Summary:
In this field report, I spent a good deal of time purchasing food in restaurant and fast food venues. I often ate my meals at home in morning and at, times, during the evening, but I found that more than half of my eating habits were through fast food venues. I noticed that I often traveled to school and work, which made it more convenient to buy fast food. However, the quality of fast food is a concern, since I was only able to have one “healthy” dinner on Day 3. In most cases, I found that I often bought food on my own, and in some cases, with friends. I tend to spend a lot of time purchasing food on the road, which illustrates the busy schedule that I have to maintain on a regular basis. Overall, this field study exposed the important role of convenience and the fast food industry that dominates my eating
On a Friday evening, I expected the restaurant to be really crowded and we would have to wait for a table. Surprisingly, there wasn’t a wait and we got a table right away. Almost right as we sat down there was a waiter with our chips with salsa and to take our drink orders. The
Next, we were told to mingle around and make the guests feel comfortable. In Finch Fieldhouse was hundreds of people who were here to receive the food we provided, and each of them had their own story to tell. I spent about a half an hour talking and getting to know some of them while we waited for the food truck to arrive. When it arrived I helped unload some of the boxes of food, which were surprisingly varied. I expected to see loads and loads of non-perishable foods, but instead I unloaded potatoes, apples, cakes and squash. I prepared bags to hand out, and arranged them on the tables. The people of the community began to line up, and I volunteered at the dessert table. Every person who went by was given one or two desserts like cookies, donuts, pie or cake. I could see the happiness on their faces as I handed out treats and laughed with them. The most memorable moment was when a young girl and her father came through the line. They had been waiting in line almost the whole time, and the dessert stand was the last table. When they walked by, I asked the young girl what kind of dessert she wanted, and she looked at her father as if to ask permission. He told her to pick one out, and she quietly asked for a cake. I spent some time searching for the perfect cake, one that had chocolate frosting. When I handed it to her, her face lit up like the sun. I had
It was a hot, summer day. Although it was only morning, we could feel the sun beating down on us. The lines weren't too long; after about twenty minutes, we were finally inside the park. First thing I noticed was the delicious smell of food. I hadn't had breakfast and definatley wanted some food. We went to go eat at an indoor restaurant where I chose a chicken burger. Laughter was filling the air as we ate, making us all the more excited to get on some rides. After eating, we decided to walk around to let our food go down and see what rides we wanted to get on.
I opened the fridge and found the leftovers of my burrito that I didn’t finish last night. I finished that up and got ready. After an hour I got ready in my basketball clothes and went with my mom to play the game, even though my stomach was not agreeing with my choice of plans.
Cathleen hopped off my bed, where she was reading the comics pages of a newspaper from my stash, while I begun to stand up, feeling stiff and numb from sitting on the floor for so long. We rushed out of our room and down the (admittedly very short) hallway to the kitchen table. I hoped lunch was something warm; maybe soup or chicken with rice. Rather, it was ham and cheese sandwiches with chopped carrots and ice water.
I felt a little emotional at the moment, but I kept my promise, and I made breakfast. While the radio blasted Johnny Gill’s Rub You the Right Way, my mood improved. As I measured the oil, flour, and sugar, Trudy mixed the ingredients together and poured them into baking pans. We were going to have apple muffins, banana pancakes, and cinnamon buns. I made sure that I left enough batter for tomorrow morning's breakfast because I wanted to take Levi a few muffins. The kitchen smelled like a bakery, and I was sure that the boys would appear out of the basement
During the date, the restaurant that we all wanted to go to was full; instead we all decided to buy milk tea and bread from a bakery. It was my treat. Then Kevin suggested that we walk around Main Street, so we did. At 9:30 pm Judy and I decided to go home because our house was 30 minutes away from the school.
The purpose of this assignment is to track and display the food choices we make and the way we eat affects our lifestyle and health. This paper addresses my personal food intake for the past three days. Next I will compare my food choices with my WileyPlus profile and determine whether I am maintaining healthy eating habits. There are foods that a person can eat in order to make sure that the daily required intake is being made. Sometimes it is really hard for a person like me to make sure I eat all the foods that I am supposed to so that I can consume all the nutrients that my body needs in a day. I know I will need to modify my eating
I was very confused and wasn't sure if I wanted to go. As the time passed by during 4th block, I look at my phone and notice it is 2:21 in the afternoon. I have about 3 hours left to determine if I really wanted to go. School ends and I go home and it is 4:23 p.m., I decide to go. I got ready and by the time I was heading off, it was 5:30 p.m., and my stomach started to turn. I didn't know what was coming and what to expect. It all changed once the waiter came and gave me exactly what I order when I come here every Saturday. A cinnamon roll with an espresso. I was about to pay him the
Whether it was in the morning or late at nights. I drank soda constantly not really knowing what it can do to you. Drinking soda was one of the first things I drop from my diet losing ten pounds within 3 weeks of not drinking soda. During lunch my family tended to utilize a lot of oil presuming the food will taste more scrumptious. Before placing the tortillas on the pan we would always oil up slightly, so the tortilla wouldn't stick onto the pan, well that's what my mom told me as a kid. Later finding out it just made it more crispy rather than a plain heated tortilla. When it came down to eating, my family ate delicious food, but wasn't necessarily to healthy. Facing the consequences of not eating fast food was difficult because I was trying to steer away from all fast food restaurants possible such as Mcdonalds, Burger King, Dell Taco and my ex-favorite of them all on the Mcdonald menu on being the spicy
I had needed to groceries and decided to finally take her up on what she was saying was so amazing about this store. I needed to see for myself and have my own opinion about it. Before, I went inside the store I had to contemplate with myself that I was not going to pick up any items that were of those meets mentioned before. I took a deep breath and then resumed my chance to formalize my own opinion. The store was amazing as she had said which was great, but what was not great was that the prices of the meats that I was supposed to be abstaining from were lower than any store that I had shopped at. I was literally in heaven and had wanted to just grab everything and put it in my basket without any thought.
Since fast food first emerged in the United States it has become a large and successful industry, netting billions of dollars every year. This rapid expansion of fast food has put a fast food establishment within reach of almost every American. In Adam Chandler’s “What if Consumers Just Want to Buy Junk Food” he claims that although a majority of Americans believe they eat healthier today than in the 1970’s, but in fact studies show the very opposite. Chandler associates this to the consumers preference of unhealthy foods, but there is strong evidence that this rise in unhealthy consumption in American society can be attributed to the marketing and business tactics of fast food corporations, the availability and ease of access to fast food, and their socioeconomic status.
Then, something happened. It was near the end of my 11-hour shift on a Sunday. It was quite busy as it was a hot summer night. The line was almost to the outside of the door while there was only two of us working. A man and his son walked in. They stood there and stared at the menu for a while.
On this particular day, Anastasia had come home with some noodles and frozen vegetables, it was nothing fancy, but for any resident, it is quite the achievement to simply have the motivation to cook a meal rather than buy one! When I saw the grocery bags I was thrilled! We entered the kitchen together and talked about the meal she had in mind. Neither of us knew exactly what we were doing, but we figured two minds were better than one, so we started.
Wake up time at 6 a.m. and realized I would not be able to check Facebook, or get up to date on the daily dose of ridiculous videos that always ate up about an hour of my precious time. Began my day by calculating the cost of drinking coffee made from home, and found relief realizing it was only $0.06 per cup. I walked my older daughter to the bus stop then got ready for the morning without showering, with clean clothes that I prepared ahead of time. I carted my younger daughter off to her school, which I considered caregiving, and outside of the realm of travel, from which I headed to work. I work with young children where we model good eating habits in a family style dining setting, where we eat every three hours. This provided me
