Speeding down the road, my friends and I were headed to Maquoketa for our college class. After a long, hard volleyball practice, our bellies were screaming out in hunger. “We need to stop and get something to eat!” I said, “Yeah seriously. We’re going to have to make it snappy though! We only have ten minutes before class starts.” says Whitney. She quickly swerves into the left lane and turns into McDonald’s. She heads towards the drive-thru and we give our order. I order a 10 piece McNugget. Fast food is not an exaggeration. Our food is in our hands like magic. I peek into my bag, and I am appalled to see that they only gave me one packet of ketchup. One packet for all ten nuggets! I dip my nuggets in the ketchup, and when the ketchup was gone, I …show more content…
You soon regret the decision of skipping breakfast. Your mind is filled with donuts, pizza, nachos, and mashed potatoes. After what seems like a century, the lunch bell finally rings. The lunch-ladies today are serving a hamburger, curly fries, cookie, and pineapples. You decide the only way to get your talking belly to shut up is to get doubles. Your tray fills up quickly, but is devoured even faster. You ignore the looks of disgust from your friends because your stomach was happy and so were you. History rolls around and you find yourself getting sleepy. Why are you so tired? You slept and extra hour! Mr. Boring’s voice slowly fades away as you fall into blissful sleep. Diiing! “Next class we will be having a quiz over what we went over today, so I hope you were paying attention!” Mr. Boring says sternly. Could this day get any worse? According to Healthline.com, it actually is a fact that certain foods can make you tired. They suggest to keep a balanced diet and avoid sugary foods like cake.

Schlosser and Wilson discuss obesity, mentioning a 16 year old, 300-pound boy named Sam, who drank about two quarts of soda a day. The authors also mention the facts behind obesity and why it is hard to lose weight, stating that once an overweight person gains fat cells, the body is more vulnerable to illnesses. A tour of the inside of a normal body compared to an obese body is also illustrated in the book. The authors discuss how this increase in obesity is partly caused by a large increase in portion size served by restaurants. Despite very unhealthy foods, fast food companies argue that being overweight is the customer’s own

It was a normal ordinary day, or at least I thought it was. Didn’t have my homework, played my phone, talked to friends, it was all good. It was around 9 or 10 o'clock. Everyone was getting their snack out of their backpack, and of course I did too, I was flipping hungry! I brought in some tangerines, man did I love those. The teacher put on a little video while we ate. I decided not
It all started on crisp morning, the day my parents told us that we were getting a dog. We asked “What kind of dog we were getting?” They said “The dog was going to be a Golden Retriever”. Everyone was excited about the dog. Then we all had to “puppy proof” our house just in case she would get into anything. We had to make sure that we had all the necessities for the dog.
Some fast food restaurants have sixty-seven grams of fat in just one meal; you start with the burgers, which have fat as they are, then cheese is put on, adding still more fat. Then you get double burgers and double cheeseburgers along with sauces, which are sometimes made of fat-one-sixth the maximum recommended daily intake. According to the National Institute of Health (NIH) and other agencies, Americans should eat 25 percent less fat per day, that would mean a decrease to about 67 grams. (33)

Eat early, and keep it light. According to a news release on a sleep study conducted by researchers from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, “eating less during late night hours may stave off some effects of sleep deprivation.”
Two of our fellow seniors, Curtis Robinson and Sumayyah Singletary, have taken the initiative to plan an unofficial class trip. The following is a message from them:
Have you served in a war? Has your father or mother served in a war? How about your grandpa? As we honor those who have served we typically do so by standing for the pledge of allegiance or star spangled banner. We say thank you to our war heroes or we go and visit them and listen to their stories. In this paper I will be discussing why NFL players should not be allowed to kneel for the flag. Although the NFL players have the right to peacefully protest, they should find a different way than kneeling as it shows disrespect towards the flag also active duty military and veterans, it teaches young children this behavior is okay, what they are protesting has nothing to do with the flag and there are many different ways to get their message out.
Sunday’s are meant to be spent at home slumped in bed watching either your favorite series or a newly discovered movie from Netflix. Whatever the case, it’s completely inevitable not to munch out while doing so. Whether it be some leftovers, delivery food or even a fast run to the store. Without thought, fast food is the go to. Most will argue that obesity is a disease, as of 2001 the nation’s surgeon general referred to obesity as an epidemic. (CQR: Preventing Obesity, Mantel), but it’s evident to see that obesity is based on a lifestyle, in the end it is us who decide what we consume and how active we are.
I just want to thank you for what you have accomplished for the California School District these past years. I do have one concern though, and I am sure you have looked into it before, but I would like you to reconsider the situation. In past years, many students have wondered why we do not have a soccer team. Having a soccer team would open up so many different paths in the high school for students, staff, and even the community.
I am sure that everyone of you have heard about aliens and UFOs. Indeed, we all have heard about the famous case of aliens and UFOs in Roswell, New Mexico. Most people might be interested in the topic of aliens, but I know that the majority of you just think of it as rumours and the existence of them are impossible. Therefore, I am standing here in front all of you to make you change your perspective. I am strongly confident that I have found the evidence of their real existence to convince all of you.
It was October 6, 1998 when he was lured from the bar that cold, fateful night. His skull was smashed with a pistol butt as he was lashed to a fence, left for dead in near freezing temperatures. Nearly eighteen hours later he was found by passersby and taken to a hospital where we remained in a coma for several days until slowly slipping away. At his funeral, picketers carried signs saying, "God Hates Fags" and *Fags Deserve to Die."
For example, using a leftover coffee can for loose nails or screws, or even washing and reusing a plastic zip-loc bag instead of throwing it in the garbage. Thrift shopping is a way of reusing someone else’s unwanted goods. As I spoke about in an earlier speech about thrifting, I included many locations and ways to thrift, also the benefits to the shopper and the donator. One place in particular was shopping at the local boys and girls club. I personally shop there, keeping my eyes open for a good deal. For example, the pair of jeans that I am wearing today was purchased from this store just a few months ago. I paid only $8.00 for this pair of Lucky Jeans and according to buckle.com, a retailer for lucky jeans the retail price is $99.00 that is a savings to me of $91.00.I am not the type to worry about name brands, but quality usually does cost more. If I can get a quality pair of jeans at a fraction on the price, I am glad to shop at the thrift store. I am thankful to the person that made the donation of the lucky jeans and they can benefit from that donation. According to the IRS webpage, IRS. Gov it explains that an individual can donate items like clothing, household furniture and furnishings, a car or boat, even taxidermy. The donations are appraised, by the donator, and recorded. At the time of filing taxes if the donation equals at least $500 for the year, the donator may take advantage of the
