Analysis of Common Foods

In the short story “Star Food” by Ethan Canin, a young adult named Dade disappoints both of his parents for the first time when he lets a woman steal from the family store. Dade’s parents have always been opposites, and they have always had conflicting plans for Dade. Dade has constantly had to choose between the two, usually pleasing one and disappointing the other in the process. Therefore, when the woman steals and Dade catches her, Dade has to once again choose between his parents expectations. Dade decides to let the woman go to symbolize him essentially choosing his mom in the end over his dad.

Michael Pollan, the author of “In Defense of Food”, is a journalist, who is engrossed in nutritional science as well as its history. By writing this book, Pollan tries to undermine the food industries and health-claiming campaigns and inform us how they misled us about the way we should eat. The low-fat campaign is an example of this, and as said on page 43 of the book, “the low-fat campaign has been based on little scientific evidence and may have caused unintended health consequences.” In the book, Pollan speaks from the perspective of a journalist who wants to share his ideas and discoveries about nutrition. He sounds a little bemused and apprehensive at the same time. When talking about plant foods on page 64, he tries to understand what

Do you believe restaurants should be required to label the calories ,fat content, and sodium on their menus? I agree to this controversial argument! If a law was created that required restaurants and diners around the nation to display calories and other health concerns many people would be healthier.

We tested five common food items to determine which macromolecules were present. We tested for the macromolecules of simple and complex carbohydrates (sugars and starch), lipids, and proteins. The foods tested were coconut milk, karo syrup, potato chips, peanut butter, and banana baby food. We hypothesized that coconut milk would contain all four types of macromolecules, karo syrup would only contain simple sugars which are monosaccharides and/or disaccharides, potato chips would contain starches and fats, peanut butter would contain sugars, fats, and proteins, and banana baby food would consist of sugars and starch. Each macromolecule test consisted of five test tubes of the food item individually diluted into solutions for

The Significance of Food In the short story, “Recitatif,” by Toni Morrison, food represents something that people come together for, whether this be purposefully or by coincidence. When Roberta and Twyla had just arrived at the girl’s home, they were not welcomed by the other girls due to their backgrounds, so they befriended each other. When the story explains and describes the budding of Roberta and Twyla’s friendship, part of the description is based on the idea of coming together for a meal, and sharing not only time together, but actual food too. “Roberta hated it and left whole pieces of things on her plate...and she didn’t care if I ate what she wouldn’t” (244).

People have lost sight of the common denominator with all the finger pointing, when it comes to the intriguing argument of whom or what determines what we eat. Individuals have forgotten the process of supply and demand, democracy, and most important individual choices.

For my food menu, I can say that I honestly had to due a lot of thinking to 'dish' out a good idea. For starters, the main dish of meal is a serving of Rice. One cup of rice contains 206 calories. The fat contained within the rice is about 0.4 grams. The rice also contains 2 milligrams of sodium and 55 milligrams of potassium. The total carbohydrates found in the dish equate to about 45 grams. White Rice, although not unhealthy, is not a significant source of any vitamins. However, when eaten in multiple 1 cup servings, it could accumulate to be a rather sufficient source of vitamin B-6 and of Magnesium. Also, each cup contains 4.3 grams of protein. This dish was decided as the main dish, as it doesn't differ to much from my family's cuisine,

Recently I ate at Benihana, a Japanese restaurant. I decided I would go back anytime because the service was great, the food was delicious, the food was cooked in front of us, and the chef was very nice.

This class was al life changing class and all the materials we have been exposed to were full of precious information about food and nutrition ; but the most important lesson that I learned through this semester is the harm that agribusiness and food companies are doing to our health and to our children health. Big companies are blind when it comes to earning money, they could do anything to make more money even making our kids sick. They are powerful and can manipulate the Medias, the public believes and even laws and policies. Food we buy from those companies is full of pesticides, chemicals, antibiotics, GMOs and flavors. Actually, they are controlling the whole food system from the farm to the supermarket. After this course opened my

The significance of these factors, like many things, are dependent on the context. The US currently practices a “no-tolerance” policy regarding the presence of Listeria in food products, but other countries may differ, and for good reason. The true disease-causing impact of a given level of contamination will depend on several other factors including the highest dose ingested within a product, the cooking of the product on the consumer side, the serotype of bacteria, age, and the presence of an immunocompromised state. The serotypes found in France show that there is at least potential for disease-causing serotypes to escape common disinfecting procedures and thus to be available to continue contaminating meat, but the frequency of this
