of Eating Fast Food, “Showing children how to prepare low fat snacks and meals may deter them from developing unhealthy eating patterns and prevent the onset of obesity and disease.” Obesity needs to cease, as it lowers academic standards. We also need to watch our diet, what we eat, and monitor other things such as our blood pressure cholesterol. One main effect of eating too much fast food is obesity, that is self-evident,…

Is the fast food industry declining as new healthier alternatives become more readily available and how does this affect the fast food industry? Introduction While the majority of fast food restaurants offer healthier menu options, a recent study has found that less than 3 per cent of customers actually order them (Clarke, 2011). Most people are aware that fast food is not the healthiest food available, yet generally they choose to ignore it in favor of the convenience, taste or cost of the…

Perhaps a staple of the diets in many developed nations, my favorite dish is the traditional hamburger with fries that is typically found in most fast food chains in the Americas and Europe. Hamburgers are an extremely popular dish across many nations, and there are many sociological reasons that the dish is favored, in addition to the arguably almost addictive ingredients and chemical additives added in the most popular servings of this dish. Despite the many qualities of the current hamburger…

Has one ever asked themselves what is in their food, probably not, and the answer to why not is very simple, as a society we don 't want to know what is in our 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…

well-done depending on your preference. I have only had to send my steak back once for being over cooked and dry. Management had the chefs recook my steak and gave my family a 25% discount on our bill. The quality of the children food was better than any fast food restaurant that I have experienced. With a family of five we can go to Texas Roadhouse and enjoy a quality meal for about the same price that we would spend at McDonalds. The service at the restaurant starts with a friendly hostess.…

America has one of the worst obesity problems in the world, leading in child obesity. One of the most common believes is that fast food restaurant have to be blame for this problem, but it should not.

After spending countless hours with Stefani, or Stefalicious, the thing that stands out the most to me is how much fun it is being around and with her. To try and say that I can accurately represent Stef from one experience or by one trait would be untruthful and an incomplete representation of her character. However, I can try to show you what kind of a relationship we have through a couple conversations and stories. I met Stefani the first Sunday of last semester. I was assigned to home…

malls. This is why in well-designed places you’ll find the more popular stores and restaurants on the right side. I found this very amusing. In Independence Center, there are stores on all sides of the mall, but down in the Food Court, there are six fast food options on the right side, but only one on the left. You would think one restaurant being alone would stand out more, but this strategic placement actually is a trap for convenience. Why walk across the food court when I enjoy Panda Express…

Modern Food Cultivation; America’s Unhealthy Eating Habits America’s obsession with food, the expanding waistlines of individuals serve as a testament to the previous statement. Throughout America cities and towns, there are literally thousands of fast food restaurants; such as McDonald’s, Burger King and Wendy’s. It is a fair statement to say that America’s relationship with food is a love-hate relationship. On one hand, Americans like to indulge in their food; this explains why the food…
