Ariella Green Week 2: Wasted Food

  Ariella Green Week 2: Wasted Food

Don’t ya hate when food goes bad or wasted. There are some people in this world that are not mindful of this type of problem. Sometimes food goes bad intentionally or unintentionally, and we are not perfect, but we should try and never waste food. I personally hate having to throw out that avocado in the fridge that turned brown because I forgot to eat it. The other day I went out to dinner for Italian food. Well unfortunately, I left my leftovers in the car all night and my food spoiled. Instead of using my leftovers for another meal, I had to throw them out. 

Fortunately, most of the people I know have never experienced what it’s like to be hungry and not have enough food in their home. All the time I see young children throw out perfectly good food. Why do they throw it out? The answer is because they just don’t like it or want to eat it. I don’t love to eat every food, but if that’s what’s been given to me to eat, I eat it. In some impoverished households, if the food goes bad they might not be able to buy more or they’ll go hungry. 

I am so thankful that I have a balanced meal on my plate three times a day because so many people in the world are not as fortunate. I feel terrible if I discover that something I could’ve eaten for a meal has gone bad. To prevent food from going bad, I can do my best to keep my fridge organized, and always do my best to prepare meals with food that spoils first. 


Do you have any solutions that can help prevent food from being wasted?

    I agree 100% that wasted food is just awful. Coming from South Africa, I have seen what real poverty and starvation looks like for so many people living there.

    I love that you have gratitude for the things you have. I have the issue that sometimes the food gets pushed behind something else and I forget it's there. SO frustrating! Additionally, most of my family will only eat leftovers for a day, and I cook huge portions, so I end up eating the majority of leftovers myself. I do it, though, because I hate the waste of food!

Ben Nikpour - Week 10: Oscar Viewers are Dropping

Image
     Before a few days ago, I did not know much about the Oscars. I knew it was an award show, but besides that, I was basically clueless. It wasn’t until the Will Smith and Chris Rock situation that I spent the time to look into what the Oscars are.       For some background, the Oscars, properly known as the Academy Awards, are awarded to artists in the film industry. The first show was in May of 1929. At its peak, in 1998, the Oscars brought in over 55 million viewers; that same year was the release of one of the biggest movies of all time: Titanic. Since then, viewers have been dropping. In 2020, the Oscars had their lowest amount of viewers with only 24 million people watching the event. In 2021, the Oscars broke their 2020 record of lowest viewers by only bringing in less than 11 million people. This year the Oscars brought in close to 17 million viewers which is an improvement but not by much. Award shows like the Grammys, Emmys, Golden Globes, ...

Noah Bard Week 1 - The Misunderstanding of our Modern-Day Gladiators

Image
   When I hear the word gladiator, I Immediately think of the Colosseum and humans being eaten by lions. However, times have changed, and so has the term gladiator. I’m talking about the sport of MMA, and more specifically, UFC fighters. Besides the few million crazed fight fans out there like myself, the current consensus about MMA is that it’s stupid. At face value, it’s a very sensible conclusion to make. Why in the world would anybody want to risk their lives on national television, or in that case at all? Well, here’s why.      Every day before that bell rings, these men and women are mastering the art of fighting. It takes much more than just supernatural athleticism; it ultimately comes down to the fighter's mental fortitude. Every slight move in the eyes, feet, and hands of your opponent must be taken into account to win. It’s a common stereotype to think that fighters aren’t very smart and not only because of what they do for a living, but oftentimes it...

Ariella Green Week 7: The Airport

  Ariella Green Week 7: The Airport      Don’t ya hate going to the airport?       I absolutely can not stand going to the airport. As I’m sure most of you know, I am very organized and like to plan out everything. When things don’t go according to the plan, it stresses me out.       Thursday morning, I assumed I would have an easy experience flying from PBI to JFK on JetBlue airlines. Little did I know, there would be many little bumps along the way that I had to deal with while trying to catch my flight.       First, we arrive at the airport at around 10:30 for our 11:45 flight. I personally believe that you should always give yourself enough time at the airport, so you don’t have to rush at the gate or if you want to make a purchase. We also had to face the challenge of finding somewhere to park, which is nearly impossible sometimes. After searching for a while, we found...
