People in Houston were told to evacuate their homes and to leave everything behind, due to the hurricane, but they couldn’t leave everything so they compromised and only brought with them the things that were an absolute necessity. Not a lot of people are able to compromise so easily. For some people this is a hard subject to grasp. Food is a major thing to in society today that not many people can agree on. Food is such a huge part of our everyday lives, but when two people are asked what they want to eat it seems that no one can come to an agreement. Food, however, is, “something beautiful to be shared with people” (M.F.K. Fisher), not something to cause problems and arguments when a decision about the food can’t be made. More often than not it’s really hard to compromise, but when it’s for the greater good and taking in account people other than yourself, there’s a certain satisfaction earned. In order to be considered a “well-rounded person” in society, it is inevitable that one has the ability to compromise. I had to experience compromise first hand in the humid, swampy, hot, seafood loving, Louisiana. “Four regions of south Louisiana were settled by the Cajuns.” (Ducote). So it’s probably pretty safe to say that Louisiana houses some pretty good, traditional Cajun food. This experience has helped me to realize my place in our culture when in comes to being a cordial, agreeable person.

As a nation, Americans revel in the consumption of junk food. These extremely unhealthy foods are often present during many various occasions, such as sports events, movies, and parties. When a person craves a quick snack, junk food is the ideal solution. However, beyond the satisfying taste of foods such as Doritos and potato chips lies a very serious problem. These foods can lead to physical disrepair, sickness, and even death. Yet many Americans remain oblivious to this nationwide issue and allow it to remain unaddressed. The crisis of junk food in America needs to be resolved immediately. To go more in depth, it is imperative that the nation resolves this issue relatively soon, primarily because the excessive consumption of

Runners should eat mainly carbs because they are the main fuel, and is the first thing that is burned during a run. There are two types of carbs: simple carbs, which give you quick shots of energy, and complex carbs, which gives you a steady amount of energy for a long period of time. Fruit and candy are examples of simple carbs, and bread and grains are examples of complex carbs. If runners do not eat enough carbs, they will run out of energy when they run, and eventually hit the “wall,” a period in runner where the runner has no energy. Although everyone should have carbs, runners should have more carbs in their diet than non-runners because they need more energy. Protein is important because it rebuilds and repairs muscles. Good proteins

Healthy food should be accessible to everyone. If healthy food isn’t available for everyone all it’s going to do is cause more and more health problems. If we made healthy organic food the same price as cheap unhealthy food there would be a big difference in the health of our country. It’s completely unfair to make healthy food too expensive for other people to buy, which causes them to buy cheap unhealthy food, like off a dollar menu at a fast food restaurant. This issue needs to be put to an end.

If there is one thing Americans know a lot about its diets. Everything from Weight watchers to Atkins and everything in between has been promoted on televisions, in bestselling books and now advertised all over social media. Each one claiming to be the answer to weight loss, lifelong health and even making claims of reversing disease. Unfortunately even with this inundation, Americans are larger than ever. It’s confusing. Who is right, who is wrong? What can be believed? What can the average person actually attain and stick to? The government even has a say in what people should be eating. The food pyramid and more recently MyPlate have been attempts to steer people towards health. Unfortunately, they have been steering people in the wrong direction. A low fat high carbohydrate diet has been promoted extensively for many years, but it has left Americans fatter than ever So what is the answer? It surprises some and frustrates others, but a high fat, moderate protein and low carbohydrate diet is the way to go. This way of eating is commonly referred to as the ketogenic diet or keto. The ketogenic way of eating is the best diet because it promotes safe, healthy weight management including appetite control, reduces inflammation and high blood sugars, and supports brain health.

When something is detrimental to our health, we strive to avoid it whenever possible to extend our lives. We know that exposure to known cancer causing agents such as asbestos and lead paint is harmful; therefore, we do not expose ourselves to the risk and we certainly do not eat it. This seems simple; however, what do we do when that harmful vice is food? We cannot stop eating; instead, we must closely examine what we are putting into our bodies. When faced with the choice of a burger or grilled vegetables, most would choose the burger. These choices have lead us down a path littered with food related diseases, illnesses and rising healthcare costs. The state of Americans health is declining due to increasing obesity, diabetes and

Following the French restaurant scene, a women’s etiquette class on how to eat spaghetti appropriately takes place in an Italian restaurant. The teacher speaks to the class that they should only catch three or four strings of spaghetti and eat them silently. However, after a westerner eats spaghetti casually and makes a loud noise, the entire etiquette class, including the teacher, begins to shovel the food into their mouths. At this point, the pleasure of eating food has taken place of the eating tradition of classiness and elegance.

Have you ever seen “Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate” (Figure. 2) growing out of the ground? Today's society offers new options for meals every day. From fondue to fast food, there are new options everywhere you go. To clear up any curiosity, sodium stearoyl lactylate is a chemical added to Twinkies to make its processed ingredients more tolerable to the human body. Companies like Hostess and Kellogg’s are scientifically manipulating the human body, tricking them into being able to digest their chemical makeup of the ingredients. The true challenge when finding a place to eat is not only considering its availability, but also deciding which choice is most health conscious. Processed foods may taste good going down, but they actually contain many unnatural ingredients, if that is even their appropriate name, that can lead to obesity and health problems throughout one’s life. Many of these processed foods are, unfortunately, the most readily available. The debate of processed versus organic foods is a common conflict in society today. Whether it is due to lack of income, or pure laziness, people choose every day to put toxic, unnatural foods in their body. Some foods that appear to be healthy may not be; the real trick to healthy food is being as earth-centered as possible. Organic means coming from living matter--food in its purest form. Living an organic lifestyle is, most importantly, a better decision regarding the health and wellbeing of the

Every year the average American’s health declines. This is a major problem for the sake of the future of our country and future generations. Due to the great range and ease of purchasing inexpensive and delicious fast and junk foods, the health of Americans declines and issues of obesity and many other poor health related-diseases to our health such as diabetes rises. Analyzing data from a survey conducted at Rosemead High School along with the following articles “Bad Food? Tax it, and Subsidize Vegetables” by Mark Bittman, “Attacking the Obesity Epidemic by First Figuring Out Its Cause” by Jane E. Brody, “No Lunch Left Behind” by Alice Waters & Katrina Heron, and “The Pleasures of Eating” by Wendell Berry. All four articles make it clear that as a country, we must put a great effort to spread awareness about the dangers of what fast and junk foods do to our health. Although not every American’s health is at stake, the majority are at risk, so I believe it should be a priority for all Americans to eat healthier; therefore, our government, school administration, teachers, parents, and children should improve their eating habits by avoiding fast and junk foods.

In the food industry today, junk food is fast, easy, and cheap to get, while healthy foods are more expensive and not nearly everyone has the ability to afford it. Americans are becoming obese and not enough people put enough effort into changing this for the future. It would be easy to just blame the fact that there is a McDonald’s around every corner, but it truly comes down to each individual buyer who doesn’t know how to make a stop in this. A lot of people cannot support their families with a healthy dinner so instead they feed them with the dollar menu that is much cheaper and faster. Robert Kenner created a film in 2008 called Food, Inc. about the faults and dilemmas within the the food industry. It covers many outlooks on the meat produce, like the chicken houses, the beef and pork companies, along with the independent family owned businesses. They investigate all types of methods, the problems they have caused within the past few decades, and attempt to find solutions in order to improve this way of the system and the impacts each buyer’s role is in this situation.

When people hear these three words, many people would probably become disgusted or full of judgements. Shame whoever these words are describing, because they are seen as people who can't appreciate the inner beauty. Simple three-lettered word, F-A-T, can make people’s smile turn upside down. Or the sound of tattoos with the two Ts forms empty fears of realistic tiger on people’s arms? And those two words, plastic surgery automatically display to the mind- round silicons and black marks outlining the ideal face. Recalling one time, I mention to other people I need to go on a diet. And due to my unhealthy health record, many people discouraged me and told me not to go on a diet. It became quite annoying to explain the definition. People
