Reflection: Healthy eating, Sustainaible eating, systems thinking

The video Ms. Cindy showed me in class taught me that humnan are really selfish. Over the years, people started getting fat. And the reason why is that the number of fast food and unhealthy food increased rapidly. Getting fast food became easier and cheaper than getting healthy food like vegetables. I think we should change the system of food,if we don't change something will happen to us and the world. I really want people to go back and live a healthy life.

Reflection Back to the start

This video showed me how selfish people are. Animals such as pigs, cows sacrifice its life just for people's meal. We might think it's ok to eat because other people are eating and it's impossible to stop. But if we show people how selfish we are, people will start to change. I decided to be half vegeterian after watching video. I really want animals to be free and live along the environment.
