ban on soda using food stamps

The purpose of food stamps is to buy food. They are meant to help people who cant afford to buy foods. Though you cannot buy cigarettes, beer, and liquor with them you buy pretty much every food product out there. Soda is linked to diabetes and obesity due to its high sugar and high calorie content and it is not neccessary for the body. So i agree with the first author Anemona Hartocollus, even though people should limit their sugary beverage intake we should not make a full out ban on buying the products with food stamps. At the end of the day food stamps are practically money and its up to the person to decide how to use them. Telling people what they cant or cant buy...   

spring break reading and supersize me thoughts

    The movie supersize me was a very interesting movie. It was a documentary in which a guy went on a McDonalds binge over thirty days and he documented the change in his body.

It also brings to light why and how McDonalds is bad for you and show why you should slow down if not stop eating McDonalds. The part I liked about the movie was when they talked about the two obese teens suing McDonalds. I totally agree with Morgan Spurlock because he says that it is not the company’s fault but it is up to the person to eat the food. Personally I think it’s ridiculous that a person can even sue for being obese. I’ll tell you about McDonalds customers. I work at McDonalds, so one day this lady walks in and orders a big mac, quarter pounder, mc chicken, two large fries, fish o filet, and a large diet coke. No one expected her to sit in the lobby and eat it all by herself but she did and came back every two or three days for the same thing. So at what point is it the customers fault not the company, because ultimately it’s up to the customer what they eat.

    Chapter two of fast food nation was about the relationship between Walt Disney and Ray Kroc. Apparently they knew each other since they were young and served in the military together in ww1. The both had similar business styles and focused on selling their products to children.it also stated similarities in between the two businesses and the antiunion sentiment between the two men. I think that even though Walt Disney and Ray Kroc have a survival of the fittest mentality, they should have cared more about their workers and their customers.

self review of revised essay

1. Introduction- the introduction was factual but it was a bit boring, try to keep reader interested.

2. Thesis- the thesis was easy to understand and clearly pointed out.

3. First paragraph is about chicken. There could have been more details about production of chicken and more quotes should be added to prove your opinion better.

Second paragraph is about vegetables. Add more information about t taste and more about health benefits. Again like first paragraph add more proof and use more sources.

Last two body paragraphs are about preparation.  Description of food was good but more detail on how the 1900’s recipe is more nutritious.

Conclusion restated the main arguments clearly and wrapped up the essay well.

4. There were no major grammar or spelling error but the ay could be a bit more interesting. More facts could have been given and more sources could be used.

5. Your source was not cited correct by MLA standards but there was a bibliography.

6. Your essay was very factual, could be a bit interesting. More proof must be used to back up claims, and more very vague.

Conclusion- I need to spend more time working on proving my point and backing up my arguments.
