Calories In The Food We Eat
• Our body can only consume up to so many calories
per day.
• We are too busy stuffing our body with food high in
fat , that we don’t pay attention to the mount of
calories we consume . Therefor we don’t pay
attention to the harm were doing to our OWN body!
• For example: If you eat a bag of flaming Cheetos it
will take 1 mile to burn 100 calories that the bag
contains.
• The total amount of calories this meal
(Chicken Wings + Sprite + Chips Ahoy
Cookies)contains is 1630 .
• In order to burn off all the calories
consumed, it would be necessary to walk
16.3 miles !
• It would be staring from Santee and
walking all the way to Venice Beach !

What Are The Impacts Of The Food Choices We
Make? Health:
The food we eat gives our bodies the information and materials they need
to work properly .
If we don't get the right information our health declines.
Environmental: Over production of chicken
The Sprite company has a huge affect in the environment due to the fact that the
company makes more then 8.0000 million of can/plastic bottles a day.
One way Chips Ahoy Cookies effects the environment is when people buy the
cookies they some times don't dispose of the trash correctly.
Workers: “Most workers are "at-will" employees, meaning they can be easily fired at a supervisor's
discretion.”

This project has really made a big impact in our lives. During the process of this
very important project, we learned a numerous ways of how some of our unhealthy
habits affect not only us, but the people around us as well.
We honestly had no idea of the negative impacts this single mean contains. The
worst thing is, that many people are not aware of the impacts these meals have.
It is okay to eat this meal once in a while. But when we begin to eat it on a daily
basis, that’s when things start going wrong. Eating too much fat, sugar, and sodium
can be very hurtful to our body. That is the reason why we should be aware of what
we eat.
This project has really changed our eating habits. We have learned to be more
aware of the items we consume, and that we put in our body. The main reason is
because if we don’t make our own decision to change and make our habits better,
nobody will for us.
Not only will making healthy food choices have a good impact on our health, but it
will also make us feel better of ourselves.
This project has really made a positive impact to many of us.
