Art is a way to express yourself, whether it 's through feelings or trying to say something without saying anything. That’s why the saying go 's “A picture is worth a thousand words” but I like to think so can food. I love and prefer my mother 's cooking more than anybody in the world. If food was a canvas, my mom would be Picasso or Van Gogh. I would say there 's probably hundreds of food choices that can either express our identity or aspects or even both.

In Dan Neil’s article “Company Town: Seduced by a Juicy Burger” published in the LA Times, he criticizes the fast food advertising industry in a sarcastic manner while wondering if the industry has gone too far. The article, written in 2009, is almost laughably outdated compared to today’s carnal advertisements. Today it seems unfeasible for companies not to objectify women in their commercials.

Obituary of the Good Ole Days Imagine a little league baseball coach- a middle-aged man with graying hair and the faint odor of barbecue sauce lingering on his cargo shorts. He towers over his team of scrappy second graders and looks down with disapproval. Instead of encouraging the children to play to their strengths and enjoy the game, he tirelessly ridicules the young players for having more advanced bats and gloves than he did. Back in his day, he had to make do with a wooden bat and a…

Ruby’s Diner Once or twice a year I visit my mother. She lives in Colorado Springs, Colorado with my step-dad. One of my favorite things to do is to go eat at Ruby’s Diner with my mother, Amanda, and step-dad, Roma. After about 7 hours total at the airports and a two hour drive I am extremely hungry, but I am also very excited. For the first day, of my ten day visit, we’re going to one of my favorite restaurants, Ruby’s Diner. It is the heavens of freshly smoked meats. Everyday they cook and…
