Mind what you eat!
by Milota Sidorova

I remember one food experiment I have done as a teenager. During Christmas I took one cookie, made of solid white cream and put it into the fire. I didn't even know why I got the idea, but the result amazed me. The cookie started to burn and created green flames and unbearable smoke. I kept watching, but the green fire didn't stop – on the contrary, the cookie was burning for another 20 minutes and the structure of it remained the same. It didn't break or turned to dust – it remained as it was – it just turned black. That moment I became to think about the nutrition and ingredients I was eating in my daily food. If one small cookie wasn't able to burn, wha! t kind of chemicals it could deliver to my body? We know that we are living in era when half of the population suffers from cancer, alergy and overweight. And it's also caused by the quality of food. There is no one in this world who can prove that the food we are eating has the same quality as it had 20 years ago. If you don't grow it by yourself or don't buy it from local farmer, you will never be sure about it. Our supermarkets are overloaded with cheap and chemical food, full of conservants that protect the food from decomposition. My stomach suffers „heartattack“ everytime I walk around a shop and see colorful mineral water in the shop window. And I suffer heartattack the second time when I see the same bottles of colorful water three months later. And there is no difference, except of the proof of how conservants did the „good job“. Don't live in illusion and don't die in it! The food is loaded with supportive substances to gain „long! evity“ and fresh appearance even after weeks or months. ! Recentl y I found an interesting experiment with Happy Meal from McDonald's. A photographer Sally Davies decided to take a picture of this meal for six months. The results amazed me again – there was no differernce – chips and hamburger with the slice of meat did look the same, except of it was bit smaller. The photographer said its consistence was like a stone. You better check out the pictures by yourselves, there is no appropriate comment. Except of me laughing hysterically when my working colleagues will go for a lunch, chasing the last hint of civilisation – searching for McDonalds!
