   The way my ancestors cooked chicken stew has changed from the way I cook it now. I believe that the way it was cooked before is healthier than now, because the ingredients were totally different and were also from natural resources. Now days the chicken stew has a lot of artificial condiments that can cause health problems, like cholesterol, diabetes and other types of diseases.  The chicken they used was different, the onions everything was diverse from now. In this essay you will learn the difference and similarities between these two plates.

   The most notable difference between these two kinds of plate is their recipe and the way it was cooked.  The chicken stew from my ancestor was organic and was kept all their natural conditions and the condiments were fresher.  The Chicken stew from now however is not organic and it lack a lot of its flavor characteristics because there are some other chemical products added to the natural food.  The chicken from the past was season well with natural condiments right away to be cooked. Now the chicken is season and put it in the freezer for a long time. After searching to find out which chicken stew is better, I have an example. I told my grandmother how the chicken stew was made in the traditional old fashioned way, she told me that even the way the chicken stew look was different.  However she even showed me a picture and there I saw the difference and I realized how healthier the way they cooked the chicken stew was.

       As the time has passed the way I cook chicken stew I notice there are more condiments to use now than before. When I’m cooking this plate I use the olive oil because it’s not that bad like the other oils. However the oil my ancestor used was the canola oil which was made natural of vegetables. The oil they used gave the chicken stew a delicious flavor and at the same time the people were eating in a way that it the chicken stew didn’t contain greasy like nowadays.  Even though both are oil, the way it was made and where it came from it different. The canola oil was made at the house, not like now that we don’t even know who makes the oil, or what condiments are added to the oils. Sometimes the chicken stew has a lot of oil which contribute the health of people of having problems like diabetes, high cholesterol and sometimes even worse.

   Yet another difference between these two types of plate is also the onions that are used to prepare the chicken stew, in 1911 the pearl onions were the ones they used to cook the chicken stew. The onions were not fries like the way I do it, they would boil the onions.  The onions were fresh and were cultivated near the house. However when I cook I use red onions. Different from before the onions now have condiments in a way that they can last longer time. I personally think that everything that was used before to cook the chicken stew was healthier than now.  I read in a book that the reason why many people are getting diseases nowadays is because of all the hormones that the food has.

   Comparing two similar foods we notice another difference. The vegetables were another thing that contribute a lot in the way the chicken stew was cooked and the taste also, because the potatoes were sweet, and now days I cook the chicken with regular potato.  It’s really calls my attention to see how a same plate from 1911 could have a different recipe and taste so different. I have an example of an article I read and it says that the way the food from100-500 years ago was such a different thing from now days because the food before wasn’t so proceed like today. The people back then were healthier, and the food had better taste than now.

       In conclusion even though the chicken stew was made also 100- 150 years ago, we can’t discuss that before it was totally natural and healthier for our body. However I think you can still eat like our ancestor with you wants to; buy buying organic food that can make a difference in the way you eat. The reality is that even though they are the same plate from different times and have different ingredients the better chicken stew is the one of my ancestor.

                

A cool movie about food!!!

wow im surprise of how much junk food we eat each day. i wish things can change and that the way we eat can be different. i would like to start eating more vegetables and food that will help me be healthier and with energy. i feel really sorry because we eat a lot of chicken and we dont notice how is that this chicken are so huge, because of all the condiments and hormones. this is not the right way of eating not just because this junk food are not that expensive, but we need to think about more careful about the food our family eat. however something that called my attention was that the national wanted the beef taste the same everywhere, they change the way to produce this beef. its really sad how this chicken can't even stand because the weigh is so huge for them, tehy can't even support it. when i saw the mom that was talking about her son that died 7 years ago, because of the food he ate, makes me feel scared of what are we really eating.
