LOCOVORE!


What is a locovore?  Many of us know what a carnivore is or a herbivore but what is Locovore? And why many people are becoming aware of this term. Well a Locovore is a person who ONLY eats food that is produce around a certain distance from their home. I believe for a person to be a locovore it is extremely hard since most of us live in the metropolitan area eating something that was planted in the backyard of a building, won’t be such a great idea.  I personally cant live without mushroom burger, and the commit from home to the restaurant is about 30min, so I personally doubt I can become a locovore.

Organic Mania!


ORGANIC organic! 

      The word "Organic" has become a popular words since the past couple of years, it  is being used in all different concepts regarding food, Whether you are strolling down the fruit isle or to the meat section, you are bound to have a huge logo saying " ORGANIC". 
Behind the labels the FDA guarantees us with labels telling us that this particular item is indeed an organic product.
     being brain washed by our media who are constantly  telling us that if we are eating organic products we can have a healthier lifestyle and fight against obesity . Although, we all have to stop and think if what we are being told is for our benefits or there. The price of an organic lettuce can range up to $5 whereas a “regular” lettuce can be found for $2, personally on my budget I cant afford to pay a few bucks more just being it label “organic”
     On my personal belief I don’t truly trust what the labels say, since there has been items that has been approved by the FDA and within few months there is reports of having misleads of what has been approved. From my understanding I think that certain chemicals that are found in our food is beneficial to us since it eliminated certain bacteria that are being grown.
