Once out of the Golden Line Metro heading down the dark stair case, the noise starts to increase and a busy walkway opens before our eyes. The clacking of women’s heels, the hushed conversations of business men, the different languages being spokes, suite cases being rolled on the tiled ground, and people embracing each other for the first times in years, make up Union Station. Being one of Los Angeles’ central points, it unites people and takes them on new adventures daily. Now on its 75th…

As I sat down to read Lizzie Widdicobme’s “The End of Food”, I could not help but to thoroughly analyze the $8.80 Chipotle dinner I had eaten fifteen minutes prior. It took me roughly six-minutes to get there, 12 minutes in line, and an additional 6 minutes to get home—Between the meal and parking, a total of 24 minutes of my day and $9.05 had come to pass. Although most, myself included, would classify this trip as efficient, Rob Rhineheart, CEO of the Soylent Corporation would argue otherwise.…

The Socioeconomics of Nutrition and Health play a huge role in children’s and adults health. People of lower class are usually associated with not being educated.

There is also a big epidemic of children getting too many calories in a day but barely meeting their nutritional needs. This could lead to…
