Class Reflection..

So for my assignment this week I had to submit my article on McDonalds Infant formula and decided to submit it to SACHING.COM a site that accepts online articles for free.

Going into this process is interesting for me, because letting people in through my thoughts is not a complete foreign idea to me, but it could also be a very sensitive idea for me. In the past I’ve been known for my writing poetry and short stories and I could remember going out and reciting my poetry and feeling very nervous because people could be so critical about others and their crafts. So I think that it would be safe for me to say that I feel very nervous about submitting my article and what others will think about it.

Well now that I’ve submitted it, I can say that I feel good it’s my thoughts and one thing I have to understand is just that the article is MY THOUGHTS!!. Again I had to think about when I was reciting and how I used my nerves to get through expressing myself and how great after I felt. I guess you could say that I have used them in this cause to submit my writings, my thought and more importantly me.

I could honestly say that I would be doing this again and feel like the more I do it the better I would become at it.

I

Free Write...

This would indeed be a very easy assignment for me to do, due to me simply having so much on my mind that I probably need to just write till my heart is content, but 7-10 minutes will do.

This days have been difficult for me, I’ve been feeling like my spirit has gone on vacation without me and left me here to deal with all this chaos that going on in my life. Now what do I do is what I’m been repeating to myself pretty often these days. How do I get myself out of this and further more how do I see the light at the end of the tunnel? It’s makes me think that I know I’m strong and I know I can survive this I’ve been in worse situations I guess, but what do I need to do to make this better for me. Thing could be worse I tell myself but I try not to think about what it could be I need to think about what I want it to be. I also wonder what would my favorite author think, how would Deepak Chopra handle this situation? That’s funny cause I now think that he would be in this situation, he lives such a none chaotic life and that he so Zen and serene. I want to be that I want to live my life like that, I don’t want to think about what things are right now but what I’m going to make them be and how they’ll be better for me.

McDonald’s + Infant Formula = BAD IDEA!!!

What was once a rumor has now been announced that McDonalds will be introducing its own brand of infant formula at locations across the country this April. Sources say that there will be two flavors available “McNugget” and “Big Mac” and plans to introduce more “lovely” flavors in the future.

An article found states that the, “McFormula offers babies a flavor filled meal so that they can enjoy the McDonald’s experience like the rest of the family and mom and dad can feel confident that their child is receiving nutrition that meets all FDA guidelines.”

Are you kidding me!!! Aren’t we already a country that’s struggling with childhood obesity? And who really trust the FDA anyway?  Aren’t they the ones that have Okayed the already “poisonous” foods on the shelves?

Yeah it’s said that parent groups didn’t only raise eye brows but also major concerns about McDonalds attempting to start early on addicting there children to fast food. But I can only imagine that the parents who would even consider feeding their children this would not be worried first in addicting them and second in childhood obesity.

Although the FDA stated that they had some other major concerns with the flavorings and artificial coloring that McD’s chose to add, eventually they were able to come up with some changes that where sufficient for the FDA. 

The FDA also had one other demand before fully accepting the “poison” I mean formula and that was the formula had to also be available in stores. I guess the FDA was attempting to show some heart by requiring it be sold in stores. The article stated, “The FDA would not allow the product to be sold only at McDonald’s locations because parents would not have access to the same formula when away from a McDonald’s restaurant. Trying to switch your child’s formula can sometimes produce an upset stomach and a picky eater.”

It’s very clear that economically we are going through some rough times however does this make it ok for us to start our children off with unhealthy lifestyles, so they can turn into unhealthy adults? What do we do??

Inspiration...

Seeking inspiration?? This is something that I look to in many things that I do and even places that I go. To say that only one thing inspires me would be me trying to go the easy route in writing this; however I have to stay true to myself.

I could remember as a child one day telling my mother just how beautiful I though the earth was, all the tress and the animals even the people. Needless to say some of my views about that has changed, but could say that I still find beauty in everything, and could say that this is one of my inspirations “life”. It’s funny because as I write this it also reminds me that the things that inspirer you could easily be forgotten when you’re feeling down and out of even going through rough patches in “life”.  To go in more depth I would say that being able to wake every morning and enjoy what my maker has yet again blessed me with inspires me.

I’ve applied my inspiration to my writing in many ways, I have been known to write a little poetry and can say each one of those writing have come directly from my inspiration. It definitely has guided my writing style and giving me great ideas for more things to write about. But I would have to say that instead of my writing style blocking my inspiration, some time I deal with my inspiration blocking my writing style. I’ve contributed it to sensory overloud. Sometime I feel like so much is going on in the life that it alone blocks us and stops us from seeing our true blessing.
