Every day a chemical compound called carbon dioxide (CO2) is produced and released into the air. If it isn’t removed, it can become toxic for humans. Fortunately, there are a number of places where CO2 is absorbed (removed from the air). Two of the most common places are forests and oceans. They are called ‘carbon sinks’ because, like a sink, they gather, clean and drain things away that we don’t want. One of the largest carbon sinks in New Zealand is a forest in the south-western part of the South Island. It drains away 60% of our unwanted carbon!
Let’s imagine that you could design a sink that could gather up and then drain away any foods that you don’t like. On your blog, tell us what you would put in your special sink. If it was me, I would put rice pudding, brussel sprouts, custard, parsnips, and seafood chowder in the sink. Yuck! What about you?
On your blog, list all of the foods that you would put in your special draining sink..
Celery
Capsicum
Tomato
Eggplant
Sardines
Tamarillo
Tuna
Blue cheese
Rice pudding
Parsnip
Fish
Wow, what an interesting list of foods you don't like! I am loving learning more about you and I think I hate 5 of the things on your list too. Up until 2018 I hated fish, now I would happily eat it for dinner almost every night. It's quite incredible how your tastebuds can change as you get older. Can you eat tomatoes in anything? For example on pizza, in a sald or even tomato sauce?

Hi Georgia,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the comment. I find it interesting learning more about other people too. I hate only some fish. I hate shell fish but I love prawns in fried rice and I love my nana's crumbed fish. I also sort of like salmon. I don't like tomatoes in salads but I love tomato sauce.
