generation prior. When I look at the routines that have emerged from the union of my parents, I see something that is varied. My mother’s families are of mixed backgrounds and it is obvious in her bag of tricks when it comes what I was fed as a child. My Great Grandmothers on my mother’s side were Cajun and Irish, so I ate gumbo and corned beef and cabbage. My father’s family was Italian from the region of Campania, so pasta was a staple of my father’s diet and so it became a staple in the diet of our family. Levi-Strauss talks about a triangle in cuisine, one that is comparable to language. As every language has basic distinct units of sound, or phonemes, so does each cuisine have a basic unit of food preparation; this being the raw, the cooked and the rotted. Levi-Strauss states “In any cuisine, nothing is simply cooked, but must be cooked in one fashion or another.” (Levi-Straus, Food, 41) In analyzing my family’s food routine I recognize that when we eat certain meals, the preparation becomes key to the experience of that meal. On St Patrick’s Day you may eat corned beef and cabbage. The preparation of this meal is simple, boiled meat with spices and vegetables served with a basic peasant bread. A traditional Mardi Gras meal prepared in the Cajun style, would be a gumbo or a stew made with well-seasoned meat and vegetables and served over rice. Although these meals do not taste at all alike, the preparation is in the same basic style of cooking, but…
Nutritionist Corinna Koebnick and colleagues studied 513 raw-foodists with who ate between 70 percent and 100 percent raw food in their diets. The average weight loss when changing from a cooked to a raw diet was 26.5 pounds for women and 21.8 pounds for men. They found that a third of the study subjects had a chronic energy deficiency, leading them to conclude that “a strict raw food diet cannot guarantee an adequate energy supply.” This study was done on modern humans living in Germany, where…
on the raw food diet for dogs. The raw food diet is a controversial subject in some circles. This makes it a valuable study to learn what the raw food diet is. I will also look at what some of the reasons for switching to a raw food diet are and try to answer the question of whether this is a healthy alternative to conventional dog foods. Background The raw food diet was first proposed in 1993 by Dr. Ian Billinghust. He coined the acronym BARF. This stands for the Biologically Appropriate Raw…

In his graphic novel, “Maus”, Art Spiegelman tells a survivor’s tale of his father, Vladek Spiegelman. Valdek was a Jewish-Polish survivor of World War II.

“You can have a wrestling idea, but you need these momentum shifting moves.. We had the Hulkamania movement, then it shifted to the beer drinking, Stone Cold era. We reinvented the business with becoming the bad guy. What’s the next level?” (“Hulk Hogan’s Quotes”). This quote by former WWE wrestler Hulk Hogan illustrates the change of the wrestling industry. A man who was the accelerant to that change was “Stone Cold” Steve Austin. Born in Austin Texas, Steve grew up in a low income family. He…
Shally and Katz express struggles common to men such as good vs. evil, power vs. submissiveness, and work vs. ownership. Gender, like race and class, is a part of professional wrestling. Professional wrestling leaves little surprise that boys to act act masculine. As Katz says, “we get a very traditional and very conservative version of masculinity represented as an ideal of physical strength, the ability to control and scare other people, to intimidate, and especially to not back away from…
two different days. The first assessment that was given was the Wide Range Achievement Test 4(WRAT4). Sean was only asked to take two parts of the assessment the spelling portion and the math computation portion. On the spelling portion of the assessment he received a raw spelling score of 27. Which means that out of the 42 words he spelled 27 of those words correctly. It was assumed that he would be able to do the letter writing portion of the exam so he was given a perfect raw score of 15.…
and why is it so interesting to its fans? These words were spoken by director and producer, Barry Blaustein, in his documentary.
