Factual Analysis Meal

The purpose of this assignment is to track and display the food choices we make and the way we eat affects our lifestyle and health. This paper addresses my personal food intake for the past three days. Next I will compare my food choices with my WileyPlus profile and determine whether I am maintaining healthy eating habits. There are foods that a person can eat in order to make sure that the daily required intake is being made. Sometimes it is really hard for a person like me to make sure I eat all the foods that I am supposed to so that I can consume all the nutrients that my body needs in a day. I know I will need to modify my eating

It was a hot, summer day. Although it was only morning, we could feel the sun beating down on us. The lines weren't too long; after about twenty minutes, we were finally inside the park. First thing I noticed was the delicious smell of food. I hadn't had breakfast and definatley wanted some food. We went to go eat at an indoor restaurant where I chose a chicken burger. Laughter was filling the air as we ate, making us all the more excited to get on some rides. After eating, we decided to walk around to let our food go down and see what rides we wanted to get on.

Cathleen hopped off my bed, where she was reading the comics pages of a newspaper from my stash, while I begun to stand up, feeling stiff and numb from sitting on the floor for so long. We rushed out of our room and down the (admittedly very short) hallway to the kitchen table. I hoped lunch was something warm; maybe soup or chicken with rice. Rather, it was ham and cheese sandwiches with chopped carrots and ice water.

On a Friday evening, I expected the restaurant to be really crowded and we would have to wait for a table. Surprisingly, there wasn’t a wait and we got a table right away. Almost right as we sat down there was a waiter with our chips with salsa and to take our drink orders. The

I opened the fridge and found the leftovers of my burrito that I didn’t finish last night. I finished that up and got ready. After an hour I got ready in my basketball clothes and went with my mom to play the game, even though my stomach was not agreeing with my choice of plans.

It was a typical Wednesday morning. I was getting ready for school and I was going to be wearing my very authentic shoes that I bought from Nordstrom. Today was going to be an amazing day because my family said we could go hiking after school. So I got ready and head downstairs to eat my breakfast. Today I had pancakes with some strawberries on the side. I ate my breakfast with delicacy because I just got my braces but I was so hungry, I basically devoured all my food. Then the time 7:45 am beeped on my watch which meant it was time for me to head to school. I picked up my backpack and catched the bus.

Next, we were told to mingle around and make the guests feel comfortable. In Finch Fieldhouse was hundreds of people who were here to receive the food we provided, and each of them had their own story to tell. I spent about a half an hour talking and getting to know some of them while we waited for the food truck to arrive. When it arrived I helped unload some of the boxes of food, which were surprisingly varied. I expected to see loads and loads of non-perishable foods, but instead I unloaded potatoes, apples, cakes and squash. I prepared bags to hand out, and arranged them on the tables. The people of the community began to line up, and I volunteered at the dessert table. Every person who went by was given one or two desserts like cookies, donuts, pie or cake. I could see the happiness on their faces as I handed out treats and laughed with them. The most memorable moment was when a young girl and her father came through the line. They had been waiting in line almost the whole time, and the dessert stand was the last table. When they walked by, I asked the young girl what kind of dessert she wanted, and she looked at her father as if to ask permission. He told her to pick one out, and she quietly asked for a cake. I spent some time searching for the perfect cake, one that had chocolate frosting. When I handed it to her, her face lit up like the sun. I had

I felt a little emotional at the moment, but I kept my promise, and I made breakfast. While the radio blasted Johnny Gill’s Rub You the Right Way, my mood improved. As I measured the oil, flour, and sugar, Trudy mixed the ingredients together and poured them into baking pans. We were going to have apple muffins, banana pancakes, and cinnamon buns. I made sure that I left enough batter for tomorrow morning's breakfast because I wanted to take Levi a few muffins. The kitchen smelled like a bakery, and I was sure that the boys would appear out of the basement

I had needed to groceries and decided to finally take her up on what she was saying was so amazing about this store. I needed to see for myself and have my own opinion about it. Before, I went inside the store I had to contemplate with myself that I was not going to pick up any items that were of those meets mentioned before. I took a deep breath and then resumed my chance to formalize my own opinion. The store was amazing as she had said which was great, but what was not great was that the prices of the meats that I was supposed to be abstaining from were lower than any store that I had shopped at. I was literally in heaven and had wanted to just grab everything and put it in my basket without any thought.

During the date, the restaurant that we all wanted to go to was full; instead we all decided to buy milk tea and bread from a bakery. It was my treat. Then Kevin suggested that we walk around Main Street, so we did. At 9:30 pm Judy and I decided to go home because our house was 30 minutes away from the school.

After eating I asked my grandma if we could go outside for a little while, not

For breakfast there were eggs, bacon, sausage waffles and so many more delicious options. My personal favorite was the cinnamon sticks dipped in warm maple syrup,  although there wasn’t much time to eat them, I savored every bite. As my day went, on because of all the training going on, I had no idea when we would finish or how much time we had left. Until I heard “chow time”, words that made me smile because not only do we get a break, but I knew that we only had half of the day left. For lunch the dining hall served hot wings with white rice along with your choice of sides at the salad bar. The thing that made lunch extra special was the fact that we could have cookies. It may not seem like much now, but at that time it was the only real sweets most of us had in weeks. Although I tried not to show it, inside I was grinning from ear to ear. Then finally, there was dinner. Dinner meant that the day was finished. There was no more training or exercising and I would be able to go to bed soon. For dinner, pizza. That alone was the perfect satisfaction for me after an extremely long day and it was enough to hold me over until

Whether it was in the morning or late at nights. I drank soda constantly not really knowing what it can do to you. Drinking soda was one of the first things I drop from my diet losing ten pounds within 3 weeks of not drinking soda. During lunch my family tended to utilize a lot of oil presuming the food will taste more scrumptious. Before placing the tortillas on the pan we would always oil up slightly, so the tortilla wouldn't stick onto the pan, well that's what my mom told me as a kid. Later finding out it just made it more crispy rather than a plain heated tortilla. When it came down to eating, my family ate delicious food, but wasn't necessarily to healthy. Facing the consequences of not eating fast food was difficult because I was trying to steer away from all fast food restaurants possible such as Mcdonalds, Burger King, Dell Taco and my ex-favorite of them all on the Mcdonald menu on being the spicy

Since fast food first emerged in the United States it has become a large and successful industry, netting billions of dollars every year. This rapid expansion of fast food has put a fast food establishment within reach of almost every American. In Adam Chandler’s “What if Consumers Just Want to Buy Junk Food” he claims that although a majority of Americans believe they eat healthier today than in the 1970’s, but in fact studies show the very opposite. Chandler associates this to the consumers preference of unhealthy foods, but there is strong evidence that this rise in unhealthy consumption in American society can be attributed to the marketing and business tactics of fast food corporations, the availability and ease of access to fast food, and their socioeconomic status.

Then, something happened. It was near the end of my 11-hour shift on a Sunday. It was quite busy as it was a hot summer night. The line was almost to the outside of the door while there was only two of us working. A man and his son walked in. They stood there and stared at the menu for a while.
