Hw 11- Final Food project 1

For this assignment, I chose to use an experimental approach. I chose to change one of my meals a day to include No meat, and to be a much healthier food choice. The meal I chose to change is breakfast. Prior to the beginning of my experiment, my typical breakfast's consisted of either chocolate chip waffles with syrup and orange juice, 2 eggs with salami and cheese on a roll with orange juice, or a very sugary cereal such as Froot Loops or Captain Crunch. For this experiment and hopefully permanently, I am having either    wheat toast with a banana and orange juice or 2 egg whites without cheese on wheat bread with orange juice. With the change in my diet, I feel much safer and at east mentally with the knowledge that I am having a healthy breakfast, and I know eventually the physical changes will be apparent.
During the food unit, I've learned more about the industrial process behind producing meat and the dominant discourses behind having such unhealthy food such as Mcdonalds over fresh vegetables and fruit.   My experiment is directly linked to what I've learned in this unit, because I intended to put myself in the category of healthier dietary habits and to see if its effects on my body are worth the change for.
I can safely say already within a week of my experiment, that I've learned even a small step to better eating habits, such as mine can really make a difference in a short time, and in the long term, it will pay off even more, for you and the environment.
The idea of eating healthy to help the environment is important for the entire world, because industrial farms that produce the meat that we consume through mostly fast food, can be rendered almost useless if people chose healthier ways to eat, and stopped promoting the need for fast food restaurants.
