READING JOURNAL - 2
YanıtlaSilIn my humble opinion,the title of the text is good.Because people are always attuned to new lifestyles.This situation carries with new eating habits.Human is an alive creature.So time is trailing people,too.Everything is changing.There is a bond between lifestyles and eating habits.It is a crystal-clear fact.In spite of good title,the author couldn't manage to keep me interested in the text because there is an incoherency in hole text.On the one side,the author mentioned that Americans don't have much time to prepare food and they might skip meals.But on the other side,the author told us that they recognized the danger of cholesterol.People are busier now.Maybe it is a compulsory choice.However,people prefer to convenience foods.And then they become fatter.The author's fault is this point.If people take care of their health,they eat healthy foods and don't get fat.So they don't need any dieteticians to lose weight.
nutrition is a delicate situation it could cost humans life. so it should be important in lifestyle. this text show's us how important nutrition is and the relationship between nutrition and lifesityle.for me nutrition is really important because i care about my healt. i am obsessed about it being healty this is why i was really interested in this text. Americans nutrition habbits are really bad and changing habbits must be hard.Americans are good example for situations about bad nutrition. nowadays Americans are getting to know about nutrition which will make them healtier. i like the part about medical terms. it gives a serious idea

YanıtlaSil-Changing Lifestyles and New Eating Habits-
Changing lifestyles also change eating habits. I totally agree with this idea. I have stayed in dormitory for five years. In this period, a lot of things changed in my life. I used to have soup before the meal. I used to have breakfast everyday. Nowadays my eating habits are different from past. I eat soup rarely, maybe one or two times a week. I wake up early. Because of this reason I don't eat anything in morning. I skip breakfast. I prefer quick and simple things to prepare. I have no time to cooking. Most of people think like me. To sum up, not only the Americans, but also people around the world, prefer easy, rush, and healty meals.
In my opinion, people are changing, our world is changing and everything is changing.Our lifestyle, our eating habits and a lot of things.There is not anything stagnant thing in the world.Author mentioned about relationship between the eating habits and lifestyle, I think this is important.For instance generally they pefer to eat shrimp and lobster for romantic dinners, this is good but I think, Americans nutrition habbits are terrible and still going to worse.According to a recent research %27 American people are obese.They always eat fastfood and then they have a lot of animal fat.
YanıtlaSilThis reading made me realize that important of the eating habits between the lifestyle, but I could not understand one thing: Eating habits are changing because lifestyle is changing or lifestyle is changing because eating habits are changing?
Reading Journal 2-Changing Lifestyles and Eating Habits
YanıtlaSilIt was an instructive text for me.I believe the eating habit can extend our life time.The text was all about american eating habbits but it is on the same way in all world.People want to have a long healthy and high quality life ,they know one of the way that makes them have a long life is eating healthy ,low-fatty things.I think this changes in americans' life show us that people care themselves.Eating outside is best solution for who doesn't have time to prepare meal or to have frozen meal and make it in microwave is the another way.These make americans have time for other things.In the text author mention about that americans have a opinion about the foods for moods.It's an acceptable opinion.We all know when we drink coffe, we would be much more attentive.The people who interest in sport should eat protein and things like that.
Reading Journal 2-Changing Lifestyles and Eating Habits
YanıtlaSilThe author could not manage to keep me interested in the text because this subject is ridiculous.I think you cannot say anything about people eating habits.This is individual and you are attacking people’s special life.For example I do not want to hear Turkish eating habits if I was American ,so American’s new eating habits are not interested in me.All my opinion are not negative.This is the good one that cholestrol is a threat to human health but the author does not attract attention that situation.In my opinion,the author should emphasize bad eating habits for American.For exanple he used like something that is 90% of all American homes now have microwave ovens and the author is adding about human healthy things.

YanıtlaSilISSUE:Changing Lifestyles and New Eating Habits
Eating habits have been chancing day by day.Most of the important reason is that our lifestyles have been chancing at the same time.The author mentioned this subject in the text and I am agree with the auther.People who live alone,single parents and children,and double-income families have different lifestyles also,new eating habits.I can give you some examples from my life.I have stayed alone and I spend my days especially at college.When I come back to home,I am very tired all the time.As a result of this reason,preparing food is change into hard action for me.Usually,I prefer easy foods for cook like the Americans do.The author mentioned that Americans' nutrition habits have changed and now they prefer chicken,turkey,and fish instead od red meat.This new habits depend on awareness of the dangers of eating food that constains high colosterol,or animal fat.Everbody knows that Americans have fast-food feeding in recent years.Most of the American people are overweight.This nutrition style is threat to their health.Also,it affect their life badly.Consequently chicken,turkey,and fish have become more popular ,and I am agree with the author.It happens with awareness.The overall message of the text is lifestyles changes oureating habits and in my opinion,this message is universal.

YanıtlaSilChanging Lifestyles and Eating Habits
I think the author is trying to say that there are kinds of different eating habits. He related these eating habits to people’s lifestyles, the way the people live. According to author if people want to be a healthy person, they choose low fat foods. They just take what they need, not more. But if they don’t care about being healthy, well they don’t care about what they eat too. They eat what they want to eat. According to the author it is not that easy to eat healthy meals and I agree with him. A lot of people don’t have time to prepare food because of their hectic life. Sometimes they are obligated to rush meals or skip them. This is not helping to being healthy. It doesn’t matter how much we know about threats of bad foods, eating habits are determined by mostly lifestyles.
READİNG JOURNAL 2
YanıtlaSilIn my impression,this text connected with real life and lifestyles.Actually I'm not crazy about such topic,they annoys me.However,I like this text,even I found something that interested in this topics.I think,the reason is statistic that include in this topics.The author's statistic database is made the text readable than others
As for the selection of topics:The topics unpleasant.No one wants to be influenced on
his/her food choice.Espacially a dietician,because no one living the same life.For instance:If I were rich,I would care that what I was eating,but I don't have any chance,because I'm in dormitary therefore I must eat dormitary foods.And no one was born in same culture.Example:a dietician can say that"you should eat pork at dinner" I never eat a pork and no one never suggests me to eat a pork,because I'm a muslim person.This example explain the my idea.
As for the selection of topics:The tittle of the reading passage is a perfect match,because the tittle related with this text's theme,and the tittle summed up all of the paragraphs.
As for the result:I agree with the author about this theme.Changing lifestyles impresses what we eat and our nutrition culture.Nowadays daily situations even affects what we eat.Example:If we had a romantic appointment, we would generally choose shrimp or lobster.

YanıtlaSilChanging Lifestyles and New Eating Habits
This article suprised me a little bit.It helped me to realize some of things I knew was wrong.For example; I thought that Americans eat more and more unhealthy foods day by day, but it was not as I thought.They consumed more fresh fruit and vegetables, since they have a broader knowledge of nutrition.Red meat, which used to be the most popular choice for dinner, is no longer an American favorite, and I did not know it. Instead, chicken, turkey, and fish have become more popular, and I did not know it too. I did not think like that because this article said that; Americans lifestyles have changed, and it changed the eating habits, but I said like that before,I have learned things that I know as wrong before. Americans change their eating patterns to meet the needs of different situations. I found this article useful because of the informations given to us.
