Food Consumption

My brother showed me this TED video about food. It reminded me of all of the times we've eaten at Burger King and how Mc Donald's is treated as if it's a special prize for kids. Gross.
I remember I was obsessed with these cheese fries in Hawaii and my friend Al got on my back about it. He told me it was one of the most unhealthy things I could be eating. At first I was kinda mad because I liked the fries so much. I knew he was right the whole time though I didn't want to admit it because I wanted the fries.
Now my brother is on this juicing kick and it really is infectious. I love making smoothies again and I've even found some ingredients I prefer to get the desired taste.
When it comes down to it, what you eat can make a big difference in how you feel. Balance and moderation are huge components in the equation, which becomes challenging to a society constantly exposed to over consumption.
So, I like this talk and the wish of this Jamie Oliver guy. I'll try to think of ways to share what I'm eating, to find and share better ingredients for life.
