past. A limited amount of land-use practices can cause an amount of arable land that is decreased every year because of damage to the soil. We also studied about how to control pests. Farmers apply large amounts of poisonous chemicals to crops, and controlling pests can result in their becoming resistant to the control.

As a result of our studies about FOOD, explain one thing in your life you�ve changed:
I haven�t only changed one thing, but a lot of things. After studying about food and nutrition, I have been eating healthy and taking care of myself better. I have started to eat breakfast. Now I know why they call breakfast �The most important meal of the day,� because it gets you going through the day, so you�re not hungry and weak (or lack of energy). I always ate fast foods (grease, fats and oils), and I know they�re not good for you and not always good or healthy to eat every single day. I�ve been eating salads, grains and less meat. Lately, I�ve been more energetic and I am healthier than before.
