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

    Wendell Berry, the author of “The Pleasures of Eating”, claims that we, as a society, should know and care where our food actually comes from, to be able to realize that the food that reaches our tables has been through a ride that we may not necessarily like. He also encourages us to grow our own food and to buy our produce and fruits from a farmer’s market. I agree with the point that Berry is trying to get across. Making our own produce, fruits, meats, dairy, etc. is better because not only will we eat healthier and not be dependent on importing products but we will actually know what we are consuming. Sure making our own food is hard and it does take time, but there is no doubt that making it is better than faking it.…

Luck good and bad can play an unexpected role in fieldwork.…

Wansinks main focus is on how cues influence each of the multitude of food decisions that we make each day. Cheeseburger, fries, and Coke, or grilled chicken, rice and veggies? Strawberries and yogurt, or pie and ice cream for desert? Munch on a snack while lounging in front of the television, or sip a bottle of water? As stated in the title "Mindless" Eating the cues that influence and direct these decisions are unconscious.…

    She describes her food in so much detail that it paints a picture in your head and the reader can basically taste it while they read. Reichl says: “I picked up one of the crabs with the tips of my chopsticks. They had been deep-fried, and they crunched and crackled in my mouth like some extraordinary popcorn of the sea. When the noise stopped, my mouth was filled with the faint sweet richness of crabmeat, lingering like some fabulously sensual echo”. (Reichl 75). She uses almost all of the five senses every time she describes her food. Reichl describes the food down to the ingredients. “The duck webs were all texture, gelatinous and so soft that the bones dropped from them when you put them in your mouth and all you tasted was mushrooms, soy sauce, ginger, anise, and wine reverberating down to your toes. At the end we had dog hearts—the deep yellow tarts made of lard and filled with sweetened egg yolks…”(Reichl 190).…

    According to my section of the novel, Personal, the universal topic does not coincide with every young American’s existence. The universal topic in the section Personal is how to hunt and kill for your own food and how to find the right fruits and fungi to eat in the wilderness. Most young americans don’t have to worry about any of this. Almost every piece of food is essentially handed to them. Hunting is a game to some of us, not a lifestyle or a necessity for life. The overall universal topic is how Omnivore’s obviously have a dilemma when it comes to choosing their own foods. Most young Americans can easily identify what kind of food they want for lunch or breakfast and sometimes they don’t even have a choice. For this reason, I disagree with with the statement that young Americans have trouble finding what they want to eat.…

    Over the years Americans have become passive consumers. The majority of our population consumes food without knowing what it contains or how the food is prepared prior to its distribution to the American people. The various selections we have in grocery stores, such as the availability of fruits and vegetables that were once unattainable year round, amaze many people, but what they do not know is that in order for this to be possible, products are genetically modified. Besides GMO’s, many products such as fruits and vegetables, which are said to be healthy, contain ingredients that are harmful to our bodies and farmers neglect animals until they are killed and used for food. Americans are ignorant and have allowed corporate America to give its people unhealthy, harmful food that will slowly kill those who consume it, therefore making America the sickest country in the world.…

    The locavore movement has taken the world by storm recently. Everyone is obsessed with the craze to eat healthy, and to keep up with the nutritious, local food fad.

While it’s not necessary for a community to be a part of the locavore movement for all these things to occur, it’s a great catalyst for faster improvements to these aspects.…

    My mom was sitting to the left of me and my dad was sitting next to her. “Hey Ba, have you ever tried dog or do people over in Vietnam eat dog?” I was expecting a straight “no” but my dad just laughed it off and brushed off my question. I was confused. Why do people always ask me this question? Can you imagine eating your own pet? Actually, let’s not think about that. I slowly became curious on how my cousins looked. I actually never met any of my family members before and I am curious on how they will react on Americans visiting them. You might wonder why I had all these weird thoughts but I was just a 10-year old girl. A bunch of things ran through my mind but I’ll stop it at there. We finally landed at the Tan Son Nhat International Airport. I don’t recall much on how it looked but it definitely wasn’t as nice looking as LAX. I anxiously followed my parents and helped grabbed the luggage. I felt drips of sweat running down my face and I began to feel sticky. The weather over here is bizarre. It was humid, gloomy, and rain started pouring out of nowhere. It was not the type of rain where you would want to run in. Suddenly, I hear a bunch of yelling. “HEY! HERE! HERE!” I didn’t quite understand what was going on because there were multiple of voices. Soon, I see a middle-aged man with glasses, wearing a white wrinkly dress shirt, only half of his buttons was buttoned, and some khaki colored shorts. He greeted my parents and then greeted my siblings and I. Who is this odd man and why was he smiling at us like he knows us? Yup, it was one of my uncles. You know in romantic movies, in every airport scene, there’s always that one person or a group of people holding a cute sign with your name on it? I was expecting to have one of those because I didn’t know what to expect and this was my first time at an airport. Wouldn’t that be cool though? But, of course it didn’t happen and I was a little disappointed.…
