The American food industry, just think about what you eat for a minute, where do you think it comes from, how do you think it is made, what do you think it is made out of, how many ingredients are in it. Most people would not give it a second thought, mostly because they do not want to know what they are putting in their body.

On average, Americans spend 90% of their food budget on these types of foods which is found to contribute to the leading causes of obesity, auto immune disease, diabetes and even cancer.

Tea Cake performs the old courtship rituals, indulges in shooting and razor fighting, and plays the dozens and the blues. Compared with Killicks and Starks, former husbands of Janie, Tea Cake prefers interaction and people to ‘things’: “So us goin’ off somewhere and start all in Tea Cake’s way. Dis ain’t no business proposition, and no race after property and titles. Dis is uh love game” (134). In this pastoral setting, Janie regains her voice to tell narratives. Janie feels free to join the notorious ‘lying’ and tale-telling sessions whenever she wants to: “She got so, she could tell big stories herself from listening to the rest” (158). Yet, even with Tea Cake, she has to face intermittent crises and physical aggression. S. Jay Walker has

March 15th, 2010, was a completely normal day. As normal as any day is for a twelve year old homeschooler. I was home with my oldest sister Brittany who was twenty at the time and I was just finishing up my homework for the day. After finishing up my math work I went to go watch television in the living room. Brittany was in her room and my parents didn't get home until later because of work. A few hours into my movie, my stomach started to hurt. Since I was twelve I didn't no the differences of pain so I just left it alone for a while. Later in the day my abdomen was aching so much I couldn't even get off the couch. After wailing for Brittany to call Mom I was sent to the emergency room in an ambulance with severe abdomen pain. After several hours in the ER and multiple tests, doctors found nothing. I was sent home and was told to take Tylenol for the pain. Once I got home, it didn't hurt anymore so I thought they were right and that I could just go on with my crazy life as a twelve year old. I was wrong. Two months after, I got the same

This reminds me of my neice who can do anything for a fry. She is really stingy when it comes to fries.

We had finally arrived at the front of the amusement park. We all waited anxiously to get our tickets. Finally we had reached the front of the line and we entered the park we walked past all of the stores. We all rushed to get in line but were stopped by my uncle, who said we must have lunch before we did anything else. So I gobbled down my food, that greased my hands and filled the plate with ketchup. Afterwards, when everyone was done with their food, we got up but was stopped again and was warned by our uncle to wait for our food to settle. But my ignorant self just kept running into the line.

“I have been the best son you could ever ask for”. By this time mom knew that I wanted something. I continued, “Chipotle would be a great reward for a great son”. Being the great mom that she is, she responded, “I was just thinking about how good Chipotle sounded myself”. It was like music to me ear or might I say mouth. My mouth began to water just thinking about how I was going to destroy the burrito that awaited me. Much like a lion would devour his prey. Of course, no blood would be involved, only enough cheese to make any human possibly sick afterwards. Mom would not let me go with her to get the food. I stayed home, pacing back and forth through the house thinking that the floor was going to have permanent indentions from each foot step I took. I could not wait any longer my mouth was watering. I heard the faint squeak of the front door, “squeakkkk”. I ran down stairs, ripped open the bag and began to devouring my prey. No moment could compare to this very instance. I didn’t want it to end, but I knew that the final bite was only a few morsels away. I didn’t want to slow down but I also wanted the burrito to last forever. My Chipotle addiction can often be my biggest weakness. My mom has now learned to use it as a bribery tool in order for me to complete household chores that I would never want my friends to find out

After the government has recently introduced new lunch restrictions, many schools say they would be better off leaving the program entirely, instead of paying the millions on extra healthy food, just for it to be thrown away. Some people think that the new restrictions that have been made on lunches are a good thing, while other people think that it is wasteful and unnecessary. School lunches are a big part of a students day and are changing for better or worse all the time.

Eat it! Eat it! I dropped it in my mouth without a second thought, which probably wasn’t wise-but hey, I was ten-and then the war of spice and flavor began. “That wasn’t so bad I announced” But it turns out I spoke too soon, the burning sensation spreading like the plague in my mouth. The delicious burn of a really good spice or curry, that fiery goodness that makes you sweat and gives you a great tingling sensation, is for many people one of life’s greatest pleasures. Unfortunately, I am not one of those people. So imagine my surprise when its scaly skin grazes my tongue and the initial taste is sweet. Wow, that wasn’t so bad. I think to myself but it turns out i spoke to soon i start to realize as I take a big bite, the burst of juicy flavor
