The Japanese diet is vastly different than the common western diet in terms of ingredients used, portion size, preparation, and relationship between its users and their food.

It is important for people to eat healthy food and keep their immune system strong. People these days bought food that is cheap and available to them. They have to choices to eat healthy yet it is hard to control themselves against something that is convenient, low cost, and predictable.

Based on his explanations the only food are those capable of rotting, less than 5 ingrdients and with pronumbacble ingrdeients.

Fukuoka main point of this article is to inform people that there is more to eating than just the nutritional value and now the Western culture values the wrong ideas when it comes to fueling your body. He starts his article off by comparing the daily meal of ancient farmers to todays Western mothers. This comparison shows that even with out scientific facts the farmers were able to live long healthy lives with a simple diet of brown-rice and vegetables. The Western mothers he referred to force bad tasting food down their children’s throats because they believe that is the only way they will live long and strong. Another point Fukuoka makes is that the Western diet separates people from nature, “The diet that results serves to isolate human beings from nature. A fear of nature and a general sense of insecurity are often the unfortunate results” (72) this quote suggests the diet is pushing humans farther and farther from our roots. With this separation we are becoming more isolated and distancing ourselves from nature causing us to fear our very own

In “Escape from the Western Diet” Michael Pollan argues against the scientific theories of nutrition, and discusses the harmful effects, and chronic diseases associated with the Western Diet. Pollan offers an alternate view of a healthier lifestyle to escape the western diet that simply suggests that we “stop eating and thinking that way.” (Pollan 423) He explains that the food industry has changed the wholeness of our food, which causes us to eat unhealthier things such as fast food. He approaches a solution to these contradictory theories and science by focusing on a personal approach to eating that is based on the individual's view of food. Pollan three rules to create a healthier lifestyle are to “Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants” (Pollan 426) which suggest to eat “real” food in a new balanced and healthy way that creates a pleasurable approach of eating. I agree with Pollan’s concepts about the western diet and his rules of eating simpler.

As China’s population is estimated to reach 1.45 billion by 2020, the need to increase grain production by about 25% to satisfy the population growth is critical (Qiu, 850). As the main source of food in China, a shortage of rice supply would lead to devastating consequences. The genetically modified crops have been regarded as a promising solution by the Chinese government which can increase grain production hugely to satisfy the rapid population growth. However, there have been controversial views about GM rice, because the risks and negative effects of planting, growing and consuming GM rice can be hidden for a long time. It is important to ensure that the safety and risks of genetically modified crops are examined and analyzed fully before the crops are allowed for commercial planting.

With concerns of our day to day living we do not have enough time and budget to be choosy of the type of food or the nutritional value of it, what we think of nowadays is just to have something to satisfy our hunger without considering the nutrients that our body needs each day.

Deeter and Ventria are trying to get approval for commercializing pharmaceutical plants to produce medical proteins in rice. They are looking to expand beyond 50 acers to 120 in 2004. Therefore, they are subject to the CRC and Rice certification Act board. The first issue is outside critics. Per our text, the four advocacy organizations (friends of earth, center of food safety, the consumer union, and the environment California) produced a report addressing their concerns reporting to The California food and agriculture, The California EPA, California Health services and the public. The report stated that the first issue of concern was contamination of food rice. These groups do not want the rice that humans eat to be genetically altered by pharmaceutical rice. The contamination and cross polarization can occur by birds, insects, water fowl, and weather. Deeter and Ventria had no plans or protection to combat this issue. If these situations were to happen, they could cause hazardous human health issues. The consequences could be infections/diseases, allergies, stomach cancers, ulcers, resistance of digestion and immune system disorders and responses. The last issue addressed by this report was critical environmental consequences by accidentally cross-breading to produce a “super weed” promoting the spread of such.

When relying on such food, people suffer from various disease and gains weight too.

Eating is essential part of our lives, and it is a necessity for human survival as it is for all other living species. While all living organisms need to eat to survive human race has more ways on how to satisfy their eating necessity.

Eating out has become popular trend in today’s society, especially among younger generations. With wide variety in delicious food offered, and chance to enjoy it with your loved ones, eating out has become primary choice for many busy adults. Eating at home gives us an opportunity to enjoy diverse food choices as well, and it can be also enjoyed with family and friends alike. Cooking is one of the oldest crafts that has been passed down from our older generations, and is still popular among many that enjoy preparing food at home. While eating out and eating at home are similar in variety of delicious foods offered, and chance to share it with our families and friends, nutritional health value choices are different for each of them. Eating out offers less control on nutritionally healthy food choices, and eating at home gives you more control on what kind of nutritional foods are we consuming.
