This thanksgiving I went upstate for the holiday. I think that we did both. early in the morning we watch the parade together as a family talked and laughed. Then we sat in the kicten and talked about chirstmas and we talked about what is going on in the new. Then We danced around before eating and a little after eating. We listen to a little bit of old school music. We also watched the football game and then watched the chris rock stand-up comedy. And after watching it we started talking about avatar and the point of the movie. And before leaving we made fun of how a lot of black and spanish people "act".
And with my grandmother just finish having surgery on her knee we try to help her with things so that she does hurt her self. But me being the"badone" in the family i think that after 5 month she should be doing alittle bit more then what she is doing. So I help her with somethings but I think that she needs to get stong again so she needs to do somethings. And with my aunt in California not feeling with my mom thinks that something is wrong with her but we just call to see if she is ok but don't talk to much until she is ready to talk about it.
I think that when it comes to me I don't talk about people illness but after a while I start to talk about it and stuff I feel that is the only way to make yourself better is if you deal with. And maybe it is nit the best way to handle it but I think it is and people never want to talk about how they want people to treat them so I go off what I would want and what I would fell comfortable with.

When it comes to illness and dying I never think about it nor do I want to think about. I mean I know I going to die and that I have to die but I just can't picture what life would be like without me or think about how I will not be able to think feel or move. I think that is going to be hard to do this unit because of the fact that I am scared to think abaout that thought. And with most people not wanting to talk about things that can kill us I don't think that we will all be open to everything.
The idea in my house is that we don't need to go to the hospital. My mom feels that if you sleep it off the cold would go away or if you have aids that fact that you just deal wityh it you will live longer. So we kind believe that if you have a positive look on things life will be better. I do feel that is true and I think that when I see people in the hospital I try to lighten their day so that they can see the positive side of life so make them laugh.
But I do think that if I was sick I would not want anyone to see me. I think that I would want to be myself to get my rest so that I can get out of there. But I am dying and I know that I am not going to live an longer I want people that I am going to miss. But I really never thought about to say. and hopeful I will learn more about to deal with dying as this unit begins.

For my final project I decided to eat fruits for lunch instead of meat. It was not that hard like alot of people thought it would be because I did it before so I use to it but even when I did it for the first time years ago it was not hard to do. I think it was beacuse I like fruit.
What I saw while I was eating fruits as that I was a little more happy then I was when I was not eating fruits (expert for one day. But I saw that I was more happy to come to school and that I wanted to do everything. I also saw that I would not feel so tired during the day.
I would eat more fruit but when it gets cold the fruit man is not as much as he is during the summer and spring and then to go to a store downtown is more money tehn in the bronx.

Chapter 17- My Grass-Fed Meal: A week's pay

Before I left the farm friday I pulled together the ingredients of what ended up being an amazing dinner. These ingredients consisted of 2 of the chicken we had slaughtered, a dozen eggs i helped gatrher and a dozen ears of sweet corn. The evenings meal included other things so I picked out local produce. I wanted this meal to be bar code- free.

Chapter 18- The Forest: Survivor Food

I decided to hunted myself and get my own food. The hunt reminded me of times when I would to hunt for clams and mushrooms with my family. It would be the last option on our food chain. I heard about Angelo Garro a hunter who hunts for his food, so i wanted him to teach me his skills. So that I could get health food like him. Soon enough would become my tutor.


Chapter 19 - Eating Animals; The Meat Eater's Dilema
It was a long time since the thought of eating meat had crossed my mind. In reality it was a dilema. After owning my own steer and killing cones in Joel Salatins processing shed i knew the things that these animals had went through. So i had a lot of thoughts about it . Peter Singer wrote a book called Animal Liberation in which he argued that animals shouldnt be treated the same as humans but they can suffer just as we do. So now i had decided to become a vegetarian.

Chapter 20 - hunting: A walk in the woods

Hunting was not what i ecpected it to be. It makes everything sharper and more vivid. It made me pay close attention like i've never have before. This is why i did not expect it. You notice alot more because you are so focused and even though im embaressed to say it i will, hunting is exciting.

1. The main idea of the films were to show us what is going on behind close doors. How they kill animals. How the animals eat corn that has been messed with. How they use chemicals to grow the corn and then give that corn to the cows and chicken and know they have chemicals inside of them that is being passed on to us. And how they are stay in they owe body waste.

2. The movie offers you the view. You get to see it and not just read it or hear about it. Where as the book offers you the knowledge of how to talk and it and able to read it over and over again to get it that way you don't miss out on anything important

3. what made thw government start putting chemiclas in tghe corn in the first place? Is making corn grow faster that much better?
