Summary of Ammonia article
“Kill ourselves”
We eat hamburgers almost every day, but there is shocking news. Ammonia – injected beef is used for hamburgers. And the ammonia – injected beef comes from a company called Beef Products, Inc. Also many school lunch programs used a whopping 5.5 million pounds of ammonia – injected beef. One of the serious problem is the ammonia doesn’t have to be tested. Because the ammonia injection process was deemed so effective, the meat products were thought to be safe beyond any question. We eat window cleaning and glass cleaning products every day, Also our children do. We need to think about it very seriously.

Summary of chapter 2
When many companies copy McDonald’s they want to make more money. So what did the companies do? They changed the “target” from adults to children. Companies realized that control children are easier than adults. Because children like toys, and they just need to sell their products with toys. After that, many companies worked together and made advertisement. Also they know children like collect every parts of toys that they want. So companies made many versions of styles at same toys. Children nag to their parents and parents will have to but the food with toys for them. It has a big effect and it won’t stop. They should stop brain-washing to children.

Summary of the book Chapter 2
According to Chapter 2 of “Chew on this” by Eric Schlosser& Charles Wilson, many companies copied McDonald’s and they started to change the world. They aimed at children, because children don’t always think deeply. They like the toys and they will do whatever they can for the toys, so companies just used those children’s skills. I saw many times when I was in China. Children want to get the toys, so they nag to their parents, but parents didn’t buy them. Children started to cry and stop eating. Some parents bought the toys for children, but it has same result. They don’t eat. Children already got brain wash. So I would say the companies should upgrade their food quality. They used toys to hook children, it’s not illegal. But they should focus on children’s health. They put chemical in the food and drinks, make them taste good. It makes children fat. They only care about the money. The companies should stop it and they should improve their food quality because children are our future.

Dear friend,
Hey there! I’m so excited with that you will come to NYC. Here is the plan. I’ll guide you. First you need to go see the Statue of Liberty. It’s beautiful! And you may need to go Bareburger. That is an amazing restaurant. You know what? There are many restaurants that sell burgers in bad way, but Bareburger makes burgers with no chemicals and the other shit. They have burgers that you can choose what do you like to put in. Also you can eat what they make for you. I know you like ice cream, and they do have savory ice cream! Sounds very exciting, doesn’t it? Don’t worry about it. I made a big plan that you can eat whatever you want! My teacher Anthony is coming, so I need to take the class. Call me when you arrive here.

Writing #9, Summary of Chapter 7
According to “Chew on This” by Eric, the fast food chains have grown, and some effects. In the past 30 years, people didn’t have fat problem. Today, they work in offices, talk on the phones, drive to the malls and sitting on their butts for most of the day. Obesity kills more than twice as many people every year as car accidents. Then, people do gastric bypass surgery, which means cut out their stomach to smaller. So they have to eat 6cups of meal per 1 day. Also obesity affects the world. For example, today McDonald’s is by far the largest restaurant chain in Japan. Once you’ve got so many fat cells, it’s hard to get rid of them. Finally, it will cause to disease like heart attack, blood vessels broken, and killing brain tissue.
There are many ideas from chapter 7, but the most of important idea is the people get obese. One out of Four people eat fast food every 5minutes and 42% of American get obese. Some people are busy and they don’t have time to cook. They just go to the fast food store to get some burgers and fries for their brunch. They don’t know what they eat, it might have a big problem.
We need face to these problems. It’s killing us at the other way. Also we should decide what we eat seriously. Food is the first thing in the life. We have to think about what we need to eat, because no one cares us. For example, I eat a lot of disgusting garbage. I have to do surgery that cut my stomach smaller and get pain, not the other people. It’s that simple.
Finally, before you eat those disgusting garbage, Think about where the food came from, about how and where it was made, about how many calories and how much fat will you get. Then turn and stay away from those stores. It’s not too late. Even in this fast food nation, you can still have it your way.

People like to buy cars, clothes, bags and electronic devices. When they buy those products, they really care about the quality and how it made. In fact, the most important thing that they need to pay attention to is the food. Actually, many people don’t care about what they eat and prices. For example, when they buy a pair of shoes, they check how it made and the percentage of the material. But when they eat a potato chip or drink a can of Cola, they don’t even look at the ingredients in it. The food were made with a lot of chemicals and all labels on their products say Fat-free, Sugar-free or Zero calories. It is a lie. Especially Diet Cola, it is even worse than Cola. Every single person eats four tea-spoons of sugar per a day in America. That’s why 42% of Americans get obese.
“Hungry for change” talked about many ideas. The most interesting idea is that people know it could kill them, but they still take those garbage anyway. Food is the only thing we put in the mouth and it is absolutely necessary. Clothes and other accessories are just making us to look good, we not going to die without those things. On the other hand we can’t live without food at least one week! But we don’t care about what we are eating every day and where they from. There is not thing more important than the thing that we put into our mouth.
Even though we live in the world which is around disgusting garbage, we still can control ourselves and we have options. For example, juicing vegetables together and drinking them every day gives a lot of vitamins. Doing exercises are also good for us. Unfortunately some people have ugly face, so they make up. The most important is our mind control, always thinking in the good way. God gave us a perfect body. we don’t have to destroy it by ourselves.

Summary of CAT-W practicing

According to the article” Taxing Sodas” by New York Times, in order to reduce obesity, the government is taxing soda. So people buy less soda and also government can get the money to help poorer people. Poor people, who lack healthy food choices, too often overload on sugar-laden soft drinks.
I read a book that called “Chew On This”. It said 42% Americans get obese. Some of them have to have surgery that makes their stomach smaller, and it’s obviously risky. Even though soft drinks are not the only cause of obesity, people in lower-income areas tend to suffer more from obesity, diabetes and other obesity-related illnesses.
This passage reminds me of my friend Tom, the guy who drinks a lot of soda and eventually gained weight. He was thinner than me, but after he drinks soda he was getting fat. In China we could get free one if we got a reward under the cover. I was crazy for it in a while too. It was cheap and the percentage of getting free one is high, so we got win-win. But if there are no more activity like that and tax on soda will change the people like him. It will be no reason to buy it anymore. The companies just want to sell soda to us, but they don’t care about how much sugar that we eat and even it causes many disease. The government should not only tax on soda, because some people don’t care about money. They will keep drinking it. Government should control those soda companies and make it better, make it healthier, so it doesn’t hurt us.
Sugar is not necessary for our body. Avoid soda will reduce our sugar-intake. Also it saves money. We are what we eat, so we need to choose what we need exactly.

Cat-W style essay from CH 43
According to the “Food Rules”, Wine is good for us, especially red wine is a much more healthful drink compared to all other alcoholic beverages. Red wine is a health benefit for individuals in that it lowers the risk of heart disease.
It is an interesting idea because scientists proved that the people who drink a little wine every day live longer than the people who don’t.
But it depends on how much you drink. People love to drink wine. When they happy, they even turn to heavy drinkers. So they get headache, burst blood pipe or get liver problems. It is serious problem that the way of they drink wine.
It reminds me of my friend’s father’s death. Also he was a friend of my father. So they usually drink together. Every time he gets drunk, my father or the other person sent him to home. My father told me that when they drink, he always drinks faster than other people and drink too much. My father told him many times as a friend, but he didn’t take it seriously. Finally, he died of a heart attack. We were so sorry about that.
This passage also reminds me that my grandmother after she drinks wine with dinner every day, she reduced blood pressure and wrinkles. Also she could sleep well.
In conclusion, I would say the wine is good for health. But we must drink it in moderation. If you doing it right way, you might live longer than the other people. But if you doing too much, it gives you diseases and even it might kill you.

Summary of Green market
There is a nice place that produces 100% organic food. Millport Dairy is located in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. They feed the cows with grass and around on the pasture on the farm and get fresh Lancaster County air. They make raw milk, cheddar, horseradish, and the other products. The point is that all of those goods are absolutely organic.
How do you kill the cows?
What do you do when cows get sick?
What is the difference between these and the products in supermarket?

Essay about Green market
We eat a lot of processed food and drink a lot of chemicals, even though we know those are not good for our body. Because life is getting busy and most people don’t have time to eat breakfast, so they just get some fast food for it. Many people don’t care what they eat. they just care about what they like to eat.
Where is the food from? People make bread with hair for softly, put MSG in the food for taste delicious, put chemicals and a lot of sugar in drinks. Actually we eat a lot sugar every day, because most food that we buy in supermarket is made with sugar. But there are some places that still selling organic food.
The point is that companies don’t pay more attention on their benefits than people. Especially food companies are worth than the other companies. They even make fake food for make money. Food is the most important thing in our life. We don’t need to wear expensive clothes. We don’t need to use electronic devices every day. But we can’t live without food even a day. Those companies like McDonald’s and Burger Kings are technically killing us.
We’ve been to The Green Market and Certa’s Pizza, The places that keep selling organic food. They grow animals and plants in their own farms with no chemicals, their food are clearly safe to eat. We were happy for there are still have organic food that we can get.
In conclusion, people should pay attention on what they eat, not luxury accessories or brand new products. We are what we eat. Keep eating fake food is a kind of suicide. Life is short and we don’t have money in pockets when we get into the tomb. Spend money on food is more important than buy a luxury car.

What I believe
I believe that have a good relationship with people is not caring for them, doing everything for them. People cannot live alone, so they need friends and help each other. I thought a good friend should do anything for each other in unselfish, not for benefits, just because we are friend.
I was a good person in the past. I had a good personality, and offer my help when people need me. Every time my friends asked me for help, I didn't care about what kind of problem it was. I just said OK. Also I did whatever I can to help and even didn't care about the consequence. I thought their problems as mine, I even felt guilty I couldn't help them. Because I hope when I needed their help, they did what I did for them.
After I came to the United States, I didn't have any friends. I just could keep in touch with my friends who are in China. But I believed that I could find new friends and start a new life. I started to go to school and met new people and offer my help when people need me. Eventually, I made some friends. I tried to have some activities with them, but they were busy. Sometimes they called me and asked me for help just like I owned them. I didn't care and did same thing that I did in the past. One day, I felt bored and I called those friends. Most of them were working, having dinner with family, stay with parents or girlfriend. It was my first time that I had nothing to do with my cell phone.
Finally, I realized people just use each other. We are not friends, we are acquaintances. Then, I learned to envy people. I learned to think about that kind of person he is or what did he do for me. Also I knew that how stupid I was. When I helped them, they acted like I was a nice friend to them. But apparently I felt I was a pathetic idiot. When I couldn't offer them to help, they look at me like it is obviously my bad and they will find someone else. So I decided that I'm done with be a nice person.
In conclusion, I'm going to say have a good relationship is not doing anything for them. They own me nothing as same as I do. In the future, I will think about what is more important before I help them and it is not necessarily break the relationship. Do what I got have to do and don't make myself feel guilty.
