In Health and carreer my teacher decided that an assignment should be to make a portrait of ourselves. The catch is that we had use all the foods we eat to create it. I’m not a picky eater so I had tons of selection. I actually had a harder time deciding what foods would fit best rather than what foods I could use. I decided that I should be honest with myself and put a bunch of foods that aren’t exactly healthy. I put in a mix of healthy and unhealthy. At first it looked like a blob and like it needed a lot of work. After a while I had gone through a couple ideas of each part I finally found the right combination to make a food shaped body. My food choices aren’t necessarily the best, but it turns out a lot of foods that are bad for you work for body parts. To be honest I should cut down on my sugar and deep fried food intake.
These two memes explain me quite a bit. I’m now trying to be more disciplined. I feel that this photo also explains my eating habits quite a bit as well.
I have a chicken wing for a head, tomatoes for eyes, apples for ears, banana for a mouth, pickles for eyebrows, french fries for ears, protein powder for a torso/neck, celery for arms and hands, mars bar and snickers bar for legs, and fuzzy peaches for feet. After I wrote that I realized that is a quite a bit of different types of foods. Part of the assignment was to reflect on these videos we were told to watch. The first video I watched was about how much meat we eat compared to how much we actually need, it also talked about foods being shipped opposed to local foods. I thought that its pretty horrible how people are shipping foods from so far away for basics. It is also horrible how much livestock is killed each year and we don’t even need to eat that much meat. We are only supposed to eat .5 pound of beef each day and that’s how much on average an american eats a day. The second focuses on obesity and hungry people in this world. There are 1 billion hungry people and 1 billion obese people, to me that doesn’t sound right. The person who was talking was focused on feeding people in countries that didn’t have very much food. Just thinking about it makes me think of how good I have it living in such a nice place with all of the privelages I have.
That’s what my food body looks like what would yours, eh.
