Final Thoughts

This post will be the final post for me. This blog has given me so much research on buying from local growers versus buying from grocery stores. I’ve learned about new developments that farmers are starting to use such as accepting food stamps. I have also learned about how much healthier farmers markets foods are for you.

 


On the other side, I’ve learned that grocery stores are more convenient for you. They may not be as healthy but you do not have buy produce seasonally as opposed to farmers markets. Grocery stores are also more convenient with their hours of business.

 


So, as I conclude this blog post I hope that people will be motivated by my posts to go outside their comfort zone and try buying from local markets, if they buy mostly from grocery stores. And if readers buy from grocery stores, they would buy from farmers markets.

Summary

Yeah, this is late. Anyways, to sum up everything, my story is going to be about a girl who finds that her family is going to be a huge help during her fight through diabetes. Through all the research I have done, I know a basic description of what her eating habits will be like, what types of pains and annoyances she will have, and also how she will grow accustomed to it. I know that she will have a lot of celebrity influences because through my research even I was surprised at how many celebrities have the disease. I found many people's personal essays that they put online about their own experiences with diabetes and I hope to use those as a guide to how my character acts in my story.

No She Does Not Have A Name Yet

Well... I can honestly say that I have no idea where to start. My blogging experience has probably come to an end here. All I have to offer is a summary of how I'm going to write this.

A girl caught up in the city life--totally forgotten of her down-home roots--travels South back to her country-life family for Christmas. This turns into a completely life-changing experience for her when she realizes how much she actually misses her old lifestyle. She is left with a big choice--go back to the Big Apple with her new life and circle of friends, or stay in her hometown with the people and sights she grew up in?

There's your summary. I'm considering writing it in a personal-journal sort of way in the eye of the city-girl-gone-back-home (no, I have not named her yet, but I will)

Teen Health: Keep Fighting



As you may have already guessed from the other posts of my fellow CW writers, this blog is coming to an end. Thanks to limited resources, information, and other factors, this will be my last blog. While writing this blog, I have found that there are a lot ways that teens can stay healthy. Exorcising, eating healthy, and even getting a new pet can keep away the pounds and health risks. There are other ways to stay in movement, like dancing, playing kickball with friends, or just taking a nice walk. Teens have decisions that they can make that will keep their health in good condition. Hopefully this blog site reached someone.

Eh...

     Well, this is pretty much over now.  I wish I could say that it has been more of a profitable experience; I wish i could say that some good, some real good, actually came out these; I wish my teacher actually read these and noticed how smart I look when I write.  Unfortunately, some things just can't happen.
     Thinking back on this, I realize something very particular: I have never given a solution to the problem I've presented.  I've shown it to a very high degree that just looks like nagging, but I've never given a solution.  I suppose that's the ultimate fault of giving a problem; that person expects someone else to fill in the details and figure out what to do next.
     So, here is the only solution I can think of to a problem like this: think.  Think about everything you see around you and think carefully about it.  Ask questions, reason with these questions, and look for answers.  Wonder about the world around you and take it all into consideration.  If something needs to be changed, tell people; if something needs to be done, try to do it; if there is something wrong, make it right.  I know that many people out there think that something is wrong with what goes on in Alabama, particularly Montgomery.  And it's not just the problem I've stated, it's other problems (not calling any of them out...MPS) as well.
     Alabama can provide produce for itself, and sell it to the people of  Alabama too.  Enough said, enough done.  Problem solved...at lease if anyone does something to solve it.
                                 
                                                                                                                                            Godspeed

The Final Blog

This is my last blog and my last chance to warn you about bad dietary choices.

Eat healthy so you won't get sick!!!! That is the simplest way I can put it.
For all the anorexic, obese, and any other eating disorder person...YOU CAN EAT, JUST MAKE SURE ITS HEALTHY!! Obese people can loose weight and anorexic people can get to a healthy size without being fat or over weight. All you have to do is eat healthy and work out.

I now know what I'm going to write my short story about for this project.

Farewell

Well i think this will be my last post for a while. It was fun and i learned a lot as i dived into the world of fast food. I actually did go to Golden Corral with my parents today and got to see what they usually eat when they go. It really wasn't as bad as i thought.My mom had fried fish, carrots,mash potatoes and peas. My dad had grilled tilapia and some kind of spicy chicken, and some other things. Their dessert in take was kinda rocky though.There was ice cream with chocolate and peanut toppings and mini pecan pies floating between the two. But still in the long run they weren't so bad. I just don't know if doing this routine every week though is healthy.

Farewell Blogger!
