Soyez Polis
BE POLISHED
Jacques Prévert
It must be very polite with the land
And with the sun
We must thank the morning waking up
We must thank them for the heat
For trees
For fruit
For all that is good to eat
For all that is beautiful to look at
A touch
We must thank
Do not bother ...
Criticize
They know what they have to do
The sun and the earth
Then we must let them
Or they can get angry
And then after
We changed
In squash
In Watermelon
Or flint
And is well advanced ...
The sun is in love with the land
It looks
It is their business
And when there are eclipses
It is not prudent or discreet look
Through dirty pieces of smoked glass
They argue

She did not reason in terms of food, but filling: padding on his fridge food shelf under cellophane and ready meals.

    Fast Food In The 1950s

    In the 1950s, foods took a change for the better… or worse. Things that Americans now take for granted were rare novelties back then. A simple pouch of McDonald’s french fries, a Whopper from Burger King, or microwavable Swanson TV Dinner trays easily changed the “cult of domesticity” in many 1950-modern homes. Before this time, women were expected to spend hours in the kitchen preparing meals for their families. This new way of food preparation changed the amount of money spent on food, the quality of food, and the amount of time and effort spent making food.…

    Food, Inc., a documentary by Robert Kenner, informs the American people in the food industry’s malevolent side. It uses compelling images, such as chickens being brought up in small spaces, and incorporates stories of farmers, government officials and victims of the food industry. Food, Inc. exposes the food industry and the audience realizes wealth has become more of a priority than safety. But, the end of the film invokes a sense of hope when the show reveals how the audience can make a difference. Food Inc. uses rhetorical strategies to build a warning to consumers about the somber side within the food industry.…

    Schools are very good at buying whole foods in boxes, bags, and cans. But they are not so good at making things from scratch. “The majority of school kitchens in New York and elsewhere don't cook from scratch; they reheat prepared foods. “When I came every piece of chicken and fish was breaded, or fried, or has some coating on it,” he says. ”(Spake, 4).…

This essay gives detailed examples about who is behind the misleading foods, why America chooses to live like this, and how other countries are staying out of the disastrous ways of American food culture.

    I believe, that I ready to enter English 1101, I have numerous reasons for believing this. I will describe my reasons in a brief analysis, in this essay.

    It is no secret that America is in an obesity epidemic. The majority of public schools are only making this problem worse. The school lunches that are provided to students are unhealthy, lacking in taste and quality, and are extremely underwhelming. This isn’t only a problem with lunches, the food in the vending machines is also very unhealthy. The lunches also do not cater in the slightest to children with food allergies or restrictions such as vegetarian or vegan.…

    Argument Paper II The quality of school lunches has been a debated topic throughout this past decade. While some are advocating for healthier lunch options for students, others would prefer that lunch options stay fairly the same to offer a more diverse selection of foods. The opinion article “Healthy School Lunches Under Attack: Our View” written in 2015 by USA Today is a prime example of those in favor of healthier school lunches, and on the opposing side, “Provide Flexibility in the Lunchroom: Opposing View” written by the president of the School Nutrition Association Jean Ronnei in 2015, is an article discussing the possibility of school lunch mandates going too far. The articles provide interesting points on both sides of the argument, however, after reading both articles…

    Throughout the entirety of this English 101 course, I have seen my skills as a writer grow. In the beginning of the school year, my writing fell short of my expectations, but as I continued to work and learn the principles of writing, I have written papers that I am proud to say are mine. Among the aspects of my writing I have improved, the best strives are seen within my my counter arguments and overall strength and coherency of my papers. To begin, when looking at a paper I wrote in August on necessity of first drafts, there were large gaps in my elaboration, bringing concerns as to whether I was arguing and proving a point or merely summarizing what Lamott, the author of the article, originally said. When attempting to argue my evidence, I stated,…

    The term “school lunch,” has had a negative connotation ever since I can remember. There’s much more to school lunch than gourmet salads or mystery meat. All over the United States schools serve lunch to a variety of different students, with different backgrounds, age groups and income. Just in one school the systematic arrangement of the lunch ladies and the policies set in place are just tiny specs of a much larger picture. The fact of the matter is, as children are developing they are being programmed and prepped for the rest of their lives.…

    Certain kids have different experiences with their school’s lunches, but it’s safe to assume that the majority of children do not enjoy them one bit. At a school in LA, one child says “The healthier it gets the more disgusting it is” which is just another reason why healthy school lunches are not a good idea. Some children at the school can barely describe what “it” is. Kids want to eat what tastes good, not what tastes like garbage, no matter how good it is for them. It’s not just the taste though; it’s the serving size as well.…
