...1 The traditional and contemporary food habits of African Americans compared with the typical American majority diet Introduction I have chosen to write on African American food habits because I believe their food tells a story of endurance and adaptability during hard times. I’ve heard the word ‘soul food’ bandied about without actually knowing what the essence of it was. I would like to see what it’s unique features are and to know more about the possible cultural, social and other factors that informed early food choices. There are 41.6 million African Americans which amounts to about 13 percent of the total population. Traditional Food Habits The basis of African American food is ‘soul food’, a term that relates to the ingredients and method of cooking (Airhihenbuwa, Kumanyika, Agurs, Lowe, Saunders, & Morssink, 1996). Traditional soul food was made up of unwanted food given to the slaves by their masters such as the discarded parts of animals, such as pigs’ feet, head, ears and intestines. They were not allowed to consume fresh meat at first. Frying of food and discarded meat without trimming it or removing the skin was a popular preparation method (Bovell-Benjamin, Dawkin, Pace, & Shikany, 2009). African Americans were not allowed to eat the best foods and meat. Later chicken became the essence of this diet. Fried chicken, fried cornbread and cracklings (fried pork skins) were popular and sweet potatoes too. There were lots of meals around fatbacks, beans and chitlins...

...Not many people know that over 15 animals have gone extinct and over 700 are struggling to stay alive all because of human repercussions. Climate change is real, and it is damaging many different aspects of the food chain. Some animals caught in this mess include; Snowshoe Hares, Polar Bears, and the Harlequin Frog species. During the winter, Snowshoe Hares turn white to blend in with the snow in hopes of hiding from predators. This works great until the effects of climate change kick in. When humans burn fossil fuels, they release various greenhouse gases, like carbon dioxide, which get trapped in Earth’s atmosphere because of the “greenhouse effect.” This warms up the Earth and melts the snow before the Snowshoe Hares have time to change...

...western countries. Is vegetarian diet really the healthiest way for health and beauty? The answer is no. Vegan/ vegetarian diet is harmful for human beings. It is obvious and scientific that the omnivores is better than vegetarian. As a meat lover, the complete negation of animal foods makes me unacceptable. Eating meat is necessary for the health of humans. The main reason for the vegetarian supporters that they think that just eating plant is enough to stable the body healthy and functioning. But the opposite is true. The vegetarian diet may cause the micronutrient deficiencies and inadequate protein intake. Humans are omnivorous, in our lifestyle, the several of beneficial micronutrient elements are essential. No matter what kind of micronutrient elements lose; it would lead a potential danger for health. Kris Gunnars who works in Authority Nutrition claimed, “Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) is the most active form of Omega-3 fatty acids and is mainly contained in animal foods. The plant form of Omega-3s, ALA, is inefficiently converted to DHA for health”(Gunnars). It means that the plants cannot provide all the nutrition for body. The vegans would lose many important micronutrient elements and nutrition. And whatever the vegetarian agree or not, the plant must needs one part of nutrients from the animals, like body or excrements. Humans are unable to support their function by eating vegetable. If the people insisted in a vegan diet for a long time, the body will suffer the many...

...would be men and women who are interested in knowing and understanding more about poverty, food stamps, etc. Who either are in poverty or are not, and with high school education and up. When it comes to poverty, I feel each year more and more families are in crisis and in need. However I also feel some people are getting government funding help who, in reality, do not need it. I am not saying everyone who is receiving help does not actually need it, but there are people out there who if they put in more effort, they wouldn’t have to depend on government assisted help nor would be struggling day to day. I have not been in a situation where I myself needed help, however I do know some people who are truly needed help and received yet, as well as others who honestly did not need the help but did not want to work hard. I am hoping my paper shows both the good and bad of today’s situation with people struggling, and hopefully some readers will have changed opinions on this whether it be good or bad. My Paper is written in APA format. Ending Poverty One Meal at a Time After reading the article “On the Edge of Poverty” by Sheryl Gay Stolberg[->0], it’s realized that it was written from a point of view that shows the many down falls of a situation where a SNAP card is needed yet doesn’t point much at improving it. In many ways it supports the food stamp system, or Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) as it is currently laid out. Stolberg starts off by phrasing...

...properly? The body is a complex machine which reacts to the environment it’s in and the nutrition it gets from the food we eat and the proper rest. Most of us really don’t test our bodies to its full capabilities, but the body is much more than we think. Proper nutrition and rest is essential to the maintenance of our body, for it to function properly, but with so much fix quick foods on the market and our increasingly difficult pace of life, it can be hard to get into and keep a healthy eating routine. Eating healthy does not mean giving up the foods we love to eat, it’s all about moderation, but once you get into eating healthy meals, making those foods we love to eat and fast food a treat will be easy, it’s all about being able to make the time to get that routine started. Being educated about the different foods we eat and how they affect our bodies when we overdo it is the key to making the right choices. There is the proper rest and nutrients our body need to maintain in order to keep it running smoothly for its entire lifespan. The human body is made up of a complex system of muscles, cells, and organ, all working together to keep the bod functioning and the more life becomes complicated, the more important it becomes to eat the right foods so the body can keep performing at its optimum best. In order for everything to do their job properly the body requires various nutrition from the foods we eat and proper rest. The body needs a good mixture of carbohydrates, protein and...
