Eating Light, Living Right
Proposal:
I'm from a South American Country where find fresh food is easy, when I came here the first time I had a huge conversation with the food and all the effect I was getting from the type of food i was feeding my body. Health issue and physical issue as well. After I watched the movie food matters , also Food inc, go to room for debate and read some articles abut the impact the food has in our body all the questions about eating and what kind of food I am feeding to my body started to be a question in my mind. I've had personal issue with food and all the eating habits in the past, that one of my main concerns always its been what kind of food I'm eating and what are the effects for my body not only related to my health but to my physical appearances as well. One of the facts and reason I'm so afraid to all kind of eating any food here in America without looking first to the nutritions facts and the origin of the food, I have been interested in the overweight and the dramatically changes people suffer in short period of time after having certain diet. America is one of the countries with high rates of overweight and of many deaths due this matter. US is a first world country which has a high technology advances and the development is higher in all sense, but for some reason all this issue about controlling the food such as where it comes from?, how is it growing?, what kind of ingredients are inside of it?, how important is eating properly and control the chemicals in the ADN of the fruit and so on. It's something hasn't been taken under control yet. however, they have regulate some of them but not the correct ones because the consequences are still higher and higher. That's why, I try to eat as much organic and natural food I can find in the stores. Nevertheless, All-Natural, Organic claims, are they worth it.?, this where my research question came from.
So far, I will mainly use three sources to support the research in this paper. The first two are the documentaries food matters and food inc from these sources I will gather information about the impact of the nutrients and super food , natural and fresh , and also how the food is being distributed. the third source is a main article name " why americans eat what they do" from this article I will subtracts the influences and importance of the food in Americans lifestyle. I will probably use more article and information I've been gathering during the journey of my research to prove and answer my question.
Process section:
Putting my information together for my paper its been a journey so far. First I watched the documentary food inc, right after the professor show us food matters. Then, when I get the assignment in room for debate I was so concerned that i wanted to check deeper the food field; I read the article that I used for room for debate about food and more questions start coming out. After I went to Delaware County Community College’s Library Guide to begin my search for resources. I looked for full texts and peer reviewed articles on topics including "food in america""organic and natural food". From those searches I found one article, which I had to order to they to find it because it wasn't free, but I got it days after in my email. Next I headed to Google scholar where I typed in similar phrases, except this time I added" organic and natural label". After gathering a few more websites, I filter my search about the importance or relevance about the organic and all natural labeling statements and I started to define where I want to explore more about this subject and matters as well because i noticed that are many misunderstanding about that particular statement and the companies are managing so conveniently.
When the time came to start to put my ideas down I start wondering what kind of information is really important and relevant for me and I find passionating about. The research information that i fun helped me realize what exactly I wanted to talk about in my paper. The influences of certain kind of food such as fast food and how good or bad are those are statements pretty well known and also been explored before. I also figured out that the point is the lack of the information or misunderstandings about what we are buying and we are reading. This information opened me many possibilities to go through my paper and discover the truth behind the labeling and how much worth it to eat something natural and organic. I will probably look at more articles and read more about it, and also leading me to a world that is known but its undiscovered yet because we know what we need to know and considered what its enough to know , but leaving a side all the facts, consequences and privileges behind the food we are hiding from.
