sad day

Still have yet to change/ modify my Google Alerts, so there's not much help in that department. My father, on the other hand, has been back in the hospital for high blood sugar. He's now on insaline.

Not Stopping :)

Well, it seems that many people don't like blogging apparently. And it looks like our class project is falling apart. So our teacher, Mr. Dickson, said we can either stop blogging or keep on going--our choice. So I chose to continue! :) I feel like vegetarianism is something many either know or care little about. So if you want to keep on reading my blogs (...if anyone is...), I would love for you to! And send any questions you like! :)

The End of The Road

Ok, so my blogging has come to an end; sad to say. Over the last couple of weeks I have learned a lot. The first couple of weeks of my blogs, I observed how my family reacted to eating out and eating in. I learned that when we ate out for dinner we were always tired after we ate and we would always gain a couple pounds. When we ate at home, everyone could keep their eyes open for the next 3hours after we ate. Longhorn was I favorite restaurant to dine in at. We would always order some Texas cheese fries and the wild west shrimp before we get our food. So we would be full before we get our main course, but we would still eat everything that was in front of us. We then triend to go out to eat at least once a week to cut back on eating out and saving more money. It worked for a couple of weeks and then we started to disobey the rules. Later we stop going out period and ate at home. I’m happy to say it really worked. I was proud of my family. Now that I don’t have to blog anymore I know we will be eating out more now :).

I enjoyed you guys !

Oh, ohh.

So basically, even with all the research I've done, my opinion on eating in versus eating out is still the same. I did find a lot of stuff that would help me argue my opinion on why eating in is better than eating out. Not only did i learn some statistics and some nutritional information, I learned what some people are doing to still "keep hope alive" and continue the old tradition of cooking at home. I even went a little deeper in thought and imagined what it would be like if we stopped cooking all together. I even had a nightmare about Thanksgiving (ehhh!). It was pretty cool over all.

Hello, to all who read and all who will read. Thanks for reading and/or following this. Because of this blog I've learned a lot about diabetes and raising awareness. My only hope is that we can take everything we know and do better with it. Basically its what everybody says: exercise and eat healthy, but it doesn't hit you until you actually try it. But, you truly feel accomplished after you do. Even if it's just eating healthy, try something. It won't hurt to try at all. And if it does...I apologize.

Finishing this project I believe I did find I learned a lot about the chain reaction of life. For the most part, no one is happy and only looks at the harmful effect that the oil spill resulted in. Now reading my last google alert, which was only somewhat helpful, this article by Fred Lucas is saying no fish were harm in te activity of filling up the ocean will oil. Yes fish have been reported to have been killed he says, but not from the spill. In my last research I am finding the arguments over why the fish have died after this catastrophe. Maybe in the future every question asked will be answered. What I know though, is that not all these problems were has deep and stressing as before this ship leaked. So are people just taking advantage to now have someone to blame, or is BP just trying to make everything less disastrous as they really are?

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.
