My food experience was when my sister decided to make these bark cookies called Samoa bark and they are supposed to taste like the Girl Scout cookies. The Girl Scout cookies are called Samoa’s. I love those cookies with a passion. I once ate an entire box by my self in a sitting and gained a pound. That is a lot of weight if you gained it in 10 minutes. So my sister attempted to make the cookies that are to die for. When she had to let the Samoa bark harden I looked at them and they didn’t look like any Samoa cookies like I have seen. I got worried. So after an hour of waiting I got to try a cookie that my sister made. They were really good I liked the texture and most of all the taste. The only problem was they tasted nothing like the Girl Scout cookies. In the end it was a tasty new treat that I really enjoyed. It taught me always try something new because it may surprise you. 

Food poisoning is probably one of the most frustrating disease someone one can catch.  You never know when it will come and there is nothing that can stop it.  Everyone tries their hardest to use the freshest foods and keep everything clean but sometimes, bacteria takes over the kitchen.  It’s hard for everyone to understand what causes food poisoning and therefore, not everyone knows how to prevent it.  Thankfully, I have never had food poisoning because I hear that it is very tiring and painful.  The symptoms are usually diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, abdominal pains and fever.  It is weird to think that something so little can turn around and bite you in the butt, and get you so, so sick.  Our bodies need food, it is the most important thing to stay alive, but it is also very dangerous.  People always have to keep caution of what they are putting in their body.  Also, some people are deathly allergic to certain foods, unlike others.  Others choose not to eat certain foods, like meats, or dairy.  When it comes to food, everyone can be hurt by it in some way, whether it’s by food poisoning or by being allergic. Even though food is most important, it could also be most dangerous.
