Imagine the tallest building in the United States. Fill that giant building 44 times with rotten fruits and vegetables. Now you know how much food Americans waste every year.

It is hard to believe, right? About 133 billion pounds of food get thrown away. That’s one-third of all the food we produce. And a lot of it is thrown away for one simple reason: It’s ugly.

The problem is that nature isn’t perfect. Apples can get scarred (留下疤痕) by storms. Cucumbers grow in C shapes. Carrots change into unusual fork-like forms. Watermelons get too big to fit on a refrigerator shelf. These crazy-looking fruits and vegetables may taste great. But most grocery stores refuse to sell them. Store owners say people judge food by how it looks. No one wants a tomato that looks like a two-headed monster. But what if you could buy that tomato for half-price?

A new movement is trying to make people see the “beauty” in ugly food. Some stores are selling ugly produce. It tastes the same. And you pay less for it because the food doesn’t look perfect.

Usually, the stores find a nicer word than “ugly”. A Canadian chain uses “naturally imperfect”. In some US stores, it’s “misfit produce”. Whatever you call it, ugly food helps many people. Fanners get paid for food they were going to have to throw away. Shoppers get cheaper fruits and vegetables. The ugly-food movement will also help some of the 44 million Americans who don’t have enough to eat. Many groups give the ugly produce to hungry people.

So really, who cares if that carrot looks a little… ugly?

A recent report suggested that an average person checks his or her cell phone 150 times a day. 1.They may not know using their cell phones may put themselves or their loved ones in danger.2.At least 200,000 car accidents were caused by texting messages.

3.A survey done by the Pew Institute suggested that Americans in the age range of 18 to 29 years old send 88 text messages a day. When you’re walking home from work, you don’t need your head-phones making loud noises in your ears. There is a much greater place to create positive emotions that will make us happier and much more fulfilled. Those emotions are within us, and by blocking these feelings with all of our latest technologies, we may be harming ourselves.4.

We need to take back control of our minds and stop compulsively checking our emails, Facebook updates, and text messages. I think we can live a happier life if we pay more attention to ourselves and the people we are speaking with. 5. Think about what parents are doing to children’s emotional well-being when they focus on their cell phones rather than their children.
