Hi nacho,
ReplyDeleteThe video is basically how this level of food life in united states, how families and schools to educate poor children in terms of nutrition.
jamie oliver this video aims to educate people to have a good nutrition is not a problem as they are still time to rectify regarding it.
also discusses how this can actually damage the population increasing obesity and cardiovascular problems that entails and which could potentially increase mortality levels in a few years.
the truth is that although the lecture given by this guy is if not less quiet and with an atmosphere of positivity and good humor in situations of poor nutrition in the home and school cafeterias of American schools, it is also alarming and brutally realistic.
this is my opinion regarding the video you showed us in class.
greetings, vanessa.
I think you used google translator, didn't you?
DeleteI don't need your comment to be that long. I prefer you to use your own words.
Hi Nacho, this is Javi.
ReplyDeleteI’ve just watched this video about Jamie Oliver´s wish to teach every child about food and I absolutely agree with him but I think that it’s necessary a brainwashing for their parents or educators because they have the money and they are the example to follow by children. So, the person who has money has the responsability to spend it on the right way and this person is always concerned about his economy. No matter if you´re poor or rich. Money is in your life and it´s never enought.
Normally people look for cheap and fast food because they are becoming every time more stressed and they are loosing the control of their own lifes doing the same things their neightbours do without thinking about another reality; his own reality like a human being to keep alive and healthy. But no, that doesn’t works. They don’t have enought time to cook and they must to work, earn money, wear cool clothes, and more bullshits.
However and according to this, there are another people who plays with them and they are trying to drive them like a puppets, and they don´t care about population health. They only want power.
Well, I think this is a dangerous theme with many ways and I would need many hours more to explain exactely my point of view.
By the way, do you know what Monsanto is? Have you watched “We feed the World”?
See you soon, Nacho; take care and correct my English.
Regards,
Javi
Well done, Javi.
DeleteYou have written what you think in your own words. There are some mistakes that we will deal with when we meet for class.
wave profe am Inma was watching the video of James Oliver, and in my opinion I think that it is right in everything it says I think that we should have a better education to change our eating habits and promote a form of healthy living;make campaigns by schools to teach our children and that parents also engaged so they feed them properly and thus live longer and happier.Then you grades them marks of North America that put part of their money in solving this problem, which is partly blamed for them that we manipulate with your ads and offers but unfortunately money is who sends and it is more important to become rich at the expense of killing millions of people who invest our money and fight obesity.It seems to me very sad stories of these people and that that child is the target of laughs by being obese but that is what we have created in this society of consumerism and for lack of time turned to the quick and easy. Good teacher didn't know that place but this was what came out I hope to serve, a greeting.
ReplyDeleteInma, I want you to write a short paragraph using your own words.
DeleteI don't want you to use google translator for the whole paragraph.
See you!
Hi Nacho
ReplyDeleteI was very impressed because schools and high schools think that cooking utensils, like a fork or a knife, are dangerous. So they decided to eat by hands/ with the hands junk food with many calories and sugar, for example hot dogs, hamburgers or pizza.
But the worst of all is that people prefer to eat this kind of food because they think is easier and faster to consuming, so in this way, people get fat and with serious health problems.
Who are you? I can't find you onmy students' list.
DeleteSorry about that.
Sorry Nacho, I'm Adrián Collazo González
DeleteHi Nacho. I´m Adrián Vila
ReplyDeleteA shocking video, which shows us that every day obesity is present in the society.
All this is because of the education that parents give to their children.
The most shocking is when children do not know the plant and do not know their names.
I think Jamie Oliver is a role model for many families and should learn from him.
A greeting
Not bad, Adrián, but remember there is no google translator for exams...
DeleteA greeting > greetings
Hello Nacho!
ReplyDeleteI saw the video again. It seems very good.
I think if people behave this way is because of the governments of their countries, because it makes them believe that scissors and knives are dangerous; but it is not, because they do not cut themselves but the fault of the people misusing them.
This is causing children to have a poor diet and some of them do not know some vegetables or legumes.
Too much google translator!
DeleteI am sure you can do something similar with your own words.
hi nacho i'm andres. unfortunately I have not heard much, but thanks to your clases and google traductor ,i understand many things.
ReplyDeletethe firts what jaime oliver , is right. the obesiti ,is a serious problem , not only united satates ,is problem of all countries.
the obesity needs solution immediate and urgent.
i think what the government should perform in the school , invest much in sports and food education .
this video should view everybody .independently what country you are.
Ok, not bad.
Delete1) Careful with capital letters (I, Andrés, unfortunately)
2) classes, translator
3) that Vs what
4) verbs without subject (is problem of...)
5) order in a sentence
Hi Nacho
ReplyDeleteMy opinion on this video is that it is very bad to see people eating can damage your health and your environment.
People today do not have time to stop and then go to cooking method easy eating fast food, to the point that children are not difference the vegetables.
The video tries to teach adults their children to learn to cook and so do not have to always eat hamburgers, hot dogs, pizza, etc.
Greetings Nuria.
Thanks, Nuria.
DeleteThe big problem with your writing is that you should first order your ideas in your head and then write an outline.
Bye!
What I call more attention in this video (among other things) It was this:
ReplyDelete1-That there are more deaths annually than obesity homicide is sad.
2-Monitors the cafeteria doesn't teach you to differentiate don't they never will learn.
3-That children shpuld leave ten primary recipes learned to survive alone.
I completely agree with Jamie and I think him and all those around you will be able to change people's ideas about feeding.
I'll stick with one sentence: "Obesity can be avoided".
A greeting,Lara.
Thanks, Lara.
DeleteYou must order words and try to write easy sentences first.
Hi Nacho!
ReplyDeleteThis video is very interesting.
In my opinion the obessity is a serious ill, people who are too fat don´t good health.
I think that the problem is parents, they haven´t enough time for preparing a healthy food for their children; and schools, teachers don´t worry for children´s feed.
In the video, I don´t understand why people laugh and applausse Jamie Oliver says of the obbesity because i think that is a serious theme.
Greeting, Eva.
Thanks for participating, Eva!
DeleteWell done! But be careful with translating from Spanish.
Make clear in your mind what you want to say and then use English rules.
Hello, Nacho. I am Irene.
ReplyDeleteThis video is very interesting because you know that there are children who are not educated and do not differentiate the vegetables, fruits ... and that we are fortunate to be able to study what they have.
But who are responsible for these children not pan differentiate foods are the parents who can not take their children to a school and want to learn at home, as if that was enough and what is not.
Thanks Irene!
DeleteYour first paragraph is really good. However, there are some mistakes on the second one.
Hi Nacho, im Noé.
ReplyDeleteI think that he is right, becouse the people should be educated healthy eating teaching the children is important for the future. So that people don´t have health problems, and the big companys make money by selling fast food
Ok, thanks Noé.
DeleteHi Nacho, I´m Ainhoa.
ReplyDeleteI like the video and I´m agree with Jamie Oliver because it´s true what he says. This is the reality. The new generation will be so obese if we don´t change. a good example is Britney (or Britany, I don´t remember the name), she fat because she doesn´t care her health.
Jamie Oliver says that in America the first cause of death is the obesity. The obesity before cancer or smoking. This isn´t normal. Another thing that is disturbing is that young children don´t know identificae vegetables. If we want that the future generation will be good, we have to start acting now.
Greeting, Ainhoa.
Check these things:
Delete- I´m agree
- change. a good
- remember the name
- she fat
- doesn´t care her health
- the obesity
- The obesity before cancer or smoking (verb?)
- Another thing that is disturbing is that (style)
- young children don´t know identificate
- If we want that the future generation will be good
These are your mistakes. Try to solve them on your own and then ask me.
Bye!
Hi Nacho.
ReplyDeleteThis video show a shocking reality that affects great many people. In USA the bigger killer is the fast food, it reflect in the multitude of illness.
The obesity not only affect yourself, too the people arround you and love. The example of video is Marissa, she is healthy but she saw die for obesity her father and her uncle.
Jamie Oliver say that there is absence of food education, is truth. In home people consume more satured food and drink, is the case of Stacy and her family. In the school the children too eat and drink thing unhealthy, this because have a adjust budget and they decide cut back in diet. And the street, big business, supermarket... they have a control, are very power. All this increase the obesity in the society, and we can observe the exemple of Brittany. Her unhealthy food is killing her.
We should start to change all this and to educate in the healthy life to the new generation.
This is the great video and Jamie Oliver is a great person.
Too I wish that people make aware because is not a problem in USA if not great part of the world.
Greeting, Andrea.
Have a look at these expressions again:
Delete- This video show
- great many
- the bigger killer is the fast food
- it reflect in
- multitude of illness
- obesity not only affect
- not only affect yourself, too the people
- arround
- she saw die for obesity her father and her uncle
- Jamie Oliver say
- there is absence of (make it easy!)
- is truth
- In home
- more satured
- is the case of Stacy and her family.
- In the school
- the children too eat and drink thing unhealthy,
- unhealthy, this because have
- they decide cut back in diet
- diet. And the street,
- they have a control, are very power.
- All this increase
- in the society
- and to educate in the healthy life to the new generation. (word order)
- This is the great video
- Too I wish that people
- people make aware because is not a problem
- because is not a problem in USA if not great part of the world.
There are many mistakes which I am sure you can check on your own. Try it and ask me if you need it.
Bye!
I liked too much the presentation.
ReplyDeleteI am agree with everything.
the obesity is a real problem in the E.E.U.U.
it's very sad that children don't eat vegetables in the E.E.U.U. every day.
That is aproblemvery important. Carlos Alonso.
I liked the presentation by Oliver. The last year we saw a documentary about rubish food in EEUU. It is true that in the E.E.U.U. nutrition is not very healthy but is true as well that eating heatlthy in the EEUU is very expensive. My conclusion is that the government should give more resources to the nutritional education and stop the interests of the alimentary lobbies.

Hi Nacho.
ReplyDeleteI´m Carlos Cordido.
I liked this video is very interesting.
The obesity is a serious problem for many children in the world, they are the future, and we don´t want a future full of fats.
The governmmetns know this problem but they don´t put solutions becase they recive much money of the alimentary lobbies.
The solution for this problem isn´t easy , because the alimentary lobbies have very power.
Is very important that parents and teachers instruct the chindrens to eat healthy and regulary play sports.
Bye!
