Food Label Comparison

Snack: Flaming Hot Cheetos Cereal: Lucky Charms Drink: Rockstar -Here are a few of the snack I have. They have the worst sugar and carbohydrate grams. Even though I do not drink/eat them on a daily basis I decided to choose the unhealthiest snacks I eat when I am watching a movie at my house or when I have nothing else to eat. I realized that I will not be having these choices anytime soon. All of these have artificial flavors which are never the best choice in anyones meals. Since I am a very big caffeine lover I believe that the energy drinks will help me out when I feel my energy levels are low.

Introduction 7/1

Here is a little about me. My name is Irma Lopez. I am 24 years old. I am from Carlsbad and have lived here all my life. I love that the beach is less than 5 minutes away from my house. I love going to to Tijuana/Rosarito, Baja California, Mexico whenever I have a chance. I feel like it's my home away from home :)

 I am currently working on my BA at UCR for Languages and literature. I love learning about science and nutrition; that is the reason that I'm taking this class! I would also like to complete a Certificate in Kinesiology at Palomar. I love traveling, learning about new cultures, soccer and dancing. Anything that has to do with a different countries and languages fascinates me. That is my biggest passion. I'm multilingual-- I speak English, Spanish, French and Italian. My goal is to visit at least each country once before the age of 35.
