Food Log Reults

                After researching the ingredients in food that I ate over a twenty-four hour time period, I realized that organic food is not necessarily organic. Also, I learned that there are some ingredients in food that cause sleepiness. For example, after looking up the ingredients in turkey, I found that there are different types of cold cut meat products. First there are whole cuts, which are the more expensive because the meat is cooked and then seasoned with spices or sugars then sliced. Secondly, there are sectioned and formed meat products which are made from different pieces of meat and then bonded together to make one single piece.
Finally, there are processed meats which are made through emulsion or non emulsion. Emulsion is where the meat is finely chopped, then hydrophobic proteins react with fat, and hydrophillic protein reacts with water to hold in the fat solution. Non emulsion is in a way the same process; however, no massaging or grinding of the meat is needed. Another thing that shocked me about the meat was that there are enzymes as well as nitrates and compounds which are known to cause cancer. The reason this shocks me is because the FDA does not seem to interveigne on this, nor do other organizations. The companies that produce meat and meat like products seem to be backed by some organization in order to continue the production of their meat.
                  When I was looking up information for a bag of Sun Chips, I found some of the ingredients such as pork enzymes quite interesting. Due to the use of pork, it is not kosher or vegetarian. There are chips made that ay do not contain pig enzymes, but to me, the fact that chips have a meat product in them is quite interesting. I feel that if there are meat products in chips and they are labeled so people could actually read the ingredients, then people would not eat sun chips as much.
                  After looking for the ingredients I ate within the twenty-four hours, I realized that not only have I consumed a large amount of calories, but I also consumed many different acids, enzymes, and oils that I would not think are in certain foods.
