The Need For Advances in Gluten Free and Dairy Free Foods!

One topic you don't hear a lot about is how truly terrible dairy and gluten food really is... Yes, there are options out there, but the taste is definitely sub par. This topic hits home for me because I am both Dairy and Gluten Intolerant, meaning if I eat any of these foods I get severely sick, therefore these options would be great for me in theory. The downside is I am also an extremely picky eater which doesn't help because these allergen free foods taste awful! First off there are very few places that carry these types of products. These stores include, Whole Foods and Fresh Thymes...that's it, but no restaurants carry these products which makes it extremely hard to figure out what to eat day to day, especially when I go out to eat with my friends and have to act fine despite consuming things that make me sick. Most days I have to just accept the fact that I am going to get sick because there are no other options for me out there. Until the day where these foods are both delicious and plentiful people who share my struggle will continue to struggle.

Side Note: So many people in this world are affected by these disorders so why haven't scientist and other food workers worked together to advance food products for these people?!

Review of the Subway 6-inch Sub

Image
Subway Sandwiches are one of the quickest and easiest ways to get a semi-nutritious meal in a short period of time. Since they are so convenient, my family enjoys going there since there is something everyone will like. My order there is a six inch sub on Italian bread, with ham and American cheese, topped with lettuce and Italian dressing. My sandwich order is pretty basic, but they have so many combinations you could make whatever your heart desires. For sides I usually get a bag of chips and one chocolate chip cookie for a good treat. Normally I don't like sub sandwiches, but for some reason I love subway's. The sandwich is both tasty and filling since you get to decide what is on it. This aspect of choosing your own ingredients is great for me since I am a picky eater, making it simple for my family and I. Therefore, if you are ever in a hurry and need to re-fuel, might I suggest stopping at Subway to get any sandwich of your choice! Link to Subway's Menu: https://ww

The Need for Healthy Food to be More Convenient!

Whenever you are in a hurry and need a quick meal, you can drive in any direction to a McDonald's or Wendy's to get a quick meal. However, this quick meal is not a good solution when it comes to your health. There are few to no quick food options that are also healthy in today's day in age. The only fast food establishment that contains semi-nutritious products is subway, but even then they aren't completely healthy. This has turned into an epidemic, here in the United States. According to the National Bureau of Economic Research , obesity in children ages 6-19 has increased from 5% to 17% since 1970 due to the increase of fast food chains. This means that fast food corporations are a main contributor to childhood obesity. This problem, however, could be solved if more healthy options, were as readily available as burger and fries are. If a restaurant that only served nutritious meals, that only took five minutes to prepare would attract countless of people, including h

When most people pick up food for their dog, they aren't very concerned with the ingredients because they trust the happy little pup on the front of the bag, almost like it is a spokesperson for doggies health. However, most of the food offered for dogs carry carcinogens, which are cancer causing ingredients that are putting your dog at a heightened risk of exposure. Also in the human world, we all know that McDonald's is not a good, nutritious meal to feed your family so why were you do it for your dog? Many of the brands offered have no nutritional value and are in fact leading to obesity and diabetes in your canine friend. Many of the name brand dog foods such as, Beneful, Iams and Blue Buffalo are actually causing cancer and obesity in dogs since the main ingredients are corn meal when it should be a protein, like chicken to keep your pet lean. One way to avoid these misleading brands is either research the brand you purchase and make sure the ingredients are compatible and
