Healthy People 2020 is a campaign launched by the Department of Health and Human Services, with a focus to improve the health of the nation. Every ten years, they identify new or existing health issues and find ways of improving them. A few of their missions are to educate the public on the current health issues and how they can prevent them, and to provide the public with specific goals and objectives for each major health issue. Since obesity has been a growing health issue for the past few…
When trying to lose weight or become healthier, we often think we need to kill ourselves in the gym in order to see results. Being active, and working out is only 20% of the battle. The other 70% is how we eat. Anyone can workout for an hour, but how many of us can control what we eat for the other 23-hours in the day? To find how to make healthier choices in the day I went to Hello-Bistro to check out their juice bar. Delicious Raw is Hello Bistro's juice bar where they serve a variety of…
In “English is a Crazy Language”, Lederer, Richard uses rhetorical question to effectively persuade his audience who speak English or someone interested in English that even though English is most popular and main language, it is an amazing and crazy language in the world. First, he points out the fact that a lot of people speak English and most of the book are written in English. He directly addresses that English are all over the world nowadays.

The most eventful thing I have done this summer was going to Turkey Run. It’s two hours away from Wheatfield, and it’s in Marshall. The drive was pretty long on the way there, my mom had to run an errand or two and then we went to McDonalds for lunch. Then we just continued our drive there.

Once we finished exploring, my mom, my brother and I…

Americans throw away 40% of all food produced in a year. This waste would only be justified if no Americans lived in food-insecure households, which is far from the case. The photo of the homeless man searching among mountains of wasted food personifies this problem. Just as a holocaust survivor puts a face with a tragic event, this image gives the viewer a different perspective of food waste. Instead of only seeing statistics on the unfed homeless, this photo embodies desperation and confusion.…
nutrition facts and the idea of eating healthy. He also mentions that the food industry, nutrition science, and journalism are the parties that have been the cause of this confusion about eating healthy. He thinks that worrying about nutrition facts and living a so called “healthy” lifestyle is the wrong way Americans think about eating today. I agree with Pollan’s argument because focusing on nutrition facts and dietary foods can mislead the consumer and create some health problems.…
“Tortilla de Camarones” from Andalucia was transformed to “Bacalaito” a large pancake shaped fritter made with cod fish. In the last 3 decades, various “Panaderias Españolas” or Spanish bakeries and restaurants have emerged to serve traditional Spanish foods including the well known bakery “La Ceiba” located in town of Isla Verde. At Christmas time, the “turrones” a sweet nougat is always well received as well as number one sold Spanish wines “Los Rioja” and “Ribera de…
Summertime Hunger: Does it Exist? Anna Quindlen wrote an essay about children lacking food throughout the Summer. Anna uses powerful stories and statistics to show the reader that childhood hunger throughout the Summer months does indeed, exist. “It’s the beginning of Summer in America’s cement cities, in the deep hidden valleys of the country and the loop-de-loop sidewalkless streets of the suburbs. For many adults who are really closet kids, this means that their blood hums with a hint of…
the cub scouts which began my life long campaign of helping people. I started off learning to take the oath to serve the people weather it be by the organization or myself. I assisted by selling popcorn for charity organizations ( The San Antonio Food Bank and The Knights of Columbus) or for money that we needed for our camp out trips. I prepared for every task that was thrown at me such as helping pick up garbage at our church, throwing plastic bottles in recycling bins, and helping the…
