In Arthur's paper “Famine Relief and the Ideal Moral Code” he examines Singer’s paper on moral principles, in which Singer states that all humans are on the same level of need. Thus supporting one without the resources to obtain food is always more important than buying yourself luxuries. Arthur’s rebuttal to Singer’s statement comes in the form of what Arthur calls “Just Desserts”. Arthur defines “Just Desserts” as “the idea that sometimes people deserve to keep what they have acquired” (Arthur 500). This paper will analyze Arthur's argument for just deserts, and ultimately argue that it is a viable and important variable in creating a moral code.…
Masa of Echo Park is a family run pizzeria that was established by Rob Rowe and Rhonda Reynolds in 2004. They created a menu with the idea of reflecting the diversity of the community in Echo Park, and they have certainly succeeded in putting together a varied menu of what they describe as “comfort style bistro food”. This quirky, local restaurant is famous for their Chicago style deep-dish and thin crust pizzas, pastas, fresh salads, as well as their bread puddings. Without a doubt, the atmosphere at Masa definitely reflects the vibe of the area. This is most notable in their quirky decoration with colorful plastic table clothes, wooden chairs and fireplace.…
Big questions always seem to surround food. The debate may start with simply asking how can we eat healthily, but eventually, the questions drift and somehow, we are left wondering, how can we feed the world. Working together, in a way that almost tag-teams, authors Wendell Berry and Michael Pollan establish that healthy eating surrounds the consumption of plants with the intent of being an active participant in the agriculture behind the foods we eat. Although Louise Fresco doesn’t reject their claim, she argues that fruits and vegetables are not going to end world hunger. Accordingly, she offers her own solution to this big picture question but ultimately agrees with the base of the others’ claim.…
This essay will describe how Sarah Wu’s book, Fed up with Lunch, discusses the horrendous problem outcomes found inside of a lunch system in a large Elementary School in Chicago that may include the true time that is given to eat the lunch, the unexpected nutrition found inside of every dish given, as well as the truth of keeping all the nutritional facts away from the public. Looking at the statuses of each school around the nation, it can clearly be stated that each school is different, however looking towards the fact that some schools lie on the same district, county, or even city can state the point that those schools have a significantly common method of running their institutions, and this one school could be the most significantly different…

Cody: Cody Tull, the oldest sibling of the Tull family, took it the hardest when coming into terms with his father 's departure. Being that he is headstrong, a trait that displays itself in everything he does, Cody found it difficult to let go of the past.

On Thanksgiving I observed many instances of food safety and demonstrated food safety while preparing the food. Despite this, I did observe cases where food safety was lacking which I would not have been able to identify before our discussion in class about it. First of all, the foods that we made were turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes, green beans, turnips, and macaroni. The food was prepared in a manner that was hygienic because everyone washed their hands before preparing the food.…
Every individual needs some vitamins, minerals and water in the body. These minerals and vitamins are essential for the body. Based on the nutrition analysis project part 1, I realized I was lacking in some essential and nonessential minerals and vitamins which I need to work on how to improve the intake or how to minimize the amount I take. I used three days in collecting my diet analysis though I could have added another day. The three days I used in collecting, the data was not consecutive since I do not exercise every day.…

We are each gone all day to either work or school, so once we’re all home we eat supper together and spend a couple of hours just relaxing and watching television or something. Family dinner has never been the kind of thing where children eat in their room and ignore the parents. My mom and dad have always insisted that we all eat together with the television off. After dinner, my mom and I clear the table and then we just spend time together. This is a ritual that I am grateful for.…
