In the article “Food Babe travel essentials- No Reason to Panic on the Plane!” Food Babe claims various statements of different risks of being on a plane. You can see straight away that some of these claims are false but some are true due to the facts she tells us about. First of all, she claims that in an airplane our bodies get really compressed and we could develop “Economy Class Syndrome” and “DVT”. She also claims that the bodies digestive organs start to shrink and that it becomes harder for your body to circulate blood. This is something called cabin pressure. (Larson, George C.) Her statement is true because on airplanes you can develop slow circulation in your body from being crammed in a small space for long periods of time. It
Since the update of Canada’s Food Guide in 2007, many people, including experts such as doctors and dietitians, have criticized Health Canada and the government for the way they have presented Canadians with nutrition information and advice. Some have said that the portion sizes are incorrect, some say that the information on fats and oils can be misleading, scaring people into thinking that all fats are bad, some experts have even gone as far as to say that the information Health Canada has provided Canadians is not based on current scientific principles as the subject of food and nutrition is constantly evolving and changing every year. Though some criticisms and suggestions people are making with regards to Canada’s Food Guide sound a little

Canada’s Food Guide’s main strengths are its ease of use, scientific foundation, and its frequency of updates. Its weaknesses lie in the fact that simply consuming an adequate number of servings from each food group does not necessarily guarantee that an adequate amount of every nutrient will be obtained (in accordance with the DRI). Additionally, the difficulty of breaking down combination meals and the lack of information on serving sizes at restaurants may make it difficult to estimate how many servings of the various food groups are obtained.

The second chapter of the book called Cuisine and Culture by Linda Civitello, discussed the importance of grain, grapes and olives to Greece and Rome as well as other staple foods of those societies. One of the main discussion points within this chapter, was the history of wine. The book discussed how the Greek god, Dionysus, encouraged drinking wine for men only and how wine changed when the Roman God, Bacchus, took over Dionysus’s role. One interesting discussion the book featured was how Greeks believed “drinking purple wine from a purple vessel made of [amethyst] would cause the two purples to cancel each other out and negate whatever was in the wine that caused drunkenness” (Civitello 32). This theory of being able to drink and not get
Some of the negative effects that contribute to airplane accidents are related to fatigue.

For my food menu, I can say that I honestly had to due a lot of thinking to 'dish' out a good idea. For starters, the main dish of meal is a serving of Rice. One cup of rice contains 206 calories. The fat contained within the rice is about 0.4 grams. The rice also contains 2 milligrams of sodium and 55 milligrams of potassium. The total carbohydrates found in the dish equate to about 45 grams. White Rice, although not unhealthy, is not a significant source of any vitamins. However, when eaten in multiple 1 cup servings, it could accumulate to be a rather sufficient source of vitamin B-6 and of Magnesium. Also, each cup contains 4.3 grams of protein. This dish was decided as the main dish, as it doesn't differ to much from my family's cuisine,

One intriguing display in the African exhibit is “We Serve Guests a Favorite Dish”. In this display, there was a video and pictures that showed how to make the famous African dish, Chieboundienne or fish with red rice. This meal is one of the most well known African dishes, and is served for family and guests. The video included how the woman maked the stew. She used fish, snails, water, rice, sauce and cooked it in a pot over heat. This meal that she made yielded 20 people, and maked eight kilograms of rice. From viewing the display, people learn that cooking in areas of Africa is different than usually cooking in kitchens. Many people have to grow and get the ingredients for themselves instead of going to the store to buy it. Also, Africans
