Lit Assignment 3

Blog Prompt:
Imagine...As you walk down the street, you glance at your watch. It reads 2.00. Suddenly your stomach grumbles and attracts the attention of a few other people. Looking embarassed, you quickly spy a hawker centre. you immediately dash towards it. you select a stall(Char Kway Teow) and buy a plate of... Char Kway Teow!(What a surprise!) Tasting it, you can feel the tender noodles in your mouth, taste the salt...you take a sip. Ahhh...the sweet taste of monosodium glutemate...
BUT... Is this good for you?
If salt destroys your kidneys (which filters your blood of impurities) and monosodium glutemate corrupts your liver(which rids your body of most poisons in small amounts), why are we consuming it???
If spring onion, ginko nut, brocolli, asparagus, and other assorted vegetables are good for you, why does almost no one like it?
If humans like stuff that are poisons to us and shun food that is beneficial, I wonder how our health will be like in 30 years?

I feel that it is really not good for u as salt affects your health really badly we shoudl eat or consume more vegetables like the brocoli and others. Eating fruits is also very important as the syaing goes an aple a day keeps the doctor away.
