Personal Narrative: Freeze Dried Food

Decent Essays
Did you know most grocery stores only have about Three days worth of food in the event of an emergency? If you ask me, I don't feel too safe knowing that everyone will be making a mad dash to the store in panic mode. That is not something I want to count on when the fecal matter hits the fan. Another thing to consider would be the type of emergency. Would it be feasible to leave your home? Maybe there is a huge storm and you can't leave.

Well, that's why I decided to become a consultant with Thrive Life (Freeze Dried Foods) so I could earn free or discounted product to add to my Home storage. I like to be prepared for myself and my family. I would much rather stay home and walk into my own food storage area for supplies. I like that peace

The ability to purchase food online, including the perishables makes me a little weary. I need to see the expiration date, pick out the produce, etc. Some things take a little getting use to when it comes to items for consumption.…

    In order for that we would need power and service. We might have it for a while, but if one thing went wrong, how would we fix it? No one is willing to go outside, and maybe they wouldn’t even have the proper tools. How would we know where would be safe to go if we couldn’t keep in touch with the safe zones?

    Two processed foods that I enjoy eating are doritos and cheese curls. I examined the labels and discovered that cheese curls contain two grams of sugar per serving and 290 milligrams of sodium per serving. Doritos contain one gram of sugar per serving and 180 milligrams of sodium per serving. Most of the ingredients in these snacks are artificial or chemical. I have never thought about what ingredients were in the snacks, or thought about looking at the labels before I eat the food.…

    Puerto Rico Hurricanes

    On September 20, 2017, a category five hurricane, Maria, made direct landfall on Puerto Rico, and the way the country prepared for the storm was a complete failure. Puerto Rico is a poor country. For the United States to think that Puerto Rico can hold to the same standards as states like Texas and Florida is foolish; plans should have been put in place accordingly to the island. Because the country is impoverished, Puerto Rico’s infrastructure was neglected to begin with, and the devastation from the hurricane now makes it that much more difficult to rebuild and fix. The 2017 hurricane season was one of the most active seasons the United States has seen since 2005.…

    From a young age, my parents have always enforced the idea of eating healthy constantly badgering me to eat my vegetables or have a piece of protein with my meals. Although I might not have understood why their reprimanding was important, over the course of these last few weeks in biology I have come to realize that having a sound diet in many ways encompasses what it means to be healthy and live life to its fullest. By actively moderating, recording, and learning about what I have been eating I can now clearly understand that my parents were right to encourage healthy eating in my home. My parent, specifically my mother, was always the one who cooked and influenced my healthy eating at a young age. When looking at my food logs for this…
