Doritos

It’s halftime of the Giants and the Patriots super bowl, Patriots are leading 10 to 9. My family surrounding me and we are waiting on … the advertisements? That’s right, we are all geared up and ready for super bowl ads. The only person actually watching the game was my dad. My mom, brothers, sisters, and I were all waiting for the half time ads. So, why do companies pay a whopping 4.5 million dollars for a 30 second slot of time during the super bowl? For the simple fact of, we watch them.…

ride our bikes in the street and not worry about any cars. Playing in the street was something major to a kid. When our mothers would give us money, off to the corner store we went. There was no doubt in our minds, we would each get a bag of Doritos and a quarter water drink. If we had any change left over, we would get some penny candies. Little chewy tootsie roll candies that just melted on your tongue. The best were the red and purple ones. My mom hardly let me eat junk so I was in…

losing sons as a result of this petty crime. As far as research goes and as far as I can tell, the only type of destruction that can be done with someone having marijuana in their system of having it for recreational use is the slaughter of a bag of Doritos. I feel that this deserves to be modified and if this is done, then the rate of people being incarcerated will drop…

It’s been surprisingly peaceful today. Normally, Mrs. Sorun’s Relationship Development I class is loud, obnoxious and overall chaotic place to be in, but today there is this sense of calmness around my personal space that I can’t quite put my finger on for why it’s there. I know I shouldn’t be complaining, I love myself some peace and quiet, but I can’t shake the fact that I’m uncomfortable with this current atmosphere. Maybe Ariana would know. “Hey Fatty…” When I turned and noticed she wasn’t…

Ever since our President Barack Obama became President his first lady has had a goal encourage physical activity for children and promote healthy eating. Michelle Obama created the “Let’s Move!” campaign which encourages physical activity for children instead of staying at home and watching television all day.

When I clicked on Generation Like (citation), I thought the video would be about conformity or how everyone is like each other. Instead it was referencing likes as in Facebook likes. The video talked about more than just social media though. It asked the question "What are companies doing to our kids through technology and how can they and we be more aware?" (Citation). This video is a good start in helping people become more aware of how the different platforms of social media are used to…

PHIL 4300: Philosophy of Food Dr. Kaplan October 8, 2015 Zack Viator Is food important for more reasons than nutrition? Well it is hard to argue against the fact that nutrients are the most crucial part of human life, or human existence. Some might say love is the most crucial thing for a human’s existence. To that, I say: good luck loving something without nutrition… Food is the best gift you can bestow on a human. Perhaps second, only to the gift of life your mother…

Which means they don’t eat well, they don’t eat the good nutritional foods they need. Ehrenreich asks us a question saying “What is harder for the non poor to see is poverty as acute distress: The lunch that consists of Doritos or hot dog rolls, leading to faintness before the end of the shift” (page 23). She is implying that consuming unhealthy food consecutively day after day can lead a person to have anxiety and it can make them faint. And we know that it can lead a…

The bell let out a piercing cry and his competitors roared out of the gates. Mr. Quiggly knew his place though and, with little effort, he sprinted to the front. He felt as if he was running with bulls, except the bulls were dogs, and he was the fastest of the aforementioned dogs. With little effort, he passed Silver Prince and moon walked across the finish line. He had earned the Sketchers promotion deal, which he would soon be known for. Panting with acceptance, he stared into the cameras as…

I know you go out to the lake and take a nap, but little do you know it is relaxing. The next day Annakate came too. That made it even more fun. First we went up to our room and we ate some Doritos and pop. Then we laughed so hard Annakate threw it up. So we gave it a break and went out on the tube again. It was so much fun except I couldn’t stay for the second time because I was laughing too I much. Once we got done we went out on the…
