Come to England Mates

The overall health
implication of the food in England is good. It is much healthier in England
than here in America. Their food is tasty, and a lot of it is organic. Healthy
food is expensive, but most people don’t realize how important it is to eat
well. England’s meals are portioned out. For example, in my last blog I talked
about the Sunday Roast they get a certain amount of servings and use the left
overs for meals throughout the week.
England is trying to improve
their health system just like America. It all depends on the food you do choose
to eat; it has many different cultural foods. People try to swap out their
unhealthy French fries "chips" to two servings of vegetables. Many people do go out to
eat, but restaurants there are much more healthier than in America. England
uses certain oils, and making the food healthier for the system. Comparing the
McDonalds in America vs. the McDonalds in England, in England it is much
better (in health wise) but not as tasteful according to most Americans.
I believe there is a similar
shift in the American diet. Many Americans are trying to be healthier, buying
organic foods, cutting back on going out to eat, and preparing meals at home. I
would say I eat healthy on most days, but then have an off day. I try to
balance my meals and exercise when possible. I want to have a long lasting life
and with eating healthy and exercising I may be able to do so. Food and health
are portrayed throughout the novel. Food indicates the characters feelings.
With the emotions of the character it affects the taste of the meal. The
recipes show how tasty the ingredients are but it needs special prep work to
make it delicious.
Good to know that England has a healthy and natural country. It excites me for all the natural recipes they make.
