Team number three, consisting of Trenton Peters, Brett Halleen, Thomas Monroe, and Grant Dahlgren are building an edible car named “Meals on Wheels.” The problem statement that we are trying to solve is “Build a car that meets all criteria for the edible car challenge, and preforms to the best performance we can make it.” To start off, our vehicle was composed of cheese wheels, pretzel axles and a graham cracker body, with an apple slice in the front to add the element of there being a cockpit in the front of the vehicle, and marshmallow was used to hold all of the pieces together. However, the vehicles performance was less than expected, and didn’t do well on the scale Appendix A.2 of the text book, receiving an estimated 28pts out of 50pts.…
It seems that obesity will always be a problem with no solution. For once it would be merely impossible to find a solution that everyone likes or even one that the majority will support. There are different points of view in which someone could try to figure something out to at least help with the matter of obesity. ABC News is trying to tackle the problem and inform people on obesity by having a summit with Time magazine and discuss on various ways that would lower obesity in this country. Radley Balko mainly discusses the government point of view in his essay “What You Eat Is Your Business.” I agree with Balko’s essay since government needs to visualize the situation from different directions.…
Meal on Wheels delivered meals to Seniors in their homes. It first started in the United Kingdom in during the Blitz for those who lost their homes and the ability to cook their own food along with them. It went national in the United States in 1974 and goes by name Meal on Wheels America which is the largest and oldest national organization there is.

In the reading “What You Eat Is Your Business” Radley Balko states “For decades now, America’s Healthcare system has been migrating toward socialism. Your well-being, shape, and condition have increasingly been deemed matters of “public health,” instead of matters of personal responsibility.” (467) which shows this writer’s view that it is a problem of discipline and a person’s own personal choice to be unhealthy. “That means freeing insurance companies to reward healthy lifestyles, and penalize poor ones. It means halting plans to further socialize medicine and health care. Congress should also increase access to medical and health savings accounts, which give consumers the option of rolling money reserved for health care into a retirement account.” (468-469) This would also indicate he wants the government to reward the good choices and healthy lifestyles of those who kept to a reasonable diet, further supporting his argument of personal responsibility in the matter.…
Dr. Will Elechin’s book Happy without the Meal is books about our generation’s constant need to be connected to technology. In today’s society he notes, the standard of living for the average person in the United States is equal to the top five percent of the wealthiest people about lived only 80 years ago. Modern conveniences, while useful and beneficial to society, have become needs rather than luxuries, and when abused and overused, become addictions or what he refers to as “attachment.” Think about it, everything from transportation to cell phones and computers and food is more readily available than ever before. These modern advances have grave consequences when used too much. Obesity, depression and anxiety levels are at their highest.…
This Friday evening I am hosting a dinner party at my house. There will not be a long list of people attending this dinner party, only three people that I am interested in learning more about, and getting to know personally. The three people that will be attending this dinner party are Elie Wiesel, Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King, Jr. Since these are all very different and historical people, there are several reasons as to why I am having them attend my dinner party.…
In “What You Eat is Your Business” by Radley Balko, emphasizing that our fight for obesity is going about the wrong way. He insists “Our government ought to be working to foster a sense of responsibility in and ownership of our own health and wellbeing.” In making this comment Balko urges us to begin to take responsibility for our own actions for being obese, the government is not to blame but ourselves. To further support this claim Balko begins to use our healthcare system and laws passed as examples of how individuals are not taking responsibility. “ States are preventing private health insures from charging overweight and obese clients higher premiums, which effectively removes any financial incentive for maintaining a healthy lifestyle.”…

In the nonfiction text, Chew on This: Everything You Don’t Want to Know About Fast Food, Eric Schlosser, the author, explains the effects of fast food restaurants on the small town of Martinsburg, West Virginia. Surprisingly, some effects were good, but others were not so good. The new fast food restaurants made Martinsburg turn from a quiet town, into a large, busy town. Though fast food restaurants provide a lot of jobs, it does not pay much. Fast food restaurants often mistreat their animals, but they do use real meat, sometimes. McNuggets from McDonald’s are approximately 50% real meat, and 50% fats, preservatives, sugar, sodium, and carbohydrates, but fast food products are starting to get healthier. These arguments show the upsides and…
Growing up in twenty-first century America I have always eaten the way I'm “supposed” to; I never gave it a second thought. My culture has almost given me tunnel vision, letting me focus only on what I know as acceptable or natural. This topic opens my mind to what else I might be blinded to. I have never explored what other cultures grow accustomed to like religion, style, relationships, family dynamics or even school. I have always considered myself incredibly fortunate for the life I live, and therefore I never examined the varying cultural aspects of differing nations or people groups. As far as the message of society erasing the intimacy of our meals to ourselves, I can absolutely sympathize with the author’s thoughts. In retrospect, the singular thing that could most certainly bring my family together was the warm meal that awaited us. The physicality of sharing a meal together provided each of us the opportunities to engage, with every member of my family, our singular…
Luckily, I only needed one proposal before my claim was approved. However, it did take quite a while due to thinking and rethinking the claim over in order to be certain that the proposal I wanted was the one which I really cared to presented. My claim, that students should not have an open campus lunch, was challenging to work with while making a visual. I knew how I wanted to display my message, but many times it wasn't giving off the vibe which I was hoping for. Personally, the proposal for me was the easiest part, I knew exactly the argument I wanted to make, and found it easy to put that into words. On the other hand, the visual portion of the essay was the most stressful. Most of my time was spent online trying to find the perfect pictures. Everyone says that the internet has so much stuff on it, just not the ‘stuff’ I needed to form my visual. My essay was backed by mostly facts and statistics. Through research I found it difficult to come up with statistics already on open lunch, so I was forced to be creative with how I pieced my puzzle together.…
In Asian countries, eating all the food on your plate is a sign of disrespect host. The host thinks that they didn’t feed you enough. Napier-Fitzpatrick says, “They’ll keep refilling it, and if they run out, they’ll be upset that they didn’t have enough food for you.”…
Extended family is a traditional family structure, where has more than 2 generations living together, or we usually call it "Big family".
