FOOD/ comida

Eating food is a really good and delicious thing in life. I have always liked foods that taste really good and left me satisfied. I know that there are a lot of foods that I like that are really bad for me, like chips, cookies, and sodas, but I mean who does not like those things? They are so good. I have not ever had a problem with being fat or had any other health problems, and I eat healthy foods like apples a lot of the time. One of my favorite snacks that are healthy for you are “ants on a log”. Its HELLA good, its celery with peanut butter schmeared on top and then raisins stuck in the peanut butter. It has protein and vegetables so it is good for you. I have them almost everyday when I get home after school and they are not even that hard to make. It takes me like ttwo minutes to make like ten of them and that is an epic meal!

A lot of people in today’s world do not watch what they eat and its really bad for the health of the entire nation. Everyone just eats food like macdonalds and jack in the box without thinking about how it is going to change how they live later on in life. They just eat whatever the see and do even think about it. It’s a problem that is killing so many people in this world that we really need to start thinking about it. It will not be easy, I know that I will have trouble starting to turn my eating habits and general diet around but I know that if I do the payoff will be better than what I think it will be now. I will be around longer to see my kids have kids and be a more involved person in the world because I will be able to get up off my fat ass and actually do some work around the house, community, or at other places where things need to get done. Its not going to be easy but it is simple , there is a difference.

What I want to get from eating right is a life that I can be happy about and actually be able to play sports and run around when I am like thirty, forty, fifty, or even sixty. It’s a great feeling for me to know that I have been placed in a good place to live a health lifestyle, I live in a place where money is not the biggest worry and I have the choice to eat better if I want to. That is a lot more than people who live in some of the surrounding cities that can barely scrape by on the minimal and unhealthy life that they live. Because, lets face it, if you want to life healthier and longer in today’s world you must be willing to pay a little more here for a gym membership or here for fresh food at a farmers market. So that is why I choose to make it a goal of mine to eat better as a whole and take charge in what I am putting into my body.
