response post

While reading through google docs, i stumbled on john hamiltons post about our recent feild trip to the farmers market. To be truthful, when i got there, i thought it was going to be a lot bigger, but once walking around and seeing the items, it got interesting. as john said in his post,
" when we had got to the farmers market every thing changed. once i saw all the stands filled with veggies and fruit i was truly amazed. i had only been to the farmers market once before and that was in middle school. this time it was a little different because i had to ask the farmers questions. now i did not really want to do so but i did and i heard about some fruits that never came up in my mind. i saw veggies that i never see at the super market. its a lot better tasting food at the farmers market and i would like to go back. i am just glad we got to go on a Field trip there. it was really cool."
I agree with jonhs post. When we first arived i thought it was only like one street long, and it didnt look as if they had a lot of stands, but little did i know that there was a corner to turn, with a lot more stands, and other different types of vegtables. I have never been to this particular farmers market, but i have been to plenty before. My grandma used to go every saturday, in hercules and i used to tag along, and help pick out the best fruit. I would get to piuck one of my own, and she would pick one, and we would share with eachohter often. So this feild trip did bring some memories from child hood. I think it was fun to walk around with my freinds and peers, to examine the farmers and ask questions. I had some answers that i expected, and some i really didnt . Some people traveled hours just to get to the farmers market to sell their crops. Some said tht some weeks that can ,make lots of money, while others, they can make close to none. They said it matters exactley what is in "season" and if it is not, they will not get a good sell on what they are trying to get a profit on. I think it went well how we did an essay on our diets, and we went to a farmers market to closly observe it. I think it was good timing, and i like how she planned it. I really thought about changing my diet, but on the same day, i still ate burgerking, so i wasnt that happy with my "future" diet. Hopefully, llater in my life i can change my unl=healthy lifestyle, but for now, im jst living life

  1. Changing the way you eat is harder than heck to do and keep up. I'm attempting it these days, and my old habits are putting up lots of resistance. Give yourself time and patience...and hard work.
