 I believe that this generation and people nowadays spend a lot of time on our phones. It is almost like our life now. Everyone has their heads in their phones and do not really stop to look at what is around them. Most people are influenced by social media and think that what they see on there is the truth and real. Which to be honest most of what we see on the internet is altered or not real at all. People use the internet to portray their opinions on topics. But then people take those opinions and spread that as the truth of the subject. which is not how social media was intended to be used. It was intended to be used to share our thoughts and what life is about and how we are living it.  It is however not supposed to be used as a platform to spread hate or lies. Social media when used the right way is a very good tool that we could use but not have our life revolve around it. We are supposed to get outside and interact with humans. That is how were designed after all....

 When looking for a comic that works with my Essay 3 prompt, I found a variety of different comics that could work. But this particular comic I thought was funny but also relevant to my point for the essay. It shows that when they used pesticides on the flowers, they lost points from the inspector.  In the comic shows a man spraying pesticides on the flowers and the bee is the inspector who says that the food is okay, but points are lost for the seasoning. It is funny because the bee is normally the one who uses the flowers, and he is the one talking to the man about losing points for pesticides that make the bees go away.  This is relevant because pesticides kill the pests that go on the plants that they spray the pesticides on, but it also means that if they spray them on our foods, we also ingest them. 

 What do you do when you are stressed and need to relax? Do you read? Do you go on a night on the town with your friends? Do you stay in and watch movies?  There are so many options when it comes to relaxing. You could go to a body of water and relax. Or go see family if they make you feel better. Or even just stay in your house and binge your favorite TV show for the 5th time.  I have noticed that the only way that I can relax when I am super overwhelmed is to distract myself. I either pick up that book I have been forgetting to read or go out with my friends or family. But when I sit at home everything stays in my mind running through it all a million times over. Or I go to work and that allows me to think about something else. And keeps me busy which is something I like to do.  In order for me to fully relax it normally takes me getting myself in order. I have to take nice long everything shower with music playing. Then treat myself to a spa night and get into bed...

 When you think about the foods you consume are there good thoughts running through your mind or bad thoughts. Do you think about what long term affects the foods you consume would leave on your body? You only get one body in your life so wouldn't you like to have a healthy one? When you think of fast foods do you know how that food is made and processed? Or when you look at the grocery store do you know where all those foods come from? These are all questions that can allow us to start thinking about what we are putting into our bodies. In the movie Fresh it is showing us the reality of foods. It shows us a new side and makes me personal want to eat fresh and organic foods. Which is better than fast foods and such but only to an extent.  After watching this movie, it is showing us the reality of how foods get to us and what they go to for us to get them. After showing us this reality, it is up to us to choose to either stay with our same lifestyle or not change. Or it allows ...
