Misleading labels should be banned

Opinion blog post Imagine yourself walking in the supermarket or grocery store. You’ll see aisle after aisle of packaged food with various labels. You can almost feel them shouting nonsense at you. You get attracted to them by the words “all natural” or “low in fat” etc. , but what most people forget is that more than 50% of those labels are misleading. In 2003, there was a study by the Costumers Association. They found some foods branded as “light”, had up to seven times more fat then those who branded as “low fat”. Nearly 59% of consumers have a hard time reading nutrition labels.

Opinion blog post: superfoods

The start of a healthier lifestyle? Superfoods! We all know that there are a lot of foods that aren’t all that healthy for us.

If you aren’t up for that, superfoods –if you ask me- might be the key to a healthier lifestyle. Ansley Hill states they these superfoods, such as kale, berries, nuts and seeds, olive oil and even eggs, are rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Superfoods, according to “The health benefits of superfoods”, are considered nutrient powerhouses that provide a lot of antioxidants and certain chemicals that are naturally in plants. Therefore most superfoods are plants or plant based, but like eggs, some dairy and fish also m

Eating culture of North America

Image
Food is a very important topic in our life. But how was the food at times of North American Indian? And how did it develop? Now I will give a brief insight into the change in food culture in North America from Indian times to today. At times of Indians they chased her food. The main food were meat of animals from the forest and fish for example deer and seals. The meat was cooked, grilled, smoked or eaten raw. Also much food was plants and berries because they were very easy to collect. Because there was no medication like today, crops and medicinal plants were also used very often. By the way the Indians of North America were the first people who grow potatoes, tomatoes, corn, beans and pumpkins. It can be concluded that these ingredients were also very important staple foods. Also an important food was wild rice which they also grew themselves. So the Indians mainly ate vegetables, plants and meat and have actually lived very healthy and they produced of course no
