The Love Language Quiz

http://www.5lovelanguages.com/

After taking the 5 love languages quiz I scored highest in words of affirmation and quality time. This didn't suprise me at all since I already know these are important for me. It seemed to ask a lot of questions about recieving gifts and physical closeness. I prefer saving up and going on a trip with someone or having a night on the town verses recieving a lot of gifts. I also have realized that I need to know someone heard me and is listening to what I am saying. It makes me feel like I am loved and that the other person is taking an interest in what I am saying. Overall, this quiz confirmed what I already thought.

Food Inc.

Food Inc is a thought provoking film that tried to even handedly talk about the food producing industries. I honestly wasn't shocked about the issues they raised since I have watchced films like this before. They did bring awareness to how much corn is being used in most processed food and even our meats, but how do you keep up with the demand for so much food without resorting to the quickest and easiest ways? I don't blame the companies for that. My dad grew up on a farm so it was interesting to hear his point of view on the movie. He did pointed out that there wasn't absolute proof shown of specific things said and that a lot of corn being produced now, 40%,  is for ethenal (which I have to admit, I didn't think about before). It is vital to thinking about what we are putting into our bodies, reading and understand food labels. Instead of spending money on those shoes you've been dying to buy, would the extra cash be better fit to spend on whole foods at your local farmers market and giving those individuals our support?

I hope you guys found this movie as interesting as I did! Happy eating everyone :)
