In the USA today, fast food is a contributor to dietary habits, with 11.3 percent of the total calories in the typical American diet coming from fast food. Common fast food choices include pizza, burgers, fried potatoes and soft drinks. Many people who eat fast food tend to have higher fat intakes and poorer diets. Fast food does have some benefits, however, and you can consume fast food occasionally as part of a healthy diet. The U.S. government is now tirelessly trying to promote healthy…

route than a lot of my peers. I chose to study, do educational activities, and network with different people instead of typical teen things such as parties. This resulted in my dialect being slightly different than my peers. So I was coined the Token Oreo student. This means that people would say that I was black on the outside but white in the middle. People would tell me to turn on my black if we were locked of the classroom, or if I got angry in class, or if something went missing. So going…

For this activity, I chose the granite and laundry chute event. I chose this event because this is a very memorable memory for me. My sister and I were 10 years old. I, personally can remember things when the event is linked to a holiday or special occasion. I remember, it was the day of a halloween party, and my sister had her friend Parker over. We ate lunch, then we decided to play with a basket on a weaved rope in the laundry chute. As we all knew would eventually happen, we got a bright…

Research conducted by Vanessa I. Clendenen, C. Peter Herman, and Janet Polivy (1994) at the University of Toronto supports the postulation that meals eaten in the company of others are larger than those eaten alone. This idea can be defined by the term “social facilitation,” which is how we modify our actions based on who we are with. Their study investigated whether or not different social facilitation theories of various well-renowned social scientists, such as J. M. de Castro and D. S. Krantz…

solving them is a problem. Eating when there is nothing to do, or just because, is another trigger known as boredom or feelings of emptiness. I think we all have been in a place where your home alone, and there’s nothing on the television so you find Oreo cookies or something to stuff your face with, just because you can. Thinking back to childhood memories, have you ever been given a treat for having good behavior or to cheer you up if you were feeling down and out? if so, this is a trigger…

black woman. Middle School. How could I have dismissed the benighted comments, which rolled off naïve tongue-"You're pretty, but black people are usually ugly, no offense." "You don't act like a black girl." "She's pretty, but her hair is weird." "Hey Oreo!" "I don't date black girls, no offense." The list goes on. I brushed it off, believing that suppressing my blackness would be for the better. Maybe if I acted "more white" people would treat me with respect. I always pushed myself to be…

Tier one is about building relationships with the students in the classroom, their parents, and the colleagues that you work with. While observing I noticed that Miss Reinee is in regular communication with parents through out the day through either e-mail, phone, text, or journals. She also invites parents in for lunch on a regular basis to visit with their student for lunch. Another observation was that she is very eager to help colleagues when they need her assistance. For instance, another…

Anorexia Versus Bulimia Anorexia and Bulimia are both eating disorders that are common among both men and woman. Anorexia is an eating disorder that affects women all over the world. Seeing yourself as twice the size you are, as well as common social pressure are the main causes for this disorder. Woman will consume fewer than 1,000 calories a day while excessively exercising to lose the nonexistent weight they are viewing in the mirror. Anorexia not only affects woman, but it can affect…

Healthier School Lunches: Problem or Solution? Nowadays, School lunch is anything but appetizing. After the introduction of Michelle Obama’s Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act, school lunches are now smaller, healthier, and more expensive than ever before. Schools across the country have been forced to provide healthier lunches to their students, but it seems there are more disadvantages than advantages to this plan. The Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act was first introduced in January of 2010, more…

here's what happened: An overweight professor of nutrition at Kansas State University went on a junk food diet for two months and lost 27 pounds. His diet consisted of mostly Twinkies, with a smattering of Little Debbies, Doritos, sugary cereals, Oreo cookies. So as not to set too bad an example in front of his kids, he also ate a small amount of canned vegetables at family dinners and a daily protein shake. The fact that he lost weight isn't really the part that's puzzling. You can lose…
