Food project

To commence the second year we have been given a project with the theme of 'food'. I have been particulary interested in looking at how foos effects mood and our behaviour. There have been quite a few experiments donw which imply additives and pesticides effect us adn make our behaviour more aggressive. However, there has not been sufficient testing to make these accounts creditable.

It surprised me that surveys had also been done on pets, such as cats and dogs. The results are evident that cheaper pet foods with less nutrients and more additives cause more aggressive behaviour. I had never really thought about this, but pets are just the same as us and we should watch what they eat just as much as we would ourselves.

There were some other interesting points made in our group disscussion, I found it interesting when someone mentioned how they looked at other peoples shopping, trying to gather information on what that person is like just from what they eat. It is fascinating how you can create an image of someone from just what is in there trolley. I hadn't thought of this but, I am sometimes consious opf what i am buying and wonder what people think of me.
