hey i'm farrah and in arabic it means happiness but i don't like when people call me that way.

i know i'm a bit late for the introduction but you know what they say save the best for last.i'm a fun person very grounded and mostly i tend to be a bit stubborn when it comes to ethics and stuff that i believe in.i hate watching romantic movies ,but love reading books practically all kind and eat fast food because i'm always in a hurry.

i think that this is pretty much it.

about alternative medicines

Homeopathy and herbal medicines are both good alternative medicines to treat illnesses. some people might prefer herbal medicines while others prefer homeopathic medicines.and every medicine has got it's own benefits and it's own side effects. and if i was ill and i prefer alternative treatments (which i don't) i would pick homeopathy because shaking the medicine violentley prevents the unwanted side effects which makes it safer. but i hope i won't need any medicine or treatment, i always want to be healthyto live a better life.

well when it comes to treatment i think i'll choose herbal medicine over homeopathy although i hope won't have to try and stay as healthy as possible.first of all i picked herbal medicine because it makes more sens i mean we already use plants to make pills.besides, homeopathy is all about dilluting and shaking, dilluting and shaking it's not logical because if you put some much water in it it will loose its efficiency.but i guess it's so contreversial we won't all agree on the same thing.

Alternative medicine

About world food day

I don't know what to say i mean people still are not aware of the poverty that's happening around the world people in africa for example usually die from hunger every month or even every day and rich people just "WASTE" the food as if it's like garbage or something while many poor people wish for that food. the solution is that the government should raise awareness by making some campaigns also the government should gather the fresh food, clean it ,then give it to the poor people. and if many of us gather what's left from the food and give the food to the charities to donate it to poor people believe me it's going to make a difference and always remember it's never too late.

We are the world

i'm not really sure of what i'm supposed to talk about because food issues are spread in the whole wide world.i mean some suffer from lack and some are dealing with waste of tons of food. i just wish i can say we can fix this problem easily but it's going to take more than raising consciousness about it.People are suffering from hunger in africa especially southern coutries i mean some are suffering from several diseaes du to the lack of nutritients in their food.Though, some simple steps may help us like donating money to charity cases like FAO or even try to help out with a simple amount of food for those countries who are in great need for it.

i just hope that one day we'll grow aware of how huge this disaster we're heading towards is and act before it's too late.
