When biting into a hot and juicy, “just-made” cheeseburger, what does the customer taste? Usually there will be a few recognizable flavors such as crisp lettuce, fresh tomato, grilled beef, melted cheese, all topped with a soft, sesame seed bun. Depending of the menu item, it may have crinkle-cut pickles, thin rings of onion, and a savory sauce of some kind. With the combo, the customer will receive golden brown French fries cooked to perfection in oil and dusted in salt and a drink such as lemonade, tea, soda, or a shake of some kind. Usually the customers initial reaction to this meal is “Mmmm”, the sound of a satisfying lunch or dinner. But what really goes into these products? The taste is not just lettuce or tomato, beef or cheese, pickles or onions, it is much more than that. A key factor in the success of the fast food industry is artificial flavoring and coloring. The main reason Schlosser includes this description, is to provide consumer awareness and reveal the real truths behind the making of fast food.…

Today, many Americans constantly worry about the effect of their eating habits on their weight and health. However, for much of the nineteenth century, most Americans were rarely concerned with the nutritional quality of their meals, and instead focused on eating as much as possible. According to Harvey Levenstein, author of Revolution at the Table: The Transformation of the American Diet, the inception of present-day eating habits has its roots in the “eating revolution,” which occurred between the 1880s and 1930s. At the turn of the twentieth century, the American middle class began to eat much more “economically and healthily,” than they had in the past. Levenstein attributes this change in food habits to both economic and social factors,…

It is often said that, “You are what you eat,” food is an essential provision that cannot be taken for granted. The access for food is crucial and the food people put in their body is significant. Food determines various aspect of the human body such as, body shape, production of energy and ultimately overall health. The American lifestyle is based on time, speed and efficiency; therefore the American people tend to be oblivious on what they put inside their body. Society in America, particularly poor people, are forced to live in an environment where food leads to obesity or health problems, and the rich gain more access on fresh, healthy diet with low fat and salt. American’s perspective on time has dramatically transformed the way they eat and how they eat food. Instead of viewing food as a substance to be delight in, the appreciation for food has deteriorated, in other words, food has become a “means” to an end. Food is the ultimate hot-button issue because everyone eats it and no one wants to feel guilty about what they’re eating. Food can be as sensitive a subject as religion or politics. Ultimately, as the passion and eagerness for food in America increases, it becomes difficult to bridge the gap of feeding America with healthy nutritious diet.…
