Has the move toward eating more locally grown and/or organic food, along with recent books like Ominvore's Dilemma and Fast Food Nation, made you change your eating habits or way of living in any way?

1 Answer

Answer :

The movie “Super Size Me” definitely makes me think twice about McDonalds now. Not that I ever ate there much before, but now I hesitate before even buying the little fruit/nut cup from them. Also, I have become much more of a recycling fiend now that I’m living on my own. Because of different media that I’ve been expose to, I definitely think more about what I’m putting into my body and into the environment.
