Entry 11# Final/Reflection

To all my two followers that i had this is goodbye:'( I know our time was short but know that I've reach my goal i have not intention of continuing this. But since this is my last blog i would like to share my moments and what i learned from it.
Lets start at the beginning.... 
      I remember writhing my first blog oh how i hated it. Well i just don't like it when it comes to writing. I never truly took this blog as seriously mainly because its A Blog!! your not supposed to unless it an informational blog. If that were the case then it would be Wikipedia. Which is boring :( 
        But i did learn an important lesson from this blog -Never take any assignment for granted there always a way to make it into something interesting no matter how boring.
      I would recommd that all English teachers follow this example. It would not only help improve students writing it allows them to do what they already do which is post on social media. 
Dear Chris although our time was short you were a fun, nice teacher i would say come up with more blogging assignments with up to date topics. This all i have to say to you my readers and ill leave you with words my teacher once said if you plan on blogging yourself....

"Remember to think about your audience when writing. Use your voice wisely and thoughtfully. Be insightful and considerate. Think about deep connections to society, humans and yourself. Be engaging and impressive to your reader."

Extra credit


Well its 2:Am ive been doing college work since the morning my legs are num my brain is fried and i just watched this film called Food Inc.
            And im not going to post any of the grotesque images i saw in this movies and it did indeed change the way i look at my food. But im not going to say that i was surprised to see such animal cruelty in this. Yes there were times were i couldn't sand watching certain parts but it human nature.
         Survival of the fittest if you may, but the way society is doing it is completely wrong. I understand that its necessary to eat in order to survive but why must we make the animals suffer even more!!!
            Its bad enough that we eat them but now there experimenting with them feeding them there own dead kind! Injecting growth hormones and keeping them in unsanitary health conditions where there imprisoned and then slaughtered. I just cant seem to understand why? Why cant we just go back to the days were farmers didn't have to worry about their cattle catching something and the animals roaming freely and live freely. But the images i saw was nothing like how i wished it was oh no, it was the complete opposite. And my final words to this before i pass out, is that its about time The united States of America wakes up one day and change the way things are around here.Not even the Europeans are struggling like we are. Because the thing that surprised me the most is that this film is old but society has changed but for the worse not better. 














Entry #10

"Get jacked!" "Get pumped!" "Gain 10 pounds in 10 days!" Walk into any vitamin store and You'll get the idea that you can be cut like a bodybuilder in no TIME! Protein powders compete for shelf space with muscle enhancers and testosterone boosters. You'll find energy drinks, protein bars, amino-acid packets, and even muscle-building oatmeal with 30 grams of protein. Tempting, but do they really work?
    First off i wanna make one thing clear because i know that when most people think of muscle supplements they immediately think of "steroids". For those of you who for some reasons don't know what they are: Steroids jack up testosterone when "injected" to forces testosterone from the body. Which leads to extreme muscle growth but since they do not work naturally it only last for a limited time. At this point one would call this the "elastic clause" Or in other words what comes up must come down. So the negatives of this for men and in some cases women that increase of testosterone change the way a person looks completely and for women it makes them grow facial hair and gives them a more masculine look. But what it does for men is much worse aside for the fact that it lowers your lifespan extremely fast, it also reduce men's "manly hood" tenfold.Which is why they were removed from store shelves in 2005 due to safety concerns and concerned illegal in all off america. But supplement makers have responded with natural products purported to boost this muscle-building sex-hormone.  Not everything is bad for you so when you hear the words muscle supplement think of :proteins, preworkouts, fat-burners, amino-fast, omega 3s, and creatine. 
    SO yes! there are ways to help if your planning on building muscles. But of course always! consult your doctor before make such changes to your body. ;) P.S heres a link if you need help finding some that are 100% safe guarantee --->https://www.bluestarnutraceuticals.com/

Entry #9 McDonald's Pink Slime




Mm-mm.. after watching this doesn't it just make you hungry!! For a bowl of SALAD!! I mean look at this its absolutely atrocious. Before i share my thoughts and comments let me explain what this is. This is those 10 piece chicken nuggets you get at McDonald's or how about that mouth watering big mac everyone loves.But when McDonalds comes to mind people just chose to ignore some may be completely oblivious to the dangers of this food service company.  
You know it might not be the healthiest food for you but it tastes so good and not to mention its sold at a low cost. But what is this Pink Slime?!?!?When evidence on this was released to the public many people were shocked at what they were eating. Now every time i here that someone even claimed to have found a chicken beak in their chicken i believe it .
                  Now how could that be? The rumor behind McDonald's meat processing was that they put a whole chicken bone in all into a grinder and out came this pink slime. It was supposedly pink because of the red blood. But it dosent end there Oh no the had to add ammonia to kill all that bacteria that came from the blood and bones that were in the slime when grinned. And not to mention the dangers in caused to peoples health, 
For example, Cancer heart disease and diabetes and lets not for get to mention OBESITY!! an epidemic that needs to end not be encouraged. Now i know what your saying and yes MacDonald's claims to say that they found a better means to make there food so no more oink slime.  

Entry #7 "Fresh"

Have you ever thought about the food you eat and where it comes from?
 I mean, really, really thought about it?
 Questioned it? Considered it? Are you thinking about it now? Why or why not?
Do you think that  it comes from a farm loving family that we've all  see on TV  like this one were the "assure your that there produce is freshly pick" 
What about our meats? Can we truly know how the animals are treated before consuming them?  
Well, those questions are answered in a film called Fresh, you might be wondering, w
hat is the purpose of this film? The film explains what is going on with our food. 
           To begin, From what i remember is that it starts off in a family farm where they talk about how their organically produced products are clean and pure; however not all of us are lucky to have freshly produced foods a hand. In fact most of society relies on industrial farming. And there's a huge differences between organically produced and industrially produced. 
            And here's why: According to the film Fresh  they show us that those big food companies  don't care for the quality of the food we eat. They buy the cheapest ways to feed the animals and to increase the productivity the keep them all locked away in small confide places where 100s to 1000s of animals can be in. And here's an example of industrially VS.organically                                        
I was completely speechless when i saw this movies seeing all those animals mistreated and being injected with growth hormones to increase food production but what hit me the most was when they said that they have been feeding the animals the own kind. I know that's cannibalism but for animals and all the diseases that came from this was insane such as mad cow disease and swine flue. I believe that this film brings out the best of eating freshly organically foods and the dangers of continuing to consume industrial foods. AND it is IMPORTANT that we change the way society is right now before mother nature starts fighting back.

Entry #6 A Cup of Tea

Green tea is the healthiest beverage on the planet.It is loaded with antioxidants and nutrients that have powerful effects on the body.This includes improved brain function, fat loss, a lower risk of cancer. 
Green tea does more than just keep you awake, it can also make you smarter its all because the key active ingredient is caffeine, which is a known stimulant that can also make you burn the fat and reduce inflammation. Caffeine is said to reduce teeth enamel however green tea improves dental health and helps get rid of bad breath. I personally drink 2-3 cups each day many because I've become addicted to its tastes better than coffee and doesn't leave me with coffee breath. Therefore if your trying to get rid of your Starbucks addition i recommend that you try green tea and to sweeten it up add some honey!
Honey helps to coat the throat while the warm water soothes. This soothing and coating action also helps to reduce your cough. And also improve you immune system!


Entry #5 Wall-E vs the humans!!



We are already there. Sad, very sad and true This is humanity's CURRENT reality... and it's about to get far worse than this. Now we may not floating chair holograms and personal robots that come with a snap. But its true society is going towards this direction. Most teens cant stay away from there phones for less than a minute when it comes to texting. 

As for future generations i agree with this videos babies are going to be taught by robots. There are also people who lay on there couches everyday and order take out which is similar to this video.
In addition, people follow random trends that are famous on the internet just like in the videos were they canged there color from read to blue.
