Hw 1


Food is the ultimate emotional controller device in humans; it can make us happy, sad, mad and many more emotions just by tasting or seeing it. What we eat is a big part of how we act. All people eat food for a different reason weather its to get skinny or to bulk up or just for the love of eating but everybody eats.

My priorities for food have change a lot threw out my few years realizing what I eat. I used to not care what or how much I ate as long as it was good, but I ended up a heavy kid. Then I stopped eating with my best friend. We would not eat breakfast, get a small lunch if any, eat a medium dinner and NO snacks all because I wanted to be skinny. But that also changed after I was skinny, I wanted to bulk up. I still eat to bulk up so I eat a lot of protein, which is my priority when I eat food now. I hold off on the junk food, only eat three good meals of day full of protein, and drink no soda. I know that my priorities now are much better than they were in my past but they do not fill my love and joy for sweets.

My typical meal, which is, fish or eggs or chicken and always milk and salad on the side are good but I would love to just eat what I want. Like eating penne al a vodka or chicken potpies other good delish food but all really good foods are fattening. They have a lot of calories for a little amounts of food. I know I’m 16 and I should not be this worries about what I eat but image matters and I want a strong health body. I don’t mind my typical meals they are really good. And I do treat my self; I don’t live by these foods as laws. I eat sweets and pig out on a weekend but I always come back to my strong protein diet. Every night I have my special treat, an ice cream sandwich I can only get at a certain store and I’m in heaven.

Food is the internal struggle for humans in the modern era because of the way eating makes you look.

  1. Evan,

    Enjoyed the tension in your essay between trying to be responsible about what you eat (and your various ways of seeing that over the years) and your lust for particular "unhealthy" foods.

    How could you have taken this deeper?

    Needs an additional proofread - I know this might not be an area of strength for you, and you seem to have caught most errors, but more than a handful remain. Can you find a friend or family member to help?
