Final Blog Post

In conclusion, we felt that this 20 time was very productive for both of us but we also feel that it could benefit our community as a whole. The final product of our project is only a small collection of a couple of recipes. Although we intended at first to create a large recipe book, we were unable to find the time to expand our recipes. However we do plan on creating more recipes over the summer for football and eventually uploading them onto this blog or creating a separate recipe book. We feel that we succeeded with this project because we were able to eat healthier through out this process, learn about the benefits of healthy eating, and become more conscious about our diet. Before this project, we both believed that exercise and working out was the most important part of living a healthy life. However this project helped us realize that a healthy diet is just as important or even more important than simply working out. The main questions we still have are ways to reach a broader audience. We enjoyed what we did so much and want to continue in order to help as many people as possible. Obesity and diabetes are becoming a very prevalent problem in the western world and without changing our diets there will be no way to reverse the damage. If we were still doing this in class for another semester I think we could rapidly expand on the recipes we currently have and find a way to put the word out for our blog so we could potentially get a bigger audience and then helping more people.
For our TED talk, we felt that we were able to get our points across and present our project well to the class. We discussed our project, what we learned, the process of the project, and what the audience could take away from our presentation. We also were able to deliver our speech well and also make eye contact and attempt to keep the audience engagned.
