Anyway, I’m getting hungry, let’s grab something to eat,” Charonda suggested. “There is a place next door we can get something quick. Let’s have a light lunch so that we can pig out at Duane’s party tonight. I just love the Caribbean food he serves!” Elizabeth replied. “I’ll order. What do you want?” Charonda asked. “I love cheeseburgers! I gotta watch my weight and my cholesterol level now. Looks like the pounds came on over winter. What are you having? I’ll follow your example, skinny girl,” Elizabeth observed. “Two slices of cheese pizza, a large garden salad, and an iced tea,” Charonda replied. “A diet ice tea, I bet,” remarked Elizabeth. “Nah, artificial sweeteners taste awful,” Charonda replied. “Yeah, nothing like the real stuff. I’ll have the same, but I like spicy. Two slices of pepperoni pizza, a taco salad, and a grape soda for me. I love ranch dressing, but don’t bring any for me … too many calories,” Elizabeth requested. As they sat down to eat, Elizabeth looked around at the other diners and observed. “Crowded huh; salads seem to be popular today.” “Yeah, that time of the year. Doesn’t hurt to lose the few pounds gained over winter—swimsuit season coming up,” Charonda opined. “Looks like I have to do that too. You know, I tried several times to lose weight but it is so hard,” confessed Elizabeth. “Yeah, I know it’s tough,” agreed Charonda. “Look at that lady with the two kids in the corner table. Her plate is loaded with fried chicken and fries and

In “Don’t Blame the Eater”, the writer, David Zinczenko, initially argues that those teens who are fat because of eating fast food from restaurants like McDonalds, should take responsibility for their obesity. He then sympathizes with the obese children by giving his own childhood example. His mother and father were usually away working and he had no other choice but to rely on fast food restaurants. He argues about the growing number of fast food chains, how FDA doesn’t take notice of the ingredients that are not mentioned on food packaging and how it is the responsibility of the parents to make sure that their children are eating right. He also argues that the money fast food chains like McDonalds are spending on advertising and targeting

Healthy, unhealthy, good food, bad food, fat, skinny, diet, weight: all these words have been used to define what society views as the key to a balanced or unbalanced life. In the essay, Food for Thought: Resisting the Moralization of Eating, Mary Maxfield takes a look into the stigma of eating habits, health, and dieting in western society. Maxfield supports her claims by analyzing and refuting Michael Pollan’s essay, Escape from the Western Diet. Although it is common knowledge that many people struggle to understand what is essentially “healthy” and “unhealthy”, there are many experts in the field of nutrition that claim to have the key to a perfect diet. Maxfield ultimately disclaims these ideas by bringing to light information that

In David Sedaris’ “Tasteless,” he stresses how the meaning of delicious food throughout his life has always been important to him. Growing up he ate substantial amounts of food without caring what it was. As he got older, smoking took a toll on his taste buds. He didn’t appreciate the subtle differences between fine meals and bland meals due to his lack of taste. David had learned how something with so much value to him, such as food, could considerably lose value.

1.Why do you think Poe has set his story at night time, in the night?

All throughout Edgar Allen Poe’s “The Tell-Tale Heart” the reader follows along as the narrator explains the eight days where he plotted against the old man. During this explanation, the readers forms an opinion on if the narrator is a calculated killer or mentally insane. It is understandable why some people might think that the narrator is a calculated killer because of the planning that the narrator mentions. However, there are more scenes where the narrator can be interpreted as being mentally insane. Therefore, the narrator is better described as mentally insane because he can “hear” the heartbeat of the old man and he acted upon impulse when he killed the old man.

For Michael Ruhlman, author of Egg: A Culinary Exploration of the World’s Most Versatile Ingredient, food is obviously important so writing about something so vital should need no justification (Huffington Post, 2012). After all, Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs puts foods in its most basic category of necessity. We all need to eat right? So important and popular is food writing that it can be found on best-seller lists, Twitter feeds, academic catalogues, newspapers and photo-drenched magazines (Alimentum, 2011).

In Don’t Blame the Eater, David Zinczenko composes his opinion on the fast food industry’s absence of nutritional information and more. Zinczenko starts his piece by giving his own life experience. He recalls his childhood trying to find food and that fast food was “the only available options for an American kid to get an affordable meal” (Zinczenko 462). By giving his own life experience, Zinczenko relates to the reader and grabs their attention.

David Zinczenko’s, Don’t Blame the Eater, speaks on the issue of children consuming too much “bad food” that is causing them to be overweight and other health problems. The student’s summary on page 32 argues: “David Zinczenko’s article, “Don’t Blame the Eater,” is nothing more than an angry rant in which he accuses the fast-food companies of an evil conspiracy to make people fat. I disagree because these companies have to make money… (32)”. In this summary the writer was very vague and bland when explaining to the reader what Zinczenko’s essay. She did not give any details or quotes from the passage to elaborate her opinion. From reading her summary the reader would only get an understanding of his or her feelings towards the subject instead of the actual author’s feeling.

Heartbreak can be defined as: overwhelming distress. When a person is heartbroken the deep emotions and stress they feel takes over their life to a point where, sometimes, you can’t function doing anything besides thinking of your own heartbreak. In the poem “Head, Heart,” written by Lydia Davis, it displays a very person conversation between the head and the heart during an emotional time. This poem is very universal, and very personal to almost all people. It is very unlikely that someone would read this poem and not relate to the emotions it conveys. This poem uses personification and menotomy for “head” and “heart” as if they are people. This poem means to show its readers what it’s like on the inside to be heartbroken by something.

‘Pop!’ I opened my lunch box to reveal a lovely, fluffy looking cake. Saliva started to slowly make its way out of my mouth when the sweet smell of chocolate assailed my sense. I couldn’t wait to devour it. All that was left was to sprinkle the icing sugar on now. Eating had become my new addiction after I had got away from drugs. Looking up from my cake I could see my friend running towards me.
