homework 1

there is a lot you can say about food. food is very delicious, it is something we need in order to stay alive. food is a drug and something that can be easily addicted to. to me i think that food is very tasty and lucky that we have the luxery to eat everythnig and anything that we want and we dont have to worry about running out or not having the next day or two hours from now. however in some other countries, food is very sacred and is treasured more because they dont have as much or they dont get to eat everyday. other countries really have to work for their food but in the end is only but a handful of something. so some coutries look down on the US because we take everything for granted and we could just throw food away like its nothing.
i use to throw food away like its nothing becaue i wouldnt like it or if i was full i would just put the rest in the trash instead of putting it in the fridge for tomorrow. and i would always get yelled at by my mother because i was bein inconsiderate. but now i dont throw as much food away as i use to. i do eat a lot more but thats about it. i eat all my meals plus inbetween some of them when im bored. my meals are not always healthy. they are usually greasy and fatty and from mcdonalds.
a typical meal would be a starch like pasta or rice with some kind of meat like chicken or pork shoulder and then a veggie like corn or string beans. but not everybody eats like that. people always go for what they are craving. usually something from the outside at fast food places. if we were placed in a country where food doesnt come as easy or we would have to learn to eat what we have instead of having options then we would view food very differently. we wouldnt just throw it away instead of saving it and we wouldnt be that much picky. what would happen if we were to live like another country?..or in a past century?
