Oreo

they wanted off of the shelves. “Look at this box of candy, mom. It looks so delicious!!!”, said my oldest brother Sam, as he showed my mom the box of candy. “Mom, can I please, please, please have this package of Oreos?” asked my brother Isaac, trying to get my mom to buy the Oreos. My mother was a kindhearted person, but she was firm. She never gave into either of my brothers’ wants or desires unless she felt it was earned, and this time was no exception. I did not talk while we were in…

along with junk food availability, has contributed to unhealthy eating habits in our society. In David Barboza’s “If You Pitch It, They Will Eat” (2003), Barboza claims that “Product tie-ins are everywhere. There are SpongeBob SquarePants Popsicles, Oreo Cookie preschool counting books, and Keebler’s Scooby Doo Cookies”. He is basically saying that there are big junk food companies trying to push their advertising onto things that kids find interesting. I remember the same thing happening when I…

Sugar Addictions In an article posted on October 16th by the Huffington Post, sugar is a real addiction. You may be addicted and not even know. Sugar affects the same parts of your brain that cocaine and heroine do. Those who are addicted to these dangerous drugs may feel the same as you when you crave, and eat sugar. In the New York Daily News they tell that the average American can eat an average of 152 pounds of sugar in just one year. That is approximately 2.4 pounds of sugar a day. The…

For this semester I have been reading the book “Too Much of A Good Thing” by Lee Goldman. Lee Goldman is a doctor that studies why we people as a species have been getting so sick. Lee Goldman has noticed that the rate of obesity, diabetes, and other issues has risen during recent times. In the book he explains how the traits that helped our ancestors survive, and become so successful are now making us sick. For example, more people are becoming obese because our ancestors would eat a lot when…

After this semester’s learning, I’m proud to say that have a much more comprehensive and systematic understanding about persuasion and persuasive communication. To be honestly, I’m always considered to be quite persuasive. Since I was a kid, I knew how to motivate people by telling them “you can do it and the problem is easy”, aka addressing self-efficacy and response-efficacy. However, it never occurred to me that solution information and threat information are of equal weight in persuasions;…

One day after a long day of work walking to my car I was deciding what should I feast on for dinner, being tired what came to my mind was cereal because I was not trying to spend hours in the kitchen…

Process Analysis Adams 4 Black sheep I am the only dark-skinned person in my family. My mother is white, my stepfather was white, and my brother and sister are white. I inherited the same 'white traits ' as my family. I ‘dressed like a white person’, ‘spoke like a white person,’ ‘listened to white music,’ and ‘ate white food.’ Even though I acted like my family (which is completely normal for children to behave similarly to their families), I was subject to curious stares…

Over the course of time, Americans were getting fatter and vulnerable to more diseases. Americans eating habits changed. They chose meats and fatty foods, instead of food that contain nutrients, minerals, and vitamins we needed. While America grew, so did the people living there. Fast-Foods were growing nationwide and were cheaper, quicker, and easier to buy. While they might seem great, they were deadly. New studies showed that processed meats caused colorectal cancer. It might taste good, but…

This being a prime example of how Viveca’s relationships shape and challenged her sense of identity. As the play progresses…
