Zoo keepers in Mexico make cold treats for animals to help fight against the heat and prevent heatstroke. For some animals its fruit in ice, as a little surprise treat for when they're done. For the carnivores is frozen blood, so they can still get their nutrition from it. As the others get simple blocks of ice, as they just like it that way. Many animals can overheat in such places, so it is very important for them to find a way to cool down.

You can often see it play in restaurants and bars, or one of your family members yelling out at the tv. This sport has 11 people on each team, their goal is to kick the white ball into a huge net. For example, if the ball goes into the red net, blue wins.

The food

My favorite is the way they make Mexican authentic food, much more natural, healthy, and better than processed fast food. Almost leaves a good feeling in your soul, as if the food was truly made with love.

With our food, it is often made by many chemicals in order to keep food fresh, but what it can also do is harm our bodies. It could also have very harmful dyes, like red 40. It is so bad, that even some snacks aren't even being sold in Canada.
