Fast Food Ban on Campus Obesity is a very large problem globally and especially in the United States of America. Obesity has been linked to foods and drinks high in fats and sugar. In an effort to combat obesity and improve the health of New Yorkers, the Mayor has created a soda ban. As a result of this ban, many universities and colleges are banning soda and fast food on campus. Though soda may indeed be unhealthy, adults should be able to decide what they choose to drink. While the soda…

Intro/Background http://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2015-chipotle-oral-history/ Chipotle Mexican Grill was founded by Steve Ells in 1993. The concept of the restaurant was inspired by the foil wrapped mission-style burritos Steve ate while working in San Francisco, California. When he proposed the idea to his friends and family, they were not too supportive about it. His dad’s response was “So you have six years of pretty expensive schooling here, and it's going to be burritos and tacos? Are…

During the summer, I enjoy going to the downtown area and watch the city come to life. There is always something to see or do during the summer months in the Chicago land area. Just exploring the lakefront by walking or riding a bike is exciting. To see so many people riding their bikes and running is enough to motivate anyone. The biggest problem I have is finding time to fit these activities into my schedule. There is always a festival going on every weekend in Chicago (Chicago Rib Fest,…

my mother scream something about my name and I instantly remembered what I had been doing before whatever I’m doing now. I look down and see the big fish below me. As a ten year old, many things seem “big”, but these fish really were overfed, french fry eating monsters. It is Late June, 2011, and I am on an island in the Caribbean, enjoying a vacation with my family. My grandparents moved to the island after my mother and uncle moved out of the house back in Gladstone, Missouri. Now, Grandma,…

America is known for many things, but one thing in particular that stands out is America’s interest in fast foods. During the mid-20th century, the McDonalds brothers opened their first drive-through McDonald’s restaurant in San Bernardino, California. The drive-through was significant because “the number of single-parent families and the number of women working outside the home have increased greatly” which means that people didn’t have time to go home and cook a homemade meal every day (source…

spouse and son share a moment of bonding over food and sports conversation. Sitting next to me is my own portion of this hectic weeknight indulgence, McDonald’s french fries, which makes the work I am about to discuss that much more poignant because it is woven into the fabric of my own life. In his 2001 essay “The Trouble with Fries” Malcolm Gladwell makes a simple statement, “Fast food is killing us. Can it be fixed?” These words are meant to provoke a deep, visceral reaction from the reader…
