A Rhetorical Analysis Of Love And Das

When asked about the hunger problems in America one would imagine a homeless person asking and begging for food in the streets. However, what we fail to understand is that hunger is closer to us than what we think. A fellow co-worker or perhaps even the next door neighbor may be an example of someone who suffers from food insecurity. Food insecurity is when a person does not know when or where the next meal will come from. Food insecurity is most likely to develop in food deserts, a place where there is little to no fruits, vegetables and whole healthy foods. The documentary, A Place At The Table, is attempting to shed light on the argument that many Americans suffer from food insecurity because of low income and as result those individuals face various complications.

Food deserts are one of the main causes of obesity in lower income areas, and while initiatives are being created to solve this problem, more than just a few initiatives are needed to change the obesity issue.

Diverse groups in American society are often the most marginalized and therefore the most vulnerable to issues that undermine the fair and uncomplicated pursuit of health and wellbeing. One of those issues is the lack of access to affordable healthy food and, in many cases, the inaccessibility to food in general. Areas where affordable and healthy foods are largely unavailable are called food deserts and the members of the diverse groups that live in such areas or that have access to very little food at all often develop a sense of food insecurity. One of the groups that is increasingly impacted by food deserts and food insecurity is the nation’s elderly population which is, by most standards, defined as those individuals aged 65 and older. The following paper investigates this phenomenon by addressing the elderly population of Ada County, Idaho as representative of this diverse and often disenfranchised population. The paper investigates the issue of food deserts and food insecurity that threaten the health and wellbeing of the elderly in the context of the various elements of social determinants of health that contribute to their development and persistence. The paper also includes proposals for individual and population-based strategies to improve access to healthy and affordable food by this population as well as improve the health and wellbeing of its members.

The issues of obesity and food deserts are important, and many people have questions about these topics. What makes this important though? To dig even deeper, what are the significant factors of both topics? The answer to the most pressing subject of modern times will now be determined.

Macklemore’s song, “Same Love,” with Ryan Lewis, featuring Mary Lambert, tells the younger generation about discrimination against gays, homophobia, and inequality. The song calls out people who want freedom, where our country came from, and what are religion says to show how if we don’t accept gays, there is a lot we can never have. Macklemore is disappointed with the way hip hop and rap talk about gay people without realizing how difficult they are making gay’s lives. It is also great when Macklemore practically asks religious people how exactly they do not support gay rights, and why they believe it is wrong because God is supposed to love everyone. Macklemore gives his honest opinion on how he feels everyone should be equal, and there are no “buts” or “ifs.” I stand by his opinion about love being love no matter what. Macklemore’s song, “Same Love,” he talks about societies false ideas of gays, the way the term “gay” is used in hip hop music, and that we are not equal until we allow gay rights with a huge change at heart.

Methods of Narration We readers may read a great deal of fictions narrated in the first person or third person point of view. They are so prevalent that authors can provide us with the images of the characters, actions, and sometimes other images like we are watching movies. Nonetheless, as soon as they scan through Junot Diaz's "The Cheater's Guide to Love," readers may suddenly notice the unconventional techniques used in this work. The author shows an effective way to evoke readers' emotion and empathy by using second-person limited point of view along with the present tense.

Raj Patel’s Stuffed and Starved analyzes the paradoxical content in its title statement. Patel demonstrates how the world food system has created two opposite, but inherently linked epidemics: obesity and crippling hunger. Throughout the course of this book, it becomes painfully clear that the majority of the world’s population is being manipulated by our global food system and by the corporations and their CEO’s who control it. Patel encourages his readers to make themselves politically responsible (313) and through Stuffed and Starved, highlights the discrepancies and major imbalances of our world food system, the small percentage of people who benefit from it, and the vast majority of humanity who does not. He does all this while

Though it seems a daunting task, food deserts can be conquered. Morton and Blanchard (2007) believe there are key points in this. For starters, they believe the focus on economic development to mitigate population loss is a central reason for the exodus of local grocers. Therefore, targeting federal food and nutrition programs to areas designated as food deserts in rural America is key. In these efforts, advocating for advantageous wholesale prices and distribution networks is essential. Furthermore, shopping locally and creating campaigns to buy locally can revitalize rural neighborhoods and increase the community tax base. Connecting local food producers to local markets is mutually beneficial; as fresh, high-quality foods are needed to hold

Food deserts continual existence comes from the fact that nobody really has an awareness of its existence. Speaking from my own experience, I did not know anything about food deserts or what a food desert was until I started doing research. The government must fix this difficult situation and steps have been taken already, “in 2010 U.S. Pres. Barrack Obama has proposed the Healthy Food Financing Initiative (HFFI), which encouraged retailers to bring healthy foods to impoverished urban and rural communities” . However, with the government dealing with many other problems, the food desert problem doesn’t seem to be a main priority at the current moment for them. Consequently, this puts us in a position where we have to step up. People need to become more aware of this situation and how it greatly affects the people living in these communities in a very unhealthy way, “food desert resides thus face both geography and selection limitation, which could push consumers toward less healthy fare” .

While once people living in poverty were thought to be underweight and skinny, the Obesity and Hunger Paradox would say they are not. This is mostly due to the fact that the poor population is not able to afford high quality food and has to settle and buy whichever food is filling and available to them. A study conducted in 2012 by Katherine Koh, sought to find the correlation between the adult homeless population’s BMI in comparison to the adult non-homeless population. The study consisted of 5,632 homeless adults, of which the BMI averaged 28.4 kg/m, the prevalence of obesity was 32.3%, and only 1.6% of the homeless were underweight. In comparison, the non-homeless had a mean BMI was 26.8kg/m, meaning that the difference in between the two

In the United States, millions of Americans are left hungry due to limited access to nutritional food on a regular basis. There is a vast disparity in those with access to food based on a number of factors, such as race, access to private transportation, and income. These factors all stem from one overarching idea, geography. Those without access to nutritional food originate from low-income areas that are miles away from a supermarket and they must depend on local convenience stores. The issue of food deserts therefore arise as particular areas in the US grow hungrier due to an inability to attain the high-quality food that many Americans are accustomed to.

Healthy fruit, vegetables, and other wholesome food alternatives in impoverished areas such as these are often far from accessible, or are lacking altogether (Allen, 20). My previous essay and interview detailed that factor, finding and interviewing a manager employed at one of the only available slow food, organic grocery stores: Stehly Farms Market. It is my hope that through my efforts on assignment in Linda Vista, both a proverbial and literal seed of change will take root in my neighborhood to disseminate information about the just food revolution and create stronger ties to the community and its members on the

Not being able to provide everything possible for someone you love is an unshakable feeling, especially if that someone is the child you brought into this world. As they grow, you sit back and watch, help them when it’s needed, and do anything you can, physically, mentally and emotionally, to prepare them for the long road ahead. A parent’s love for their child is unconditional and proves that nothing is out of reach when it comes to the long life of health, happiness and well-being of their kids. The rhetorical analysis in the My Dad Lies commercial appeals to any legal guardian or parent that has a child and wants them to succeed in life.

The World Hunger Education Service (2011) describes world hunger as the want or scarcity of food or nutrients in a country. World hunger is an insidious issue that impedes progress for millions worldwide. World hunger is not only a physical need, but also has emotional and ethical implications. Living in “obesogenic” America where supermarkets display hundreds of thousands of food items and obesity affects more than 30.6% of all Americans (Nation Masters, 2011), it is unimaginable to concede that world hunger still exists. As a U. S. dietitian working with many morbidly obese patients and others with obesity-related diseases, it is unthinkable that it

However, in the recent film “A Place at the Table”, this idea was tarnished. The film sought to expose the presence of hunger in the United States through the documentation of the life of Americans who are unable to afford food. Jeff Bridges took on the role of a devoted advocate in the battle against starvation in America. The US Department of Agriculture’s statistical findings revealed that out of the 50 million American residents that do not consume healthy nutritious
