Reflection: Shannon

I always thought Shannon seemed really healthy so it kind of surprised me when I read her blog. I never saw anyone who ate so little in one day and ate so many...um, varied things in a single day.

Overall her diet seems fine, but I'm more concerned about the fact that she doesn't seem to be taking much lunch. I know some people believe we should eat only 2 main meals a day for some reason, but I think it's not good to be eating only 2 meals, especially since we're growing kids and need the energy from the food to grow. I was also horrified at her breakfast on Day 3 - ice cream? It seems like a really unhealthy breakfast and also I don't think people should consume cold food in the morning. My mother always tells me not to do that but I don't do that anyway because my stomach is really weak in the morning and I can't stand cold food (in the morning).

The one good thing about her diet is the amount of fruits Shannon eats. I think it's a good habit to include fruits in the diet because unlike vegetables, fruits are tasty and they are also a source of dietary fibre. This means fruits are really healthy and from what I know eating fruits, they seem really filling (or maybe that's just me) so it could help fill up Shannon's belly if it's grumbling over lack of lunch.
