Is the recession making us fat? It’s no secret that Americans, as a whole, are fatter than ever before. Obesity transcends all ages, cultures, and religions. While some question the role that the current economic recession pays in this epidemic (Campbell, 2009), the evidence of this connection is clear. The side effects of hard economic times, increased poverty, stress, and lack of free time as people juggle second and third jobs to make ends meet, push Americans toward the cheapest and quickest meals.
This may be because Black Prisoners often enter from impoverished backgrounds with higher rates of violent crimes; therefore “import “their cultural norms which condone violent behaviour. The other model of institutional aggression is the deprivation model. This claims that the characteristics of the prison itself is the reason rather than the prisoners. They argue that it is the experiences of imprisonment that causes extreme stress and frustration which in turns leads to violence.

The citizens of Oceania are made to feel the decay of the society in their own body. Winston describes having a “varicose ulcer above his right ankle”. This image explains to us how human nature is being blocked from people of Oceania causing pain and suffering.

In Lord of the flies, Simon and Piggy are both seen as outcasts in the story, but play different roles in reflecting and contrasting the deteriorating morality among the boys as time flies, and their positions with the main characters, Ralph and Jack, in terms of physical ability and mainly in spiritual terms. They both represent different qualities that the boys no longer treasure and disregard as much importance of as time passes by. Simon represents the recognition between good and evil, and also, the purity and goodness of humanity, where Piggy symbolizes intelligence and rationality. For Piggy, we can already get a grip on how unwelcomed he is in the very start of chapter one, where everything was still unsettled and unexplored, the first person he met on this island, Ralph, had already shown no interest on him. In terms of physical ability, Piggy is portrayed as a fat, highly unattractive and a greasy figure that is not very active and quite sluggish in actions, compared to Ralph.
He believes that because his BMI categorizes himself as being fat and unhealthy when in reality he is a very healthy person than the BMI is completely useless. I don’t believe this is true because his situation is not the standard situation. I disagree when Paul Campos says that nutritious information passed around by the diet industries are all lies, because in recent research people are getting larger year after year and the average BMI has risen with it. As asserted by David Zinzenko in his article “Don’t Blame the Eater” type 2 diabetes, the kind which is caused by obesity has gone up 25 percent since 1994, while the money spent to treat diabetes has gone up as well since 1969 (pg
"The truth was, I suppose, that a man with so small an income could not afford to sport such a lustrous face and a lustrous coat at one and the same time."

He presented him with his own coat.

The local farmers market always has the great fruit and vegetable options that can fit everyone’s budget and still make a delicious meal (“Obesity in America, By the Numbers: NPR”).
