    Mindless Eating

    Review I basically agree with what Wansink has to say about why people sometimes overeat unknowingly. This book itself is called Mindless Eating simply because sometimes we are unaware of what actually prompt us to eat what we eat and at what quantities. What is good about this book is that it does not sell unrealistic approach on how to lose weight‚ but instead shows us that it is the power of human brain which ultimately leads us to eat more or less. All those carbs‚ fat grams‚ and calories

    • 3 Pages

    The poem “Lament”‚ written by Gillian Clarke‚ is an elegy‚ an expression of grief that appeals to the reader for them to react to human mistakes which are damaging our planet.

The rhyme is quick due to the constant repetition of the word ‘for’ in the beginning of each stanza. The sentences in the poem lack of subject‚ so we can consider that these are written

What Abby seems to fail to understand is that everyone has a say and to be illiterate is completely useless. In order to make a difference you must speak your mind (wisely) as she did when she was arguing about the issue‚ once you are heard people seem to either follow you or keep their distance‚ either way though you got their attention.

    • 2 Pages

    The mindless eating strategy is an interesting concept. I do believe adapting to this mental approach would help control my weight. I feel I do a significant amount of mindless eating. Sometimes I eat food for no other reason than it just being there. I eat when I am stressed‚ lonely‚ or bored. I do believe becoming more aware of my eating habits would greatly help me control my weight. In a summary I found of Wansink’s Mindless Eating done by the Gettysburg College (2012)‚ it is suggested to go
