                                                     My Attitude Toward Food

In general food is our basic needs, it is important to eat healthy food to develop our body. I cannot do anything without food.My eating habit is that i cook my food most of the time.However, our  basic needs keep changing as we are advance in our daily lives.Anyway i need to eat good food to keep healthy and develop our body.Therefore, I prefer home made cook foods, vegetables,and fruits. I shouldn't neglect my health were i can get all those good nutrition from them. I hardly to go to buy fast food or processed foods, because i don't think that food is healthy. That's why i cook my food very well. I like to buy fresh vegetables and fruits rather than fresh meats. Mostly,I do shop from Indian  store and sun food (. Asian store). Sometimes  I do my groceries shopping from Rainbow and Cubs store which is little more higher price than ethnic store.
                                       Is the food we eat healthy and safe?
I think I am eating healthy way. Organic food is good for our health since its free from Pesticide, and Antibiotic exposure. It's expensive too and i can't afford to buy organic at all. But for me, organic food is not that important, the more important is the way you eat and prepared. Such as eating  at least 3 meals a day, some snakes, vegetables, and fruits. I wash them good before i cook and serve my family. I can say its healthy and safe if you cook well. The another important is meal planning like eat 3 meals a day.
 
Quote from the article " Eating Food That's Better for You, Organic or Not" by Mark Bittman, march 21, 2009. " You can begin your own cupboard, by eliminating processed food, trying to cook a meal a little more often, trying to incorporate more fruits and vegetables." I cook my food most of the time in order to protect my kids health and myself. I don't want them to eat unhealthy food out side such as fast food and processed food.

The Value of Friendship: Why is Jamal and Forrester's friendship significant in film?
     First of all, Jamal grew up in rough neighborhood in Bronx New york, where Forrester lives in his apartment in Bronx.Who hides his identity from public.He does not want to meet people, and does not  want to write another book either.He cut off all the contacts. However, Jamal became a good friend of Mr. William. Their friendship has some good moral lessons. Jamal Wallace helps Mr. William to come out in public by going out to the basket ball court. William  helps Jamal overcome racial prejudice against him and pursue his dream of becoming a good writer.
      In the story, there are many interesting  things between Jamal and Mr. William, but i like the way they kept their promise each other.The friendship between Jamal and William Forrester becomes important when he noticed that Jamal is a very talented young black boy and as well as very good in basketball. Mr. William used to look out through his apartment window while Jamal in the basketball court with some of his friends. They called Mr.William as a window guy. One day the boys asked Jamal to go in his apartment to something. When he get there, he saw the books all around in his apartment.He sneaks  there and leaves behind his backpack full of writing. William returned his backpack next day, and Jamal found his all writing was corrected by him. That way Jamal knew, William is a reclusive writer. They  both continue to touch each other and work together in William's apartment.
     Mr. William and Jamal promise each other as a good friendship that,"Whatever we write in this apartment stays in this apartment." Jamal kept his promise even his teacher and school officials blame him as a plagiarism on his writing, but William came out  and let them know that he is not a plagriasm. whatever in his writing that he wrote his own words. Therefore, their frienship is very important to eachother.If Jamal hadn't taught William what he did, William would have continued to live his broken life, and would died unfilled.
