The Healthy Fire House Cookbook Summary
I chose to review The Healthy Firehouse Cookbook by Joseph T. Bonanno, Jr. since the book itself is a memento left to my mother and me by my stepfather, he was a firefighter in Jersey City who one night passed away in his sleep unexpectedly. The style and culture of the healthy, appetizing cuisine found within the writing can be described as nothing short of diverse. There is so much to offer, and all of it can be located easily because every section is labeled for your convenience as the reader. The objective of this cookbook is to educate and inform you about eating healthy, the author intending to spread the knowledge he learned from other firefighters through his writing.
Each recipe is simple to follow, and nearly all are no longer than

    Deepak Chopra once said, “The masculine energy was about survival. The male was the hunter who risked his life and had to be in the fight-flight mode.” When pertaining to survival, the main character in “To Build a Fire” by Jack London failed to follow three main steps in Laurence Gonzales’ nonfiction trade book, “Deep Survival.” The main character failed to stay calm, to think, analyze, and plan, and to never give up during his trek through the pure, untrampled white snow.…

    To achieve financial success in society has forced people to lose sight of family value and morality. Capitalism, the idea to work more to become more financially successful has had a negative affect on family and personal lives. People strive to spend more hours in the work place as opposed to spending quality time with their family. “From the Frying Pan into the Fire” by Arlie Hochschild she emphasizes the change in family values that is due to the pressure of being apart of a capitalist society. Gregory Orr in his personal narrative “Return to Hayneville” retells his account of how he managed to survive being held captive and violently punished during his time in the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) during the Civil Rights Movement.

    I reexamined the foods i've been consuming and became astounded. Looking at something as classic as bread, a food that used to contain only a few ingredients, now contains dozens. The effects of the industrialization are all around us, especially in our food. I was unaware that products that make health claims aren't exactly healthy and was surprised to find all of the tricks and loopholes the FDA allows. The rules regarding wording are ambiguous, thus making the health claims on foods almost frivolous. This book examined the diet fads of the past in America such as when margarine was considered to be healthier than butter. I’ve learned that we come up with a new diet plan and find “stunning” data that will better our health all the time, but our health has yet to make a drastic improvement. While we continue to consume the Western Diet, we look for ways to outsmart it rather than do the obvious thing and move away from it. Ultimately, I came away from the book with far more knowledge then when I entered. The book offered great incite into the food industry and how it all works. I am glad I read this book and will definitely implement some lessons into my life.…

    Arthur Schopenhauer once said, “Mostly it is loss which teaches us about the worth of things.” All of the characters in the stories learn the significance of what the things they once had. One similar theme that runs throughout those three works, “To Build a Fire” by Jack London, “The Fish” by Elizabeth Bishop, and “The Story of an Hour” by Kate Chopin is the loss of something significant. Each story or poem has a different way of ending peacefully and handling the loss.…

    Most students today finish their education without learning how to cook ten simple meals. This depressing statistic is one of the major causes for obesity; if people do not know how to cook a healthy meal, they are much more likely to choose fast food over a healthy alternative. “In the United States, spending on fast food now totals $110 billion annually, having increased 18-fold since 1970. The number of fast food outlets, often started with government subsides, has doubled from 1 per 2,000 residents to 1 in 1,000 since 1980.” Now more than ever it is important to learn to cook, with all of the temptation of fast food it is a lot easier to go down the street to a local McDonalds than prepare a meal. However, if people do not learn how to cook they are destined to contact one of the 30 diet related diseases. The simplest way to fight obesity…
