Fast Food Nation

Americans” When you drive through fast food you have the option to get your meal in a small, medium, or large every time. The small would be ideal but when you are hungry you think it is literally too “small” so most go for large. The large is equivalent to a supersized meal. In America it is not uncommon to be overweight and order supersized meals. There are many contributions to being overweight, but there is one that is simply the biggest factor. The fast-food industry has caused Americans to…

to be increasingly overweight. When it comes to food and health, people are always overindulging in the most unhealthy food. So the question is: are the people uninformed or are they just downright careless and lazy? Some people say if we could rule out Mcdonald's, Wendy's, Chick-Fil-A, etc. obesity would be less of…

with two of my friends, Julia and Sharon. It was around lunch time, so we all went ahead and ate. While devouring our Mexican food, my friends and I asked Milo a few questions about NAU. He works as a network engineer at NAU. He is the guy who keeps the campus running smoothly. He told us how the campus is not considered a campus; it is a community. There are Mexican food restaurants, grocery stores, coffee houses, and a movie theatre, but sadly, parking is not free. Luckily, everything is in…

A desolate, endless wasteland of flat grassy plains, the monotony of which was only interrupted by the occasional road sign, was all to be seen as I drearily stared out our black station wagon’s dirty window. The huge expanse of sky above was completely free of clouds and the sun beat down on our car mercilessly. The heat was almost unbearable and to make things worse, at this point in our long drive, the car’s AC was going in and out. My mom, Michaela, my sister, and I were currently traveling…

Amidst the eighteenth century, kids came to constitute an imperative new market for book retailers (or rather, the grown-ups buying books for their benefit did).

The rise of new printing advances made books less…

Ever since I was six, I knew Niagara Falls Canada would have a special place in my heart. I can still hear the sound of the falls crashing like bowling pins, from atop of Clifton Hill like it was yesterday. Who would've thought that a 670 meter waterfall would end up being so relaxing, and beautiful. Not to mention the smell of sizzling burgers and brick oven cooked pizza that drips cheese like a leaky faucet. The restaurants all over the strip make your mouth water from a mile away. There are…

1) The Art of Pizza The Lakeview pizzeria was named the best deep dish in town by a Tribune poll several years ago and today many still agree. The fantastic pizza offered at The Art Of Pizza is a delight with its flaky crust and its fantastic sauce. 2) Lou Malnati's Although Lou Malnati's can be found at River North and other locations, there is nothing cookie-cutter about this fantastic pizza joint. The pizza served at Lou's may come the closest to what the original deep dish pie tasted like…
