Peer Review 2

I reviewed Paula’s blog post about “Real” vs. “Fake” foods. She talked about how she used to eat real hamburgers that were made on a grill with real homemade French fries. Now, because she is in college and has fewer resources to good homemade meals, she has switched to the “fake” version of hamburgers and French fries. She gave information about how there are chemicals in these “fake” foods and how they are not beneficial to one’s health.

Paula also referred to an article by Dr. Leslie Van Romer talking about how many foods that our families eat are processed and have been altered from their original state. The article gives great information about how foods become processed and refined. It also talks about how preservatives are added to foods which adds additional chemicals that one shouldn’t put in their body on a regular basis.

I completely agree with Paula’s arguments and opinions regarding “Real” versus “Fake” food. She raises a good point about the chemicals that one is ingesting when he or she consumes a processed food or product. Her switch to the “Fake” hamburger and fries in college is completely understandable because she doesn’t have the time, money, or cooking utensils to make a quality meal. She notes that she will go back to eating the real thing this summer when she is with her family, which I think is a wonderful idea.
