This City Has the Most Expensive Fast Food, Study Shows

Have ever thought about where your food comes from, how it's made, and if it's really fresh? I recently watched a youtube video called Fast food chicken: Testing Subway, McDonald's, A&W, Wendy's & Tim Hortons. This video is a real eye-opener; I used to always eat at fast food restaurants because I didn't want to wait and make my food, but I recently stopped because I always got sick after. I then started to watch many videos about what really goes into the food I'm eating; it explained a lot. In this video, they test and give a percentage of how much actual meat is being used In fast-food chicken. They gathered around taste testers to order from their favorite fast food restaurants and asked the employees if it was fresh; the testers truly believed what they were eating was 100% real and fresh. To put it to the test, they placed down 7 chicken samples. 6 of them were fast-food restaurants and 1was home-cooked chicken. It was up to them to decide which tasted more like real chicken. After they all had their answer, they brought the lab results, which were tested by a scientist. Results showed that some of the restaurants came back less than 50% real chicken. Although these restaurants claim to use 100% chicken, results say otherwise. These restaurants add refined starches, different types of sodium, different salt combinations, etc.

 Consuming too much of these make it hard for our bodies to digest and can be harmful to our body. This made me want to be more careful in what I put in my body because this can cause health issues and obesity. I'm a bit more grateful for cutting off fast-food restaurants, even though I did miss them at times, but now I genuinely feel much better and healthier.

Entry 2: How I Learned to cook

Image
 Growing up my mom always tried to teach me to cook so If anything I could help myself make healthy home food instead of eating food that was not so comforting. At the age of 14, I started my freshmen year not knowing what classes to take. I talked to a counselor, who helped me pick out my classes. Time was already running out for me, so I had to choose quick. I asked If I could take a Weight training class because I loved working out and she said all the classes were full. At this point, I was very upset because I thought I would definitely fail. I didn't know anything about measuring, and all I knew was how to make anything besides eggs; at this point, I thought I would never get through this class because I wasn't interested. I tell my mother, she is very happy with the news. I always wanted to make my mother proud, so I told myself the best thing was to push through.  The first week was very rough for me. We were grouped into 4, and I was the only one who didn't underst...

Who am I?

 Hello! My name is Fatima Judai. I am 22 years old. I was born and raised here in Arizona. My family originally came from Iraq and moved here to Arizona. I have 6 siblings, 3 older brothers, and 3 younger sisters; surprisingly, we all get along well. One of my favorite activities I love doing is taking my dad's boat and driving to lake pleasant with the family, just to hang out, eat and watch the sunset. I am currently studying to become an ultrasound tech at Glendale community college and then soon transferring to Gateway community college. I'd been interested in how ultrasound worked and babies, so I thought this would be the perfect opportunity. On the side, I've been studying real estate as well. At 18, I passed my school test, and hopefully, by the end of the year, I will be licensed. As of right now, I am working with my aunt. She takes me out to show houses and helps me learn everything I need to know so I will be all set when I get my License.
