Fast Food vs Healthy food

 

This week it's the midterm, and we had to do a comparison between fast food and healthy food. By using a Venn diagram and a subject by subject method, this is the result:


Where do you draw the line between convenient and healthy?

  Most busy and hungry people don’t actually pay attention to what they eat as long as they fill their stomachs. However, not minding what they put into their bodies can later represent a high risk to their health and well being. The diet a person has can either lead to life full of long healthy years or a path of self destruction and poor health. Everyone is responsible for their own choices, and it’s never too late to make a change for the sake of your body.


It appears that society has chosen a lifestyle full of shortcuts and things that are faster and easier, when you carry a lifestyle where you don’t have enough time to do anything, you tend to go for the easier option when it comes to food. Fast food may seem convenient because you can find it almost anywhere at any time, especially when you don’t make time to prepare your own meals. However, this food choice comes with consequences, too much of this increases the cholesterol in your blood, it makes your body gain weight at a fast rate and increases the risk of early heart problems and type 2 diabetes.


If you manage your time wisely you can turn this around before facing serious health problems. Home cooking has more benefits than what you imagine, when you’re the one making the meals at home, you can eat fresh, it’s healthier, you’re in total control of the calorie intake, the amount of salts, oil, fat and the type of ingredients used in those dishes. The only disadvantage is that you do need to be consistent during the process because it is time consuming since you need to buy the ingredients, prepare the meal and fit all this on your everyday schedule.


There’s nothing wrong with enjoying food at its best, fried, salty, sweet, spicy. It doesn't have much of a negative impact as long as we learn where to draw healthy boundaries. That’s exactly the reason why every medical expert always advises to mind what you eat and try to eat as healthy as possible. It’s more beneficial for your body to eat more home cooked meals on your everyday menu, rather than sticking to a diet full of fast food with the excuse of lack of available time for much healthier options.

Subject-by-subject vs Point-by-point

  Subject-by-subject vs Point-by-point This week we learned about other methods of writing. With both methods, we take two ideas and where we compare or describe them like last weeks methods, but the development of the topics throughout the text is slightly different. With a subject-by-subject structure we take topic A and topic B, we produce our introduction and the first pargraph is in charge of focusing on topic A, once the points are made we moved on to the next paragraph that will focus only in topic B, until we get to the conlusion. On Point-by-point, we take topic A and topic B, we produce the introduction, then the first pargraph will have topic A and B together making a point but it will focus in idea 1, after we finish that point we move on to the next paragraph and with topic A and B to make another point or more under idea 2. It might feel confusing at first but practice makes perfect, and that's how I wrote this two texts: Does freedom come with a price tag? ...

  Final Words During this semester I have learned how to make multiple essays, by using different outline methods and multiple approaches in the development of the ideas. I'm certain that I still have a lot to learn and a lot to practice when it comes to the initial stages of a writing process, however I'm now in the right path, with methods like the Venn Diagram, the clustering method, etc. When it comes to the actual composition, methods like subject by subject or Essays using cause and effect methods are for far my favorites. The constant feedback that I received from my professor has been constructive and clear. I have learned to organize my ideas' through a pre-writing process followed by a drafting process that allows me to correct or add more to my main ideas.
