McConnell's Mills is a very nice place to take a walk or just clean your mind. There's lot's of nice flowers and trees. We walked the Sippery Rock trail. Learned a couple little fun facts. We also identified different types of trees, flowers, and plants. Very nice place.


We also watched a movie called Food Inc. It's a great film to watch & learn about where the meats come from. & also what they do to them. I learned alot when i watched this video. Some farmers are just money hungry and just care about thereselves. They treat the chicken, pigs, cows & other farm animals with little to no respect. There was a two year old boy that died form eating a hamburger. They used every part of the cow for this burger, which is very unsanitary. The farmers really could careless about what happens to the people that eat the foods. Some of them clean with very stong cleaaning products which can get anyone sick. I'm not gonna tell you to much about it. But, If you havent seen the movie yet I think its a must that you do so.


Why should you buy sustainable foods?

Some people say sustainable foods taste better. There are more and more health benefits being found in meat. Substainable farms are an intergal part of the community, where money made on the farm is filterd back into local bussiness. Studeis have shown that factories farms can tear apart rural communites. Well today we visited a farmers market. We interviewd some of the people who were selling things. Most of there food came from there own farms or it was homemade. The thing they liked most about selling at the farmers market were the people. They were able to advertise and meet new people. A famers market is also wholesale. Most of them do not use geneticaly modified foods. Which is good for the food we eat today. So. buying at a farmers market is better than buying from a grocery store. If you have never visited a farmers market, Its a really place to get fresh fruit!
