In the chapter 6...

In the chapter 6, the author introduced genetically modified (GM) technology. This is a new agricultural technology and it can a possibility to keep the natural resources and decrease the number of starvation victims, so the poor farmers in developing countries have been using this way.

 

It can be possible to make a large amount of products at relatively low cost. In developing countries, there are many starvation victims, so it will be useful for these countries.

 

And recently, the number of international agricultural search centers has been increasing in the world, according to this book.

 

So, in the future, this agricultural method will spread more and more in the world particularly in developing countries.

Five foods which have perfect nutrition values to lose weight healthily

This video made me notice what we should really take for low calorie diet. Salmon, quinoa, bananas, oats and white eggs; these food have relatively high calories, but they are good fat which is essential for our bodies to keep health.

 

Actually, when I was on a diet, I tended to avoid eating almost all of them because I thought these have very high calories. Especially, I never ate bananas which is known to one of the highest fruit. I didn’t know that banana help suppresses appetite and contains high level of potassium.

 

I could change my idea by watching this video. To lose weight healthily, what we should do is not just to reduce the amount of food we eat but to eat foods which have essential nutrition for our bodies.

After watching the movie "Planeat"

 

I watched the whole movie of Planet in this winter vacation.

After watching the movie, I thought that I should reconsider my eating habits.

 

To be honest, I thought at first that being vegetarian is a little too extreme because I thought it would be necessary to eat also meat to keep our health, but the scientists made me think what is right or really necessary for us to protect the environment in the world.

Before watching this movie, I thought that we can’t choose what is really good for us.

 

However, I found that our current dietary habits leads to even further global warming and increase the number of cancer patients as the scientists mentioned.

Considering these things, vegetarian may be the best for us or the environment, I thought.

This movie will teach you what we should really do now and I recommend you to try to watch it.

 

my restaurant review

I went to “Tamana Shokudo” which provides healthy and low calories with organic products. Almost of all menus are vegetable-based diet, so it is said that many women visit there at lunch time.

 

There are three reasons why I chose this restaurant.

First, it is near Aoyama Gakuin University, so it is accessible from here.

 

Second, I wanted to go to a restaurant that has cheap prices and is delicious. I collected a lot of information from the Internet, and here the most satisfy our conditions.

 

Third, I became interested in organic food after reading my book “Food for All.” This book taught me the advantages of organic to keep our health. So, I want to take the opportunity to challenge the organic food.

 

As preparing for visiting there, I thought that I need to learn about organic more and more, for example, what merit it can be expected that it has for our health or why it is said that the organic food is good for us. So, I read my food related to book to learn the organic.

 

I prepared for some criteria such as their survice, the meal’s quality, surroundings and so on.

 

At the same time, there was a problem as someone mentioned. That was that we lose the way to the restaurant. Actually, the restaurant was not so conspicuous, so it took a little time to find there. So, before visiting there, you had better check the map and if you go, you should bring it.

 

About the dishes, it was so wonderful and amazing. I ordered a spaghetti with shio-koji and tomato sauce. And it contains walnut and many kinds of mushrooms. So, I could enjoy the meal because of the special and new taste of the dish.

 

But, I was shocked at one thing. That is its interior design. The server showed us to counter table. When I was seated, I wanted to put my bag anywhere, but there is no space for putting my bag, so I had to keep my bag on my knees. Unfortunately, the restaurant is too small, so there are no extra spaces. That is one of the shocking points.

 

And, another point is that the passage way is too narrow. And, you must park your car at coin parking area because there is no free parking area.

 

But, except of these things, it was enough for me because the dish was so taste and the server gave us a cup of hot tea for free. I want to go there again and recommend you to visit there.

The amazing lecture about Second Food Harvest

It was really amazing lecture for me! Charles McJilton taught me a lot what I didn’t know until I listened to his lecture.

 

First, there are 19.5 million people who are suffering from poverty in Japan, however, most of them are not homeless or beggar. Those who receive food from 2HJ (Second Food Harvest) are like fatherless families, the elderly citizens, the poor foreigners and so on.

 

Unfortunately, the number of the people who need 2FJ’s help are increasing day by day.

 

His lecture made me think what to do to curb the situation.

One of the answers is to do my absolute best what I can soon. After listening to his lecture, I felt more that I want to participate in their activities as soon as possible.

By reading the book "Food for All"

I have been reading the book, “Food for All”, it can teach me what the agriculture should be in the future. By the before, people have depended too much on chemical fertilizer or pesticide and so on.

 

 As a result, they could temporarily get material wealth, but instead of that, that they lost a lot of things. At the same time, it occurred some serious problems.

 

During the World War ⅠandⅡ, the countries of colonialism had made the famers in their colonies cultivate only one kind of product to gain their immediate profit only.

It can stated that the trigger for the issue of hunger was their behaves.

 So now, these countries are suffering from the lack of output and trying to change to inter agriculture from mono agriculture. But, considerable cash will be needed to do it.

 

Also, the value of organic farming is being reappreciated all over the world. However, it can also be expected to cost a large amount of money, unfortunately…

 

To curb the situation, the developed countries, especially the former colonial rulers, should provide the developing countries the expenses necessary for renovation of their agricultural method. They must help these countries because they have responsibilities to solve their serious problems.
