Vegetables v/s Ju n k
fo o d
Nowadays people are eating really badly, junk food is very attractive for children, adolescents and adults, because it is cheap, fast, delicious and addictive, yes JUNK FOOD IS PSYCHOLOGICALLY ADDICTIVE, its has been proven by experts. They say that this addiction can be as strong as drug addiction. Often people associate food with emotions, for example as little kids our parents gave us ice creams, cookies, candy to reward our good actions or behaviour; so we associate these kinds of food with happiness until we are adults, so we eat junk food to reward ourselves for being “good”.
Junk food produces obesity for its poor nutritional value, pollution (plastic rubbish), addiction, it shortens your life expectancy and people expend lots of money a year on this type of food.
Hello my friend! You finally reached the Green Section. Each month you will learn information about healthy living and how to take care of your environment, enjoy this month’s edition, peace!
So clearly eating junk food has more disadvantages than advantages (if there is one). To change your eating habits to healthy ones, start replacing junk food for vegetables, these ones contain many nutrients, fibre, low amounts of carbohydrates and fat. They reduce your risk of heart diseases, type 2 diabetes, cancer, obesity and many other disorders. Environmentally vegetables do not pollute as much as junk food because in most cases they do not come with plastic package, they are made naturally and if you grow them in your garden it is much better, even better is to make a compost with them instead of throwing them away. People who have chosen vegetables over junk food say that they have more energy than ever, they have better sleep, no more diets, no cellulite, etc...

We all know that climate change affects the environment, it causes the loss of glaciers, destruction of corals, animal extinction and many more consequences, but experts do not talk much about the effect that this is going to do to people, maybe that’s why so many are indifferent about this, because they that it is something far away. Well, that’s a wrong thought, we are being effected by climate change at this moment and in the future, if we don’t help our planet, the consequences will be catastrophic.
Climate change consequences Higher temperatures: this means periods of heat waves, which can be deadly; elderly and sick people are the most vulnerable. For example the European heat wave caused an estimated of 35.000 deaths. Raising temperatures also cause asthma and more cases of salmonella poisoning.
Agriculture: the rising temperatures will affect agriculture area specially in developing countries. It is predicted that by 2020 crop yields are going to fall by 50 % in Africa.
Stormy weather: most regions may experience more severe storms causing damage in houses and people.
Infectious disease: mosquitoes which are a disease carrying vectors will speed up their life cycles because of the warmer and wetter weather. This will cause an increase in infections and probably will cause deaths. Also after extreme weather Cholera is common and it is even more when the sea is warmer.
Sea level rise: the loss of glaciers will rise the sea level, low lying and coastal regions have particular risk. Some regions might even disappear.
Algal blooms: these algae are growing very quickly and the worst part is that some of them are toxic, they consume dissolved oxygen which causes a “dead zone”.
What can we do? First of all get informed about the environment and the climate change, there is lots of information out there that will help you getting started with helping our planet.
Here are some useful tips:
Recycle bottles, plastic bags, and newspapers. Every time you do this you send less trash to the landfill and you help save natural resources, like trees and oil.
Bike, Bus, and Walk, you can save energy, do exercise and pollute less doing this.
Talk to your family and friends, let them know what you've learned and teach them.
Save electricity, by turning off lights, the television, and the computer, you reduce you greenhouse gases emition.
Plant Trees, It is a fun and a great way to reduce greenhouse gases. Trees absorb carbon dioxide from the air.
When you buy, buy with conscience, buy products that don't use as much energy, to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases that we put into the air, this will make the Earth a better place.
Going vegetarian is a change of lifestyle and it is a good option when It comes to improve your relationship with the environment, It helps you to reduce your green house emitions and makes you a healthier person.
Why go vegetarian? There are four main answers to this question:
Animals: millions of animals are killed brutaly every day, and people who raise them do not even care in giving them a good life, they have them in an embarassing conditions. Chickens, cows and pigs live hacinated in little cages all their lives, this makes them stressful because It is not their nature, they are never going to see daylight, breathe fresh air or feel the sun over their skins. They are given many antibiotics and growth hormones (in pigs and chickens) and that produces a low quality flesh for people that consume It because It is full of quimics. The end of the suffering is when they are killed, this is the worst part, It is a massacre where they are assassinated with no compassion, and some are left alive so they suffer even more (when the chicken’s throatt is not fully cut), so turning vegetarian means you’re no longer a part of the cycle of horrible death.
Save the planet: The world's 1.5 billion cows and billions of other grazing animals emit dozens of polluting gases, including lots of methane. Methane is 23 times more powerful than carbon dioxide and It is a greenhouse gas. Agriculture Organization says that this gas’ output could increase by 60 percent by 2030. Also imagine the amount of water needed for billions of pigs, chickens, cows, sheeps, etc...So be a part of the solution, do not eat meat.
Save others: While 750 million people go to bed hungry every night (and this number is increasing every year), one-third of the world’s grain is fed to farmed animals. It takes about 10kg of good quality plant protein - such as wheat and soya - to produce 1kg of meat protein and 90 per cent of the UK's animal feed protein concentrates come from poor countries - often those where children die from starvation. A typical Western meat-based diet can only feed 2.5 billion people: a plant-based diet will feed every one of us.
Save yourself: Vegetarians live longer and suffer less from diseases such as hypertension, obesity, coronary artery disease, certain kinds of cancer and diabetes. Vegetarian diets can even be used to treat illnesses.
How to go vegetarian? The first step is to get informed about vegetarianism, about proteins substitutes (you could go to a nutricionist), look for delicious recipes and get information about the advantajes and disadvantajes of this change of diet and evaluate if you really want to become a vegetarian.
The second step is to start eating vegetarian meals in between the normal ones so you can begin changing your diet slowly. Also you can start replacing meat for tofu or soy meat.
The third step is to start eliminating certain things from your diet little by little, for example instead of eating for breakfast bread with jam, eat bread with marmalade or cheese. The fourth step is to take yourself seriously; start living in your new diet. By now you shoudn’t be eating meat and you should be almost used to the diet. Be pacient, this is a slow process and It will give you rewards in the end.
Famous vegetarian people quotes:
Alec Baldwin: "Every time we sit down to eat, we make a choice. Please choose vegetarianism. Do it for … animals. Do it for the environment, and do it for your health."
Casey Affleck: "Imagine living in a cage in the dark, unable to move, day after day. The suffering of today's American farm animals is almost beyond belief. They don't have a choice, but you do, and their lives depend on it."
His Holiness the Dalai Lama: "I have been particularly concerned with the sufferings of chickens for many years. It was the death of a chicken that finally strengthened my resolve to become vegetarian. … These days, when I see a row of plucked chickens hanging in a meat shop, it hurts. I find it unacceptable that violence is the basis of some of our food habits."
Albert Einstein: "Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival of life on earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet."
CHANGE YOUR DIET. CHANGE THE WORLD
During the 1960â€&#x;s the hippie movement started to appear on San Francisco, California. Then spread throw United States, Canada and also to Europe, but their greatest influence was in America. The hippies were young people between 15 and 25 years old, a new generation that was looking of a change on the way they lived. They often left their families for many reasons, just because they thought different from their parents, because they really wanted to have their own life or just because they were outcast and was the only way of fitting in. Most of the hippie people came from middle class families. "Do your own thing, wherever you have to do it and whenever you want. Drop out. Leave society as you have known it. Leave it utterly. Blow the mind of every straight person you can reach. Turn them on, if not to drugs, then to beauty, love, honesty, funâ€? This sentence describes very well hippie way of thinking. They used to get together on Haight Ashbury district were they organize festivals and reunions with different topics such as music concerts, LSD experiences or political talks questioning the authorities.These things really distance the hippies from the rest of the conservative society, although hippies wanted anew society were everyone could live in peace and harmony with each other, despite differences. They really fought for human rights and also for stopping gender differences that were very marked those years. Hippies were recognized because of their civil right marches and anti-Vietnam war demonstrations. The two act were totally pacifist and were only to stop the problems on the country.
Hippies are also highlighted on music, they used it as a way to express themselves and let their ideas out when they didn‟t know how to say it. There are many musicians that we know today that were really influential on that time, such us Bob Dylan that has a lot of songs that express many of the feelings from hippie. Jimmy Hendrix, The Beatles and a lot of musicians that we have heard at least one time were very popular during the „60‟s. On 2010 we see few hippies on our daily life. But there are lots of institutions and new movements that follow the hippies goals and dreams, such as environmental causes, fighting for civil and human rights, fighting against war and violent acts, as many others. Hippies had a lot of influences on our society.. WITHOUT THEM WE WOULDN‟T HAVE FUNKYMAG! OK, that‟s not SO important, but, there are so many things to say about them. Hippies open the mind of the world and made society realized about many things that were affecting people and the environment, things that no one was really interested. Hippies also left us an enormous legacy on music, clothes, ecology and innovation. In other words, hippies helped society to express what they thought, to fight for their needs, they helped people to be themselves and feel comfortable about it, it didn‟t matter if someone was different.

Book of the month:
Lord of the Flies, By William Golding This interesting book is a about a group of boys that are stuck on a desert island after an airplane accident. They organized a little society where they have a chief and everyone has a chore, but this organization becomes a chaos when two leaders think differently. The boys begin to know each other and also themselves in this tropical island. You have to read this amazing book, it may not be a new book, but it really reflects our society in many aspects. William Golding creates a symbolic story where the characters and actions perform represent events in our society, that make us meditate on the way human act on different situations. After reading the book you will realize how William Golding could capture such a good image of society and civilization using just a group of boys lost on an island. The idea of the book is to read it knowing that William Golding is telling us something with every event that happens on the book. Put all your attention on Simon and his words, this boy could really represent the hippie thinking, he was very spiritual and if he wanted something he fought for it, especially for saving the group. Another hippie action that we can find in the book is the way that the boys deal with the idea of living without adults, which in a way is very similar to hippies, because they wanted to be different to their parents and follow their own thoughts. Thatâ€&#x;s all we can say about the book, just read it to find out what happens next!
