Food+Journal

= What did you learn from creating your own food journal? =


 * When watching "[|SUPER SIZE ME]" we learned that eating too many calories daily can result in health problems such as heart disease, strokes, heart attacks, high cholesterol, and various other conditions that can be avoided by eating less junk and more healthy foods. So we guess that your next question is what's healthy and what's not... right? Well, unlike the common misconception that an apple a day keeps the doctor away..... unless it's organic, we would like to point out that the conventional apple may not help all that much. As we researched what we ate and not ate we found out that all conventional fruits and vegetables can actually be very bad for you. They are so loaded with pesticides and unnatural preservatives that they can cause long term damage. We kept a journal of what we ate for 5 days. We wrote down everything we ate and drank during those days. We put all our data in an excel spreadsheet and looked up the nutritional value of the food we ate. Most of us have very bad eating habits. The of the foods was pretty bad. We eat a lot of junk food too, like hot Cheetos, candy and other unhealthy junk food. We looked up the ingredients in the food and there was hardly anything nutritious. It still tastes good. I guess we are addicted to all the preservatives, salts, artificial flavors and empty calories. I hope to eat better from now on.**
