Pasta

And our own government endorsed these kinds of foods when it unveiled the food pyramid in 1992. (Photo: AP/USDA) Foods like bread, cereal, rice and pasta formed the base of the pyramid, suggesting that carbs should make up the majority of one’s diet. But they got it wrong, really wrong, and the rates of disease in this country are more than enough proof. It’s time all of us, including the government…

Throughout my time volunteering at First Light Women and Children’s Shelter, I have asked many questions. A lot of my questions, as I have discovered, can be solved, explained, or made sense of by using concepts from Heifetz et al.’s teachings such as leadership, authority, and adaptive challenges. Recently, I have studied Schein’s concept of humble inquiry. My learning while serving at First Light has been rooted in asking questions and inquiring. Thus, Schein’s concept has prompted me to…

(NIDA 2016) The young men in the Chapare would smoke spiked cigarettes coated with pasta to help alleviate the pain of their decaying skin and to allow them to continue working despite their condition. (Weatherford 1986) The pasta is laced with the chemical residue of cocaine and acts similar to it by sending excess amounts of dopamine into the reward circuit. As a tolerance builds, the continual smoking of these pasta wrapped cigarettes is needed to achieve the same feelings of relief and to…

Tap water or filtered water? This is a debate that is a never-ending one. Although water in the United States is mostly free of certain microorganisms that can cause certain illnesses there's no real guarantee that it's 100% safe for you. Tap water is chlorinated before it gets to our taps to drink but who wants to drink water that tastes and smells like chlorine? Not to mention how all that chlorine and either added or unfiltered foods can contaminate or change the flavor of the foods that you…

I look over to the kitchen table to two little girls coloring and doing homework. I turn back to the pasta and hear the front door open. “ Guys we're back from practice.” I breathe a sigh of relief now I can focus on the pasta and they can watch the kids. I finish the pasta and start on the next thing. So far everything is great until I hear the crying and I feel a little body attached to my leg. Picking the four year old up and placing…

Being given the opportunity to participate in the Birthright AFRICA program would afforded me the chance further to develop my African identity and continue to grow as an individual. Culture is the foundation behind every individual; it is what plants us firm in our ideals and beliefs. It is what navigates us through difficult periods and decisions. Culture is the glue that bonds us together as one voice, one experience, and one people. Despite at times taking my culture for granted, my…
