We participated in preparing healthier Chinese food. This was done at Astor Center. Although I first thought that preparing healthy food was going to be boring and was going to taste even worse, to my surprise, the food was actually tasty. My duty at Astor Place was dish duty and I also stirred vegetables. Doing this helped me learn that I shouldn’t judge food before I try it because even though I believed that the food was going to be nasty, it was tasty so my assumptions were wrong. Preparing the food after seeing the movie Food, Inc, which was about how the chickens, cows were first injected with steroids to make them grow faster and once they grow, they slaughter them. This movie helped me appreciate everything I eat, and it was an eye-opener for myself as well as other girls.
