A man’s trash will always have a second purpose. There is a
specific term for this called recycling. Our job in this blog post was to open
up our trash bags and see how much stuff we throw away. Sadly, while I was at
work and my family had a deep cleaning session in the house and threw away my
trash. Luckily I saw this coming and recorded everything and anything I threw
away and even the date that I threw it away. If you can notice, I have a lot of
plastic in my trash can and even some fruits shavings and vegetable pieces. I
had a feeling someone was going to throw away my trash can as soon as I heard
about this blog assignment. I am glad a light went off in my head that told me
to write them down. I do not know why I didn’t really add more to it. Maybe because
I knew I was going to have to keep up with it later on for this blog. As you
can see, I am a very healthy eater. You can make that assumption by looking at
the nutrition drinks and yogurts that I consumed in this short period of time.

I will begin to get rid of the fountain drinks and big fast
food cups. That proves to me that yes I am a healthy eater but I still have a
lot of unhealthy choices. Back when I was a child I had high-cholesterol and
for a kid that was 12-14 years old and weighing 160 pounds was not healthy. I
am almost bet that if I were to look at how my trash looked back in those days
id be so disgusted. The only problem that was noticeable was that all of my
friends at the time where just as big as me and it was a very freighting thing
to see. After watching all of those documentaries I notice how close I was if
not had the sickness of childhood obesity. My trash has gone from looking like
a fat kids dream to not really any fast food and soft drinks. I must say, after
the realization I had. I am quite impressed. I don’t use that much Styrofoam
from the
fast food cups or any harmful material. I do see a problem in that the
cups my energy drinks came in were all plastic and also the yogurt containers
were made of almost the same materials.

I really need to start eating out less and begin to consume
more fruits so I can see a trashcan full of more fruit shavings and less of
receipts. I am glad I kept track of my trash for this blog in a journal that I have with me. As weird as it
sounds, I am more than happy to record my trash maybe for the next few weeks to
see if I see any kind of improvement. I will more than likely be consuming less
foods that require being wrapped in plastic and other dangerous foods. Who knew
that so many calories were in my body? It’s like the trash can is an exact
replica of my stomach.
