Fourth blog post

During my research I have noticed that if I read the post’s that I have posted earlier in the semester I could get a better Idea on what to focus on and what would be an interesting topic to write about because eating from fast food restaurants is something that every person does at least once a week and I think that there are tons of books that provide plenty of information about fast food generally and it depends on the writers ability to gather all that information and mention it in one research paper.  

 Surprisingly I seem to like the idea of blog posts because the information I read from the topic I am doing my research on is beginning to pile up and it doesn’t make the idea of writing a research paper so frustrating because all of the information you need is already there and it’s up to you to find the extra information that might interest the readers and sum up your paper.

The question that always ran through my head was “why is it so cheap”?  I think that I have found the answer for that question that has been running through my head for a while.  The amount of information I found about my topic was shocking and it made me realize that your paper can contain as many information as you want it too and it isn’t that hard to find the information you need because it is just a click away on Google or a couple of steps away in the library.

After reading about fast food my mind has changed about it and I rarely want to eat from any fast food restaurant again unless it is necessary and I am hoping the fast food industry starts improving their products and start telling people the truth behind how cheap it is. I am glad I chose this topic for my research and I am hoping I can take this research paper down.

Third blog post

In this research I will be talking mainly about all kinds of fast food so I think my audience would mostly represent college students and teenagers because they tend to eat fast food more and I would like to mention some facts that they might not be aware of.

I think my topic is timely enough because it is a subject that interests all fast food eaters and I think that the information that I have gained from this research is a good topic to talk about.

I chose this topic because of the past problems I have been having from eating fast food and unfortunately I did not come to realize that fast food was the problem until I stopped eating it. Since I have stopped eating fast food I have not had any stomach pain at all and I am healthier than can be thankfully and that is why I think I am interested in knowing more about the fast food industry.

In my opinion I think that this assignment was assigned for the students to get them thinking of the issues that interest them and give them a start on an easy assignment where the students can get used to individual writing and get them ready for the bigger assignment where the topics might not be as easy or in the field that might interest the student.

I think there are many viewpoints in my topic because most people only care about the taste of food and I can reply to them by mentioning what kind of ingredients are in the food that they might think tastes good and I could also mention how these ingredients can affect the human body.

The most interesting fact I have found during my research is that the United States spends more money on fast food then they do on higher education and I think that might change if the fast food industry would advertise their ingredients rather than just a flaming cheese burger with an attractive girl in the back ground. From researching I’ve learned that you can find any information you want if you just look for it.

Second blog post

The most interesting source I have found is a book by Eric Schlosser by the name of “The Dark side of the All-American Meal”. I found the source to be interesting because I have always wondered how fast food is made and if it is really bad for us or why our parents always wanted us to stay away from it. I haven’t had time to read the whole book but from what I have understood the book explains the details about the fast food restaurant industry and its food and how it is really made and it talks about the amount of money that is wasted on it when it is really not worth it in my opinion. When I started reading this book online it attracted me immediately because it was mentioning facts about how much money is spent on the fast food industry, the numbers were shocking and it made me settle on thinking about the title of my assignment.

During my research I realized that it would be more interesting if I talked about fast food facts and to focus on trying to keep people away from fast food restaurants and I will be looking for other sources that I could find that would help me find healthier food that I could grab right off the shelf and that I could replace with and I would also be helping myself on keeping a healthier diet and I would get personal advantage from completing this assignment. At the beginning of the assignment I placed the title as ”Eat Healthy to Stay Healthy” but I think I would like to change it to “I Wonder Why it’s so Cheap” because that is a question I’ve always asked myself.

The only challenge I think I will be facing is that I am not a fast reader and I think that most of the sources I am going to find will be long sources and it might take a while to read the chapters I am going to be researching about. I think that if I start looking for shorter articles and start checking out some magazines then I would make this assignment easier to deal with and the only advice I would give to my peers is get your read on!

1st blog post - English 1102

My Research is going to be about how eating healthy food rather then eating fast food can help keep you healthy and how fruits and vegetables provide with much energy to keep your day going. I settled on this topic because I have had past experiences with food poisoning from fast food restaurants and have been to the hospital several times for that kind of issue and i would like to make this research a way for me to find more healthy food to replace with all the food a lot of people have been wasting their money on. From thinking about this topic i have learned that many of the fast food restaurants that people have breakfast, lunch and sometimes dinner at most likely have the worst ways of making their food. In this research I will be trying to find out how fast food restaurants  prepare their food and I am guessing that I will find out some shocking information and i hope that this will give me the motivation to learn how to cook meals the way i like it. I think that i could find some particular restaurants that have a clean system and that provide eatable food and that might change my mind about some restaurants. The point i will be trying to make is that i would like if all of the fast food restaurants would improve the quality of their food to improve the health of our society.
