“Playtime is Over”

In the passage, "Playtime is Over" written by David Elkind describes how schools are eliminating recess time for children and some other schools are hiring coaches to recess time, which is very disadvantageous for the growth of children as it is also the time when they can socialize according Helbertment a sociologist, play time is part of child's socialized process, and if this process is not completed the child may not socialize well in their growth.

The elimination of recess time for more classes also lead to the disappearance of what is known as culture of childhood, the elimination of recess time for more classes also lead to the disappearance of what is known as culture of childhood, including songs, rhymes, games, etc., passed through generations to generations.

It's very nice to see the, games, singing songs in school still exists that tradition for future generations and in my particular experience in which I had a brother at the age of 15 years and in which I experienced as my little brother chanted and playing games that I used to play and chant when I was a child at the school.

The recess time is the time very necessary for growing children as it proved necessary to have a break to relax and clarify the mind to pursue education is not very advisable to be guarded at the time, since at that time is where they can interact with other peers and socialize and be themselves and learn to behave in those moments of freedom.

In conclusion, the elimination of recess will not result in better performance on learning, neither having recess coaches, but yes hiring competitive teachers and also providing best resources and tools for students will achieved better academic outcomes for students.

Bottled Water Myth Versus Reality

The myth of “bottled water is safer than tap water “, the reality is that with the bottled water is regulated for FDA which means food and drug administration and does not reported requirements, on the other hand the tap water is regular controlled by the EPA which is an independent federal agency established to coordinated programs aimed at reducing pollution and protecting environment, also local health departments labs provide often testing of the water which show any violations of drinking water quality standards, I have come across of one of this tests when I have a business at midtown Manhattan in which a private lab company came to my business to do the testing of the water, so until that time I have no idea that those kind of test are been made.

In some cities’ the tap water is not the best but the best solution is to make tap water safe to drink instead drinking the bottled water which is more contamination for the world environment.

Mom, Dad, Buy the Broccoli

The passage from The New York Times “Mom, Dad, Buy the Broccoli” on December 2006, explain how the 10 food and beverage manufactures come up with a group call The Children’s Food and Beverage Advertising Initiative, by enforcing their own individual guidelines, such as putting cartoon characters on their products to fool children into eating unhealthy foods.
That effort will just benefit to the big junk food and beverages manufactures like Coca Cola, Pepsi, McDonald's’, etc. But for the children under twelve and other consumers will end up in obesity and other illness like diabetes.
Such guide lines promises cut in half the advertise especially where children attend more like schools and playgrounds movie theaters, unfortunately, not yet come true because unlike as are more focused on attracting consumers especially children under twelve years, and that I personally see, for example in cases of popcorn at the movie theaters still have the flashy cartoons of the film that is fashionable.
Lately there has been growth of obesity and diabetes in North America as well as the growth of junk food, and the other hand advertised almost no healthy products and lifestyles of such products like vegetables and Activities outdoors, because not only eating healthy food will help in the fight against obesity and diabetes, but also the good habit of having a daily exercise routine.

In my personal experience I have observed that nutrition in children depends a lot on education in this field with their parents, as children always follow what parents do and this also includes food, is so that if parents tend to eat healthy and prepare their food, so their children can learn the same and also to differentiate food and who will be more familiar with them, so will not occur what happened in an experiment done by "Jamie Oliver's TV show food Revolution in which children were tested to see if they knew the names and seemed as some vegetables, as a result they found that children were unaware of or does know the names of vegetables shown in the experiment.

In conclusion no matter what emphasis to put the food manufacturers to comply with the guide lines and regulations, if children do not have a good education and healthy nutrition followed a daily exercise routine taught by their parents to avoid these diseases.

“Additives”

With A research according Americans consume ninety percent of their food budget on processed food, all these processed foods containing additives substances are treated after being harvested or Butchered for the purpose of changing their way of flavor, color and smell that consumers are influenced in these factors then it is more appealing to consumers the products processed but not healthier 
. 
Usually we see that the foods that have a striking color but also the shelf and flavors that change the taste of most foods if they see in their packing and additives such as vitamins and other supplements that prolong the shelf life are used for human consumption and approved by the FDA which is not a guarantee that it is safe for human consumption but with the studies in the year 1970 with the use of additives and in the 50's and 60's The artificial sweetener cyclamate causes cancer, as well as the study published in The Lancet in November of 2008 Looked at the effects of fruit juice additives on children's Behavior, found that color additives increased the children's hyperactivity in children.
Another factor is what the animals eat all the antibiotics and pesticides will cause mutations and will be bad for human consumption because it is unnatural and in some packaging That show as natural flavor, but is not not healthy because chemists sometimes use fungal and tissue cultures.
In conclusion the way you can eat healthy foods are from nearby farms and the products will be fresh and do not need additives to preserved fresh and not have to travel far to reach consumer's hands, another option is to eat whole foods too or organic foods.

Tutor visit

Visit the class tutors for me personally was a good help and experience in which I could learn and address many concerns that had to develop an essay.
It's very interesting to have this kind of help in class because it is more personal as having more personal assistance is one of the privileges that we all have, I hope we can continue to have this support for classes that are this semester.
