When it comes food, i eat it a lot. Coming from a hispanic family, food is very important and it is what makes us come together as one. In an hispanic background especially or even any culture food is one of those aspect that is a big deal. Even like thinking about thankgiving. Thanksgiving equals food which equals love in which we all want in life typically.I feel like if i did not have food half the time of the day, i am unhappy. I think that food is an necessity to our lives not just because we need it to survive but to comfort us also. As we discussed in class, "food and love is the kind of thing we strive and want in our lives besides money." Food fills in that emptiness in our tummys and love fills that emptiness in our hearts and in order to get that to be "full" we eat or we find someone who is compatible to ourselves to make us happy.
In my opinion, food is sacred. I think that it is sacred because i feel like it is a drive that keeps us going in life epecially myself. I found a quote that i would agree with "One of the very nicest things about life is the way we must regularly stop whatever it is we are doing and devote our attention to eating", i feel like for most people this is true unless you are a person who is afraid of food. Most people in the world if they are hungry or anything would stop anything they are doing to eat food to satify their need.
When it comes to food my priority is to eat everything as soon possible and get "stuffed". I like to have the feeling that i am about to explode from all the food that i just ate. It kind of makes me feel good but then after a while i feel fat and do the whole routine all over again. My typical meals can fail to meet my desire depending on my emotions. As Ally stated " Some people do based they're choice in food on emotions, one person may feel sad one day a crave ice cream or chocolate", I feel like this is true. I know there has been times when i have been down and food has been able to comfort in that spare time even though sometimes i do not think it is good for me.

ReplyDeleteBest parts were lines like, "Thanksgiving equals food which equals love".
Least effective were the overly informal (and not-college-ready-sounding) bits like, "Even like thinking about thankgiving."
This would have been a good 1st draft. It could have been deepened and edited into the sort of essay you should be publishing in your senior year.
