Personal Narrative: My Experience With Taste Aversion
1) My experience with taste aversion occurred when I went to EFSC to get my AA. I ate coleslaw and grapes prior to a night class and later on during the class I had an extremely bad migraine to the point where I could barely pay attention to what my professor was saying which led to me vomiting in the restroom. I didn’t have coleslaw ever since.
UCS -> UCR....UCS/CS ->UCR/CR....CS -> CR
Headache and Vomit -> ill… headache and vomit/coleslaw -> ill/ill… coleslaw -> ill.
Based on classical conditioning, I paired coleslaw with the feeling of illness and that’s why I’ve never wanted it ever since. Even though the coleslaw wasn’t why I threw up I still relate the two together. My taste aversion is based on one-trial learning since it only took

    Summary Of The Revolted Taste Of Dog Food By Ann Hodgman

    In this essay, Ann Hodgman was very descriptive on the revolted taste of dog food as well as the vividly unpleasant details of its unusual texture. Hogman gave me some sort of understanding of the texture of dog food, when she compared Gainers burgers to play doh and unexpectedly she made little cheese birds out of dog food, which I'm assuming the patty was grainy, smooth, and lumpy. When she explained the horrifying taste of cheddar, a very strong taste of week old cheddar in my tough , along with the feeling of play doh in my mouth, it turned my stomach, and the feeling that something like a burning sensations building up in my throat. I was very disgusted at the abnormally, when the patty was not evening cooking like a ordinary burger, which…

    Personal Narrative: Inside The Kitchen

    As a Chinese-American, my family expected me to help out at the restaurant while maintaining straight A's in school. But, it wasn't easy; every day, I would report to the restaurant after school and immediately start working. Inside the kitchen, I would pack all the orders into aluminum containers, place them into a brown bag, and insert packets of sauces and utensils. Burns and cuts were common due to the terrible and tearable aluminum containers. Outside at the front desk, I would answer the seemingly endless ringing phones. In many instances, customers had to wait either on the phone or at the front desk for me to find their orders on the computer, even after they showed me where it was on the menu. During lunch hours, the pressure was even…

    Personal Narrative: In Defense Of Food

    In Defense of Food was quite shocking at first. In all honesty, it made me think I was going to die within the next week due to a heart attack triggered by all the junk I eat. Considering I myself indulge in processed cookies from the aisles of Stop and Shop, and steak tips that have been marinating in salt for two days, the film hit close to home. But in all honesty, I don’t eat that bad; in comparison to the Seventh-Day Adventists I do, but I think I’m doing alright.…

    Personal Narrative: The Taste Of Meat

    The first perspective is of a carnivore’s. The taste of meat is one of many things in life that you can’t just recreate and expect it to have the same taste as the original. It has a unique taste and texture that only the mastication of flesh in between your teeth can satisfy. The tenderness, juiciness, and taste is what leaves people wanting more. Speaking from my past love for meat those were all the reasons I was head over heels in love with it. Although after I learned what these poor creatures have to endure for me enjoy such a delicacy I became a vegetarian. Some meat eaters know about what goes on in factory farms and how their food is processed but they continue to enjoy their consumption of meat. Although it is a good source of protein…

    Locavores are members of a community who eat locally grown products as much as they possibly can. They are people who believe in nutrition with an eye for sustainability. The movement has spread throughout the United States and at first glance appears to be a great, eco-friendly idea. Although after further reviewing, there seems to be more than meets the eye. There are several groups who oppose the idea of locavorism, and others who believe that it is a lifestyle that should be adopted by the entire United States. In the end, it all comes down to personal opinion.…

    The younger me loved to be active and constantly moving around but as i grew up I started to enjoy times that were quiet as well.

    Personal Narrative: Chocolate Chip Cookies

    Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 says, “Two are better than one…If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up!.” Chocolate chip cookies rank third most popular dessert in the USA. In order to enjoy the classic dessert, the baker will need both chocolate chips and cookie dough. Without chocolate chips, I would refer to the dessert as a simple cookie instead of a chocolate chip cookie; in the same way, without the cookie dough, I cannot refer to the chocolate chips as a chocolate chip cookie. Oddly enough, true friendships relate to chocolate chip cookies. Similar to how the chocolate chips and the cookie dough depend on each other to make a classic dessert, people count on each other as well. A close…
