I have always been around older adults. Growing up in Mexico, my grandparents were a huge part in my life. Surprisingly, when it came time for this assignment I realized how I no longer have close proximity to an older adult. Denny Bean, 82, was a complete stranger to me four months ago.

you are escaping your daily life. Would you truly want to escape your life into a murderous cult? Okay, some of the demented, twisted people of this world would. The Devil's Rejects shows the audience that anyone can be a murderer, even the sweetest most innocent looking as with the character Baby.

Pollan states that high-fructose corn syrup “is the most valuable food product refined from corn, accounting for 530 million bushels every year” (89). Once these different food processes were discovered, processed foods began making their way into the country. At first, the point of having processed…
