Dear F&N learners,
Below is an extract from the video "Supersize Me". This extract shows a very interesting comparison amongst the decomposition (breaking down) of various types of fast food.
Highlighted in the video were french fries from a popular fast food restaurant, which did not decompose as fast as the rest. They appeared fresh-looking despite several weeks of being placed in the jar. Note that french fries are deep-fried and have the highest percentage of fats. I gather what the director Morgan Spurlock is trying to relate is that:
1)We need to know what makes up our food. What causes the french fries to remain fresh-looking?
2)Note that in all the fast foods used, fats do not break down as easily as the other nutrients found in the food (thus our body cannot break down fats easily too).
Though this may not be a perfect experiment, still it is interesting to note that high fat foods are harmful to our health. Happy viewing!
