Knowing how much we love these kinds of flavors, food…

not force anyone to eat anything. Besides, any type of food can be good in moderation, and people are the ones who ultimately choose what they are going to eat. Likewise, Kelly Brownell and Marion Nestle believe that the fast food restaurants are the ones to blame for our obesity, because according to them, if we blame the victims (you, I and society as a whole) are like letting the food industry get away with a crime because for them fast food is poison. Likewise, Brownell and Nestle argues…

that consuming fast food brings. However, when asked if the knowledge of those risks will prompt them to stop dinning at their favorite fast food restaurant, the public almost unanimously answers a big fat no. It makes sense though, fast food restaurants are so abundant that there is almost a 2 to 1 ratio of people to branches of the restaurants in our country. This makes them easily accessible, chances are you’ve driven past a local branch today. Also the price of a fast food meal is…

What is Food? What is the Purpose of Food? Many people have the options of choosing where to eat and what to eat. Some even choose to eat microwavable foods as option for dinner. But can you recall when you ate a home cooked meal? Or when you went to your local farmers market?

here like to eat out a lot. Fast food places are a favorite and parents barely cook at home. A friend of mine eats out for all three meals of the day. He says his parents don’t cook, and that when they do he doesn’t like the food they make. A normal day for him would be breakfast at McDonald’s, lunch at Panera and dinner at BWW. Not only is this expensive but it is also very unhealthy. In contrast, people in Bogotá would rather eat a healthy meal at home than fast food at a restaurant. They do…
