 Hi! I'm going to talk about the article, "U.N. Says 2015 Likely to Be Warmest Year on Record".
 
 The reson I chose this one is because I have already read  "problems of feeding pets leftovers" in everyone's blog eventhough I haven't read the article yet. So I decided to choose this environmental problem since food and environment have strong relationshipe. In the future, we might suffer from food because of environmental problems and that is already happening.
 
  So the article said the period 2011 to 2015 had been the warmest five years on record, with many extreme weather events influenced by climate changes. Also, in parts of the U.S., drought condition cotinued and wildfires broke out. It warns us that unless we do something at once, it might cause irreparable situation.

Food for all


Food for all

What do they have in common?

They are similar in the way that they all help people who have no access to proper food.

What do their approach differ?

Second harvest collect food that were thrown away by companies because of the damage of package and so on.

 

How would you be able to volunteer for these organizations?

 I would like to share this website in SNS such as Facebook and Twitter so that more people will acknowledge those issues and to nail down this problem.

 

Which group seems to be most active?

 I think both groups are active. However, I personally prefer Second harvest because there are actually great deal of number of food that are thrown away by developed countries. Thus, the group helps countries which are suffering from food shortage and countries which don’t know how to deal with food that still can be eaten.

Hi! Today I'm goint to show how much score I got in the food quiz.

 My score was 16% and the average score was 70%.
 Obviously, I know nothing about food Orz

 But the quiz was interesting and some quetions really suprised me a lot !
For instance, the question "what is NOT technically berry" confuesed me alot and the answer was surprisingly "strawberry"!  

One more thing this quiz has taught me is, "love to eat " do not equal "know about food".

 Hi. I'm going to introduce the "interesting" movie which is related to my book,"the fast food nation". 


 WARNING This vido contains pictures that you want to keep your eyes off and it might give you the bad impression about Fast Food.  




https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uHxRwQqWFo



 This video gives us the idea of how the food in fast food restruant (in this case McDonald) break down in our body. As you saw in the video, hamburgers turned into various "artistic" craft, nevertheless, French fries didn't even change it's colore.    

 So I tried to find the reason why the MacDonald's FrenchFries do not break down. This is what I found in the internet.

“If you try doing the same experiment with a homemade burger with similar moisture content as a McDonald’s hamburger and under similar conditions, you’ll probably get the same rresults.”
                                                                                                                                    MacDonald

"This is due to several preservatives that are contained within their food. Several customers have documented leaving the food out for several months, and there were NO rotten smells or any other signs of decay - no insects even bothered to eat the food! Mold wouldn't grow on it either. But since the microbes can't decompose the food, then your body shouldn\'t be able to properly metabolize it either."
                                             
 As you can see, I couldn't find the exact answer of it and I feel that both video and the description made by MacDonald and unknown source are lack of evidence.

 Thankyou for watching :)

Fast foof nation

Hi, I'm Aira and I'm going to talk about the book I chose.
 
 This is the scond book since my first one was so boring that I even forgot the title of that book. Lol

 So the reason why I chose this book is simply because it's easy to read, though I'm a little bit afraid that I won't be able to eat fast food after reading this book.
 
 This book talks about the dark side of the All-American Meal. Hamburgers had a series of problems such as food poisoning and many people suffered from it.
 I think the author of this book warns us about eating too much fast food, since many people enjoy fast foof on account of convenience, resonable and ofcourse taste.
 
Thats it for my first post! Thankyou for reading :)
