Easter in my town


In my town, Canosa, the time devoted to the Easter rites lasts about two weeks. The first appointment is on Friday before Holy Week with the procession of Our Lady of Sorrows. It lasts until late at night because people are constantly forced to stop to allow the faithful to bind to the black veil. The procession of the Holy Saturday Desolata is unique. The statue of Desolata is preceded by a crowd of children carrying the tools of the Christ’s martyrdom. It follows the chorus of young women, some of them are barefoot, dressed in black with their faces covered and singing "Stabat Mater" a very moving religious song. At the same time people think about traditional cakes to prepare, or they think about going on holiday.

Junk food

Junk food

Why do teenagers prefer junk food ?
It is a word describing foods perceived with little or no nutritional value but actually with ingredients considered unhealthy when regularly eaten, or to those considered unhealthy to consume at all.
Young people consider the ingredients unhealthy when regularly eaten, but unhealthy and easy to consume at all because students and tourists can it eat it wherever they are.
Responsible for this choice by young people has been advertising and television. The marketing against junk food has had an increase in eating disorders and body images.
The youngest they are, the most unhealthy they eat when they aren’t under their parents control. For them junk food means “to be free”.
