Weight has not been one of the best issues to talk about for me, well that was what I though. After a while I changed my mind of food, it has become one important thing in my life. When I was at home I had a good weight but in the last two years that I have spent here in Chicago I had gain 12 pounds. I am starting to worry each time more and more. In these two years I have gone home two times and I lost 8 pounds in two months, but when I came back to Chicago I gain weight again. It doesn’t take me long time, it was just like a month. Therefore I realize that the food is what affects my weight. For me it is not healthy to have more pounds that what is ideal according to your stature. I think the food in my hometown which is Otavalo, Ecuador is healthier than in Chicago. I think one of the reasons because the food in Chicago affects your weight is because they use a lot of chemical substances in the food while in my hometown the food grows naturally. Chicago uses a lot of food additives which are added to the food during preparation or storage. They use the additives for some reasons such us to preserve the food make it more attractive or to help in its processing, packaging, or storage. In the other hand, in Ecuador (Otavalo) the food usually grows using natural and organic methods. The food is harvested by the farmers, who do not add any kind of additives because they have natural ways to grow up the food. My hometown has a lot of fertile land, where you can harvest crops, and they grows naturally with the rain and with natural fertilizers. We buy fresh food because they has not been stored for long. There is a farmers market where you buy a fresh meat, vegetables , grains and fruits. They are very healthier and the most important thing is that they are natural. They ave not been added additives to maintain them fresh or to make them bigger or give them more color. It is not like that, all is natural.
