Food is a very important part of life and something that all humans eat in order to survive. There are many different types of foods on Earth, and if not processed the right way can be more harmful then beneficial. The first way that I judge my food is by taste. Taste is one of the five senses so I figure, I should put it to good use. Food is one of the best things in my life and many people's lives also. Food is generally most enjoyable when your young, as your metabolism is at it's best. Of course you still have to watch what you eat especially for us Americans, since our country has the highest obese percentages. The second most important way for me to judge food is by how it affects my body. As I have come to learn in my life, some of the best foods are very unhealthy for you. It can be very hard to avoid these foods since they are ever so tempting.
As I stated earleir obesity is quite a problem all over the world, but particularly in America. We have many fast food restaurants all over the country, and that combined with the media(advertisements, propaganda, etc) is enough to draw people to eating these unhealthy meals. To be honest I have even fallen victim to these advertisements myself. After my eight grade teacher Sadelle who used to teach at the school, alerted me of propaganda I have been better at hording off these cravings. Of course the companies know very well what there food is doing to people all over the world but they don't care and they just want to make money off us which they are doing a fine job of.
My typical lunch meal is usually purchased outside somewhere. Eating with the people that I like and love is very important to me since I don't get to do it at home, since my mom works nights thus, sleeping through the day and dinner time. My ideal meal is a fresh plain slice of pizza, pepporoni slice, or a bacon cheese slice. Eventhough this is terribly healthy it tastes good and I'm young so I get to enjoy myself a bit.
