In life, one needs three things: food, shelter, and clothing. I have found that it is hard enough to eat a well rounded, appetizing meals in day-to-day life. This difficulty is increased when I am often on the go and do not have time to make a healthy meal. It sometimes feels like it can boil down to fast food out or microwaving frozen dinners at home.

If you are not in a position to buy your groceries from a local farmer's market, do not fret; other food stores offer an array of products to choose. When you go shopping, you will need an assortment of vegetables, a protein of choice, stir fry sauce, and rice or noodles for a base. The base of your vegetables should be made of bell peppers and onions. The best peppers for a stir fry

A healthy, delicious, lunch is what many schools strive for, however many don’t follow suit in the best way possible. I am writing to you, Mr. Dawson, to address the fact that Ronald E. McNair High School fails to provide their students with wholesome meals. As you may know, the Lodi Unified School District has food services that “promotes and brings attention to our freshly prepared school meals made from California grown products” (School Nutrition And Fitness). To promote even “healthier” eating, McNair actively participates in the USDA case study, inviting mobile carts to bring lunch closer to the students (School Nutrition And Fitness). Even with additional efforts put forth, students still find the lunches unappetizing (due to low-grade food quality) and prefer to eat other alternatives.
With the increasing academic and extracurricular expectations placed on high-school students, we pack our schedules tightly with rigorous courses, extracurricular activities, and voluntary work. We believe that our future and success are dependent on the work we do as students, and we sacrifice our health towards that goal. Instead of feeding on the nutrition of healthy meals, we turn to fast-food that is convenient and with rising options minutes away from school. However, the rising rates of obesity in our youth urge active action to be taken to change this norm of our teens consuming fast-food. [As a fellow high-school student, I expose this problem and advocate to improve the eating habits of high-school students.]

I adore Gwyneth Paltrow. But much like my love of blue cheese and the Macarena, it's a devotion my friends don't necessarily understand. "Gwyneth Paltrow—isn't that the one who tells people to sustain themselves on algae and sprouts and to clean their vaginas with steam?" they often ask.
Imagine driving home late after a long day at work, too exhausted to cook. But McDonald's is open 24 hours, so you get a late night bite in. But is it healthy? The city council don’t think so and has voted to ban fast food in Aberdeen, Washington. That means instead of being lazy and getting a meal that's unhealthy you can take your time and make a meal that is healthier at home.

Luckily for you, there's about five McDonald's or other fast-food restaurants within minutes of your home. Unfortunately for you, while these fast-food places advertise the tastiness of their food, they tend to leave out the negatives of buying it.
