Anyone can eat soul food on any particular day of the year. However, it is something distinctive about preparing and eating soul food on Thanksgiving Day. Soul food is considered to be fried chicken, macaroni and cheese, collard greens, breaded fried okra and yams. The preparation and consumption of soul food have been a staple in my family’s tradition for many generations. Perchance the food tastes better because of the cool crisp air, or maybe it’s the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade. I honestly don’t know why, but I feel like this should be a paten scientific theory. Everything just feels right on this day, as if the world halts for a split second and it is at harmony. Possibly that is why the food is cooked to perfection. Even the process of preparing the meal is practically better than eating the food.

In the article “Why McDonald’s Fries Taste So Good”, both artificial flavoring and natural flavoring are said to be man-made, with the only difference being that the natural flavoring must be made using chemicals derived from natural sources (Schlosser). By taking advantage of the connotations related to the phrase “natural”, consumers are lulled into thinking that they are choosing the healthier choice when, in fact, both types of flavoring are essentially the same chemicals pumped into processed foods to make them taste appealing. The idea that the category of natural flavors is healthier is how processed food companies divert our attention away from the fact that our food is stuffed with so many chemicals and food coloring products that we wouldn’t want to know what they would be like to consume without the

Today I am here to talk to you about how unhealthy school lunches are. School food is putting a toll on students’ health. The USDA stands for “United States Department of Agriculture“ and reported in 2009, that 94% of school lunches were not USDA approved.” (Wilkins, para 1). Every, two out of three students who eat lunch daily, become obese or overweight. Statistics show that most of these students have higher cholesterol levels than the students who bring their lunch. I first started eating school lunch after my first semester in high school. I used to pack my lunch because I had more time, and it was much better for my health. However, once I got to high school I had a lot of after school activities and homework. Therefore, I did not have a lot of time to pack my lunch. I noticed that I was always feeling stressed and exhausted. I have researched other opinions on how unhealthy school lunch is, and how bad it makes you feel. I wanted to talk to you about the unhealthy diet that the high school serves in the cafeteria because students’ are becoming obese. I know personally I do not want to become obese, and if the school keeps serving unhealthy foods, you will become obese. I hope that you will remember these harmful substances in school food, and choose to take the healthier pathway.( INSERT THESIS)

In the article “Why the Fries Taste Good” the author points out how the French fries, once made fresh and natural handmade ingredients, now contain “natural flavor” that are actually made of chemicals and artificial ingredients, which severely affect our health. Schlosser argues that companies like IFF are artificially creating aromas of every kind to make our food taste and smell good, with the exclusive purpose to increase the producers’ profit. This article warns the consumers about all the chemicals contained in processed foods, which are labeled as natural flavored with the sole intent to mislead them. Indeed, the market of processed food does not take in consideration one’s health by focusing on creating addiction on hordes of unsuspecting

People used to appreciate wholesome, nutritious food. These days, the American diet is comprised of primarily processed food. Is health being sacrificed for convenience? What is really in the food that Americans eat? Are all the preservatives and additives hurting consumers more than they are helping? There are definitely benefits to the modern food industry; however, consumers want to be sure that these benefits outweigh the risks associated with this new food technology. Food manufacturers seem to be doing well short term, but consumers do not want to suffer in the long run from all these unnatural additives and processes. These additional chemicals in food may be causing diseases without us realizing it. People spend so much time investigating which TV, car or even house to buy. Certainly, they should spend as much time if not more considering what to fill their shopping carts with at the grocery store. Even though additives help increase food production and food preservation, people should be careful about what they eat and try to avoid unnecessary additives because they are unnatural, unhealthy and compromise the wholesomeness of the food.
