Cheeseburger

are thin also feel the effects of body shaming. Telling girls that “guys love a woman with curves” so that they feel inferior to thicker women is just as bad as telling a woman that she is fat. Just like telling someone that they need to eat a cheeseburger because they are too skinny is not a compliment. Both fat and skinny people are becoming too critical of themselves because of comments made by others. People of all sizes spend too much time examining their bodies in their mirrors, picking at…

Keishera Aldonza Culture Partners: The Interview with the Albanian I first met Enea almost by accident. It was the night of the first fire alarm at Roberts Hall. The steam pipes had burst and the basement became overwhelmed with steam, forcing Enea upstairs and into my common area. He was alone and I felt particularly sociable that night. He introduced himself as Alec, which I learned later was his “Americanized” name, and I introduced myself and my friends. Our friendship stuck and he even…

food and how it was made. Overtime someone bites into a hamburger, one is eating hundreds of cow meat grinding up, mixed with some preservatives, and all nicely topped off with chemicals to kill of the Escherichia coli, but to most it is just a cheeseburger. In John Layman’s “Chew," the lead character, Tony Chu, has the power to see everything that has been put into his food and everything one and thing that has touched it. Could one imagine having Tony’s power; does one think that after knowing…

In 2004, Chef Claus Meyer, and Chef Rene Redzepi opened a Danish restaurant named NOMA, in Copenhagen. The name NOMA is a contraction of the Danish words for “Nordic” and “Food”. NOMA is currently the most important restaurant in the world. Together Chef Rene Redzepi and Chef Claus Meyer popularized, and invented the idea of Nordic cuisine. They populated their menu with items such as wild berries, musk ox, and sauces made with beer rather than wine. NOMA’s success has empowered other…

“Safe and Sound,” or “Bought and Sold”: How Media is affecting the Perceptions of Sex Trafficking in America “Sex trafficking has become the fastest growing criminal enterprise in the world.” Regardless of how dehumanizing, exploitative, and tortuous buying and selling human beings for the purpose of sex is, “Modern-day slavery is actually getting worst.” The Polaris Project is an organization that battles this problem day in and day out.

me, when Octavia and I were at the local diner. But she would never tell me, I was not surprised, me and her were barely on speaking terms with each other. I came up with a desprite attempt to make things right and said to her “ If I buy you a cheeseburger, will you forgive me Octavia ?“ She turned to me and said after a sigh “ I will forgive you Jack... If you take me on every mission you ever go on. But that is not all, every time we go to a diner, you pay for mine and your food, deal…

“Ag-gag” laws, legislation such as the “Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act” make it so people can be criminalised for interfering with any of animal related industry or photographing abuses committed by these TNC’s. Additionally, legislation known as “cheeseburger laws” prevents civil action against any food company for obesity related diseases caused by their food. Perhaps this is a response to tobacco companies forcibly paying hundreds of billions of dollars to state medicate programs for…

Through the Looking Glass Many areas were covered in the self-test. Many of us may have been displeased with some low scores or maybe pleasantly surprised by some maturity they have grown into. If you are just an average everyday joker like me, you had more in the middle than anywhere else. The test was very vast and gave me a strong sense of where I was lacking. I don’t want to dwell on this but build myself up around areas I am strong (Bethel, 2014). Knowing the good, the bad…

An Inconspicuous Epidemic The fast food industry has been a growing epidemic since the first restaurant ever opened.
