How to Change Unhappy Diet

         According to “Unhappy Meals” and “Angels and Vegetables” which are written by Michal Pollan and E. Melanie du Puis, there are some bad eating habits we should care about in this country, and some harmful foods are eroding our body. So we should choose the right way to eat helpful food to keep your body healthy. In“Unhappy Meals”, Pollan talks about the low-fat eating habit is good for our health, omega-3s contributes to improving health, enough fish oil can cut your risk of dying from a heart attack by more than a third. (1) Cook food in right way can keep their nutrition better; obesity is everybody’s common enemy and lots of other examples of healthy and unhealthy eating habit. “Angels and Vegetables” is talking about people’s eating habit is be effected by the era, environment, political background and religious belief.

Actually, I’m not good at nutriology and my own eating habit is very disorder. I almost just eat one meal per day, and I prefer use more time to sleep instead of to eat. I’m a meat-eater; I don’t like eat vegetables and use skinless chicken breast or the turkey bacon instead of beef or barbeque pork. In my opinion, personal eating habit doesn’t need to up to a very high level. For me, health and tasty are almost in an opposite locate, I have to concern about my health, but I think eat what you like is top priority.
