I can be on both sides and defend my meal, from being environmentally safe, at the same time i can say that you have to be careful on where you purchase your shrimp at. Since my meal is a natural veggie meal with extract sensational taste you can only be worried about the shrimp or the ingredients added such as tomatoes, and all the extra products. One of the reasons why i worry about the shrimp is because it gets shipped from different parts of the world. There as it is shipping it could catch on to many illnesses from all around. And it can get to the United States of America and infect everyone because of where it gets shipped from. It can bring a change into the world because a new era would begin and diseases might be passed on to others and others. It would be a bad impact and effect to the world and it would mean it would not look good for international business. Maybe most of the business the U.S.A. makes from all around the world would be losing money because of this. And it would turn out to be something no good for the world's economy. But for now there have not been no signs of anything going on with the fish, it seems that most of the toys being transported from different countries coming into the U.S.A. have become hazardous to the society and mostly children. It causes the world to lose billions of money and economically the industry would go down. If the fish gets bad, it would be a lot of money gone. Fish seems to be really expensive every where you go. Any type of fish is always expensive and can go to high rates bringing in the money. But as far as i know i feel that my meal is a healthy meal with natural ingredients. You cant get msg off of shrimp or vegetables. There are preservatives off canned food or bottled seasoning and other things that can get you sick. My meal is very healthy and i feel everyone should try my meal. You guys will be really pleased.

As i look over the comments that i have on my favorite meal, i can see that not a lot of people have tried ceviche. I feel that people should be able to try out new things. The need to explore what is there to give in this world. Most of our vegetables come from different parts of the world. And i bet that we didnt know that. We should always keep informed about where our food comes from and what we decide to eat. Most of the comments i have on my blogs are that i can cook and throw it down on the kitchen. But i really dont, to be real with you. My meal is made out of fish (shrimps). This could be a environmental issue for those who dont trust much of what is exported and imported from different countries. Most of our fish comes from china and different parts of the world. And there have been some issues in the past that have brought this issue to concern. But if you buy from a good consumer that guarantee and have the fish tested for any types of infected diseases that come from the country it comes from. Im probably scaring most of you guys, but you guys should know where to trust a nearby fish market or supermarket.

Museum Trip

I attended the Museum of Natural History and i found it very interesting just going into this museum to learn about how living beings used to survive throughout the different times of history. I had visited this museum when i was younger with the rest of my family and i did not comprehend much of the things that were there better than now. The Museum of Natural History educated me on information that i did not know about. I visited many exhibits that demonstrated how the men and women from the past lived. I was really amazed of the different people and how they survived through the times they were living in and the supplies they used to either hunt, eat, and many more. Many had to survive the hardest times throughout history, whether it was animals or humans. There are exihibits that demonstrate us of the Ice Age and how animals survived. There were many animals and reptiles in history that existed then and are no longer in the presence. One of the exhibits that caught my eye was on the similarities we all have with apes. The exhibit was called the Spitzer Hall of Human Origins, there i explored the origins of us human beings and the similar features we have to chimpanzees and apes. In this exhibit they have features such as the revolvement from apes to humans. We are very similar to these mammals, such as the way our bodies are formed and the abilities they can do compared to what we can do. Going into this exhibit really develops the idea of how real this myth is turned out to be a known fact. For everyone to learn out of. As i was in the museum i also learned a lot from out of space, planets. This exihibit was called the Rose Center for Earth and Space, Cullman Hall of the Universe. As i visited this exhibit, i walked around and i saw pictures of the moon. Pictures that i have not seen and it amuses me to know for a fact that we live in a planet and how extreme and big the universe is. I also visited the Gottesman Hall of Planet Earth, here i learned what are some of the features that contain on the planet Earth. Here you learn on how the earth was evolved, how to read rocks, what is causing climate change and what are the reasons that we have oceans, mountains and many of the geographic landscapes in this planet we live in. In this exihibit there are many facts that support Al Gore's "The Incovenient Truth". I loved my visit to the museum because i learned a lot. I saw things that i never seen before and i was educated in many ways. All of the displays on the museum contained valid information that we all are going to need to know whether it is now or in the future. We expand our education level to reach for more further information and facts that are valuable to each and every one of us.

Most of the ingredients that i use to make my Ceviche come from the U.S.A. They are packaged all over the states. Some of the distributors that usually deliver the produce are by choice depending on who ever is in charge to place orders. The distributors that deliver all of the produce that i get and use for all my meals are New York Produce and Food Nation. These two companies distribute produce from all around the United States. They go around making deals on the most convenient prices for them and for the buyer or else they wont make a sale. The produce, always, but most of the time get delivered by huge delivery trucks, and all of the produce is packaged in boxes by there category on product. I have gained all of my information from the closest supermarket that is by me. This supermarket is called C-Town in here most of the items needed are provided for me to make the Ceviche. I know where all the producers get most of the produce because i have the advantage since i work in the supermarket around my way. I got a chance to find out that the tomatoes come from Florida and California. The cilantro in the supermarket comes from Mexico. The red onions come from Texas, avocado comes from Mexico or either California or Florida. Also the limes that i add to the meal come from Mexico and also the jalapeno peppers come from Mexico too. And something that caught my eye was that the garlic comes from China. That is crazy how many of these produce items come from different parts of the United States and not only from there but from different countries. I found all of this information from a coworker, his name is Manuel. He is in charge to place deliveries every week for the supermarket. I was impressed when i learned that these produce items come from different places. We eat everyday and the least that we know is where does the food that we have come from. It caught my attention and made me think of the vegetation that goes on, and where it happens. For the past three weeks i was gaining all of this information, one by one. I learned a lot of things that i didnt know before. I feel as if everyone should know where there food comes from.
