Schlosser presents us with the ways how the fast food nation has changed the communities around us. In this essay, I will talk about the changes of our community, Obesity in children and adults, Slaughterhouses, a liability of workers, the truth behind fast food, why people like fast food, advice to people who love fast food. This all connects and…

Arabic food seems to be one of the dominant markers of Elmaz Abinader‘s identity during childhood as the theme of food is omnipresent in the first part of the story. The role of the Arabic food is a comforting one because the food makes Abinader forget the problems that her differences cause at school. "The smell was hypnotic and mitigated the melancholy I carried home with my lessons to do that night" (3). She tells that on Wednesday her mother cooks several delicious Arabic specialities such…

manage and share the gift of water which was conveyed to them by a goddess. These priest beliefs and practical actions were so intertwined that there was no discernable distinction between religion and every day function. The irrigation of the rice patties is so essential for the Bali people that many played a part in the grand scheme by helping manage the fields. The management of water was so precise that even flooding of fields were planed out. When the new techniques were used they ended…

Death is final with no point of return and extremely painful for the ones left behind to grieve. This was especially true for me when I lost my mother. Losing her was one of the most difficulty experiences in my life because I was not prepared for her death. Looking back on the situation, there was nothing for which to prepare; she was only fifty-one years old. I knew her health was not the best; however, the diagnosed health problems were not what killed her. Occurring without warning, her…

Lying is obviously a bad thing. It’s been in the world since the beginning, when Adam and Eve got kicked out of the Garden of Eden. Some articles say it’s good for kids to lie to their parents. That it’s a part of growing up and for the parents not to worry. However they don’t have an article about my current situation; guess the internet doesn’t have everything after all. Lying to your parents is a big “No-No” in our house. You lie your grounded, “no B?”grounded, “you didn’t hear the ‘s’ in yes…

That area is in the transmitting of the printed Word of God. For millennia mankind has used any material available to write on. This has ranged from common, ordinary stone to hand sized…

I had never seen the ocean before. I had seen charcos or “puddles”, as they call it here. I had seen ponds and wells as well, but never the ocean. You see, my homeland is in the center between land and the ocean. My homeland is called El Rincon de Don Pedro, located in the state of Michoacan, Mexico. From El Rincon de Don Pedro to the ocean, it’s about 572 km or 355.424 miles, about a 7 hr. 31 min. drive. My family and I couldn’t afford to drive such distance. We didn’t have enough money to…

However, this is not the only dangerous contents fast food can contain. Pathogenic diseases have been known to arise is some fast food chains. For example, in August of 1997, Hudson Foods recalled their ground beef that had been used in many hamburger patties in the fast food industry. By the time it was announced 25 million pounds of ground beef had already been eaten. It was found to contain harmful pathogens (Schlosser, 2007). Another recent example of this was the E. Coli breakout throughout…
