The person may want to keep a food diary to help discover which foods make their condition worse and avoid them in the future. Some experts believe probiotic yoghurt drinks help settle the stomach and the nerves in the gut. • Lactose Intolerance is very common. It’s when people can’t tolerate the natural sugar found in
This means that they need different types of nutrition’s. For example since their metabolism tend to burn the food faster they need some type of heavy food but not too heavy so soon their metabolism won’t be able to break it down; which will cause them to gain weight. Pollan does point out in his book how fast food is not very healthy and how it is a poor quality of food. I am here to correct what he said towards fast food. Fast food can be good for you if you eat the fast food correctly.
The article, "The battle against fast food begins in the home" by Daniel Weintraub, explains how people are blaming McDonalds and other fast food restaurants such as Burger King, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Starbucks, and Pizza Hut for their obesity. The author disagrees with the blaming that people are doing. I also disagree. People are blaming and sueing the fast food restaurants for the decision they have made of being unhealthy. They are making comments such as, "The problem of obesity is so staggering, so out of control, that we have to do something."
But to a less fortunate homeless person, they would see a gold mine. In Lars Eighner’s essay “On Dumpster Diving”, he describes the art of homeless people scavenging, scrounging, and foraging through one’s trash, and making it their own necessity. He talks about how wasteful people are in the world no matter poor or wealthy. And he explains exactly how to be a pro at it. Eighner became a diver one year before he became homeless.
Acsher purpose, speaker, and intended audience isn’t evident until the end of the essay. Her main reason and purpose or writing the essay seems to be first that a way of defeating loneliness is to become your own best friend, and second to explain that even a homeless man can have dignity and can achieve self satisfaction . She depicts this when she describes him standing “unselfconsciously” tossing boxes aside. This shows he that even a homeless man is too good for a box demonstrating dignity. She then references Boxcar Child to endorse The Box man’s life and how he’s defeated his loneliness, and lives a more free and liberated life than the average person.
Food is very addictive just as cigarettes, alcohol and marijuana. We live in an environment of toxic food. Our schools vending machines are overflowing with cookies, candies, cakes and sodas. Our favorite restaurants do not provide us with a clear and concise label on what we are eating. Obviously our kids are becoming overweight with all of the unhealthy choices they have to choose from.
Dumpster Diving When I began reading “On Dumpster Diving” by Lars Eighner, I felt pity for him. I assumed he was just a homeless man digging for scraps of food in order for him and his dog to survive. I assumed this man must have little to no education, or perhaps he was a drug addict. As I kept reading on, I was surprised to find out Eighner is in fact quite intelligent. He gave “Dumpster Diving” a whole new meaning.
Pollan and Singer bring up an interesting point when they claim that the decision of whether or not to eat meat boils down to either satisfying “gastrointestinal preferences” or causing animals to continually suffer. However there is a flaw to this argument. The assumption that eating meat is a “gastrointestinal preference” assumes a first-world setting with individuals whose diets can be dictated by choice rather than practicality or affordability. The fact of the matter is that in low-income communities getting to a mere grocery store to get adequate nutrients is already a challenge. Couple the difficulty getting nutrients with the demand that humans not eat meat for ethical considerations and those who are low-income are in a situation where
Eigher’s writing is very persuasive because he describes scavenging as being “surprisingly pleasant”, unpredictable, and rewarding. Scavenging makes you independent and self- sufficient. A lot of knowledge is required to separate what is garbage and what is not, also what is needed and what is something simply being held on to. Eighner ultimately states how dumpster diving has provided him with two valuable lessons and a different way of perceiving ones trash. Hold onto what is needed and set aside the rest for someone who may need it more.
Why BAD tastes so GOOD? People love junk food, it is indeed a guilty pleasure but there are reasons why people consume a lot of junk food. Depress or sad people eat junk food and by doing that it will lead them to a life of medical issues. Food is everywhere we look; sitting along the roadsides, calling at you in bright colors from grocery store shelves, glowing in vending machines down the hallway. There is no way to escape the never ending advertisements from fast food restaurants.
