Reflection:
 The event or issue is realted to me in some way becaseu we all eat cereal and if we dont check our things before we buy them or after we buy them. This disease can harm not just on ly me but to the rest of the world and it can actually affect the company and they will be forced to be shut down if they didnt fix the issue. But furthermore said we should just be careful with what we buy and not just get something because it looks good but becaseu it supposed to be healthy.
