Video clip related to food book

Hello! How are you guys doing? The temperature is getting colder and colder! Keep warm!
And you now what?! It's already December! It is the last month of the year! Do you guys have any planing for this winter break? Well, I do! I going on a vacation with my family. Where I'm going? Well i will tell you that later... Moving on to my main topic for today's postings... :)

Well for today, I would like to talk about my food-related book. In one of my earlier postings, I talked about my book that I was reading, which was Bailey’s Café. However I decided to change my book because I wanted to read more facts about food rather than reading about fiction novel talking about food. I chose the book called Food Wars by Tim Lang and Michael Heasman. This book talks about how the future of food is to be shaped and discusses how the food policy should it be. It also shows how the way food is produced affects our own health, environment, and the national economies.  Here is the picture of this book:

Right now, I am reading the chapter about diet and health and talks about how foods could affected to our own health and turn into to heavy diseases. They also show the evidence to support of the framework as it relates to health, food policy and the dynamics of the food systems. They started researching by looking at the evidence of how the world’s diet is changing and facing the problems that each country has. They found out that rich countries suffer with heart disease, obesity, and diabetes, while poor countries suffer with hunger. As newer concerns, they found out that obesity and diabetes are rising, which they think that policies are not doing well on addressing about it.
Here’s a short video clip talking about increasing numbers of overweight children in developing counties. I was really surprised when I heard that the number of obese children is two times as high it was 20 years ago and 43 million children who are under the age of five were overweight in 2011.

Don’t you think it’s terrible?? I think we should take-care our own health and choose our food wisely and carefully in order to have well balanced-diet...

Thanks for reading! :)
