...I chose for my observation subject a California strawberry. The strawberries were already in my refrigerator just waiting to be made part of my morning smoothie. I chose to sacrifice this fruit because of the observation potential I thought it might have. The size, shape, color, flavor, and other appealing characteristics made me think that it would be a good subject that could keep my interest. I know that I need to slow down enough to be able to observe fully so I wanted something that could capture and hopefully keep my attention. I took two strawberries out of the 1lb. package and placed them on a small square cutting board on the dining room table. I took two berries because I had already put some thought into the observation process I wanted to follow and this would allow me to cut open each strawberry in a different direction. I also had other supplies I thought I would need; a small knife, my paper, and pencil and a stop watch for keeping track of time. First I held the strawberry; it was about 1 ¼” tall and ¾” at its widest and it was cold from being in the refrigerator. The shape of the berry is much like that of a heart, not the human organ but the one you would draw to show love. It was wider at the top and tapered down to a rounded bottom. It was red in color but with various tones of red, not a solid one color red. The outer skin was a rubber–like consistency; there was some resistance when I rubbed my fingers all around it. The skin was indented with...

...This painting is called “Café Terrace at Night” by Vincent Van Gogh. It was created at 1888. This painting has the primary colors of blue, green, and a tiny bit of red. It also has a secondary color of yellow. The painting depicts the analogous colors of blue and yellow. The color temperature in this painting is cool and chill, but at the same time it is warm and cozy. The complementary colors of yellow contrasts with the complementary colors of blue and green. The contrast draws the attention to the focal point which is the café. There are a lot of vertical lines to show the stability of night. There are other buildings in the painting, but the audience’s eyes go toward the café. There are people sitting in the café eating, drinking, and conversing. There are also people in the streets wearing clothes with festive colors. The yellowish white stars in the night sky illuminate the ground. The pavement is reflecting the light of the starry sky and the café. The pavement also has a pattern going on. The light and dark values draw you to the focal point of the Café. I believe this painting has compositional unity, because the elements and principles are organized. The colors of harmonizing blue and the cozy café fits together perfectly. There is nothing out of place in this paining. In my opinion, the tranquil colors of blue of the night sky depict the calmness in the painting. For me, the café is the emphasis in this painting. The painting is mostly in dark and cold colors, but...

...EATING HABITS Why do people eat? People eat to survive. Food people eat gives their bodies the energy they need to function. Eating, as a daily activity, is done so many times that could form some eating habits. People say that the current eating habits of a person reflect all of his childhood’s comestible way. Eating habits are a part of a person’s characteristics and an unchanged process over the time. However, I think this concept is not applicable in my case. In my childhood, I always took away any green leaves in my bowl and recognized them as the horrible ingredients. I also ignored the spicy meals which burned my tongue and the tasteless frozen food as all kids did. However, over the time I definitely changed my edible pattern from a child with appreciating vegetables, enjoying spicy taste, and adapting frozen meals. First, my eating habits have been changed from a leafless eater to a green vegetable fan. When I was young, my mom always cooked Pho for me and my father in two separated way. For my dad, my mom made him a large bowl of Vietnamese style beef noodle with all the herb ingredients and fresh vegetable. For me and my little brother, my mom made others bowls without any vegetable element. I recalled she served me the unique Pho with only thick noodle, sliced chicken meat and hot brown soup. My grandma always kept complaining to her about my unhealthy carnivorous diet, but my mom couldn’t tolerate her children eat food they disliked. For such a long time until...

...Bugs: The new super food! Eating gourmet insects can save the planet By Alexander Ørum November 23, 2011, Sunday Times A global solution: Global warming is a worldwide threat to us all, and one of the biggest reasons that it has come this far is the way we eat. Farming dairy and the whole agricultural environment is actually one of the main reasons that we produce all this green house gases. The animals are the cause of this problem, and it also produces a lot of Co2 by feeding and slaughtering them. The world’s population is set to rise above seven billion, and we need a new food source to keep on going. We now have a solution; Bugs! Many people see this as a potential substitute for meat and to the future food shortages. To take a historical view on this, humans actually ate insects before we were able to create tools to hunt animals. It is a bit funny when you think of it, that we now have to go back to the way we lived thousands of years ago because of the way we are destroying our own planet through meat. Nutrition: It can be a problem to get people to eat it; actually we are very conservative when it comes to food, we only eat a handful of the seven million different animals which exist on this planet. But the little ones do have some advantages, they contain a lot of the nutrition we need in a day. It can actually replace meat because of its nourishment. It contains protein, amino acid, fiber, iron, calcium and vitamins. So it’s very healthy for you...

...Analysis SCI241 April 29, 2012 Week One Assignment: 3 Day Diet Analysis My current eating habits are not the greatest, to say the least. Instead of eating healthy for breakfast, such as oatmeal, fruit, and juice, I usually eat a couple of waffles doused with maple syrup and peanut butter. And I have a Pepsi. Lately I have been trying to eat yogurt with granola instead, but I also just realized that the granola is not helping me in the calorie situation. For lunch, if I am at work, I will usually order something from the cafeteria which almost always includes French fries. Sometimes I will order chicken strips, other times a French dip. Lately, I have been trying to bring leftovers from dinner to save money, and I am hoping that helps me a little bit in the calorie department. But again, I always have at least 20 oz. of soda with lunch. I have started bringing a water bottle with me to work so that I am not always relying on soda for my liquid. For dinner, a lot of the time I eat out, which I know the portions are always huge at restaurants, but I still eat it all anyways. I have tried cooking at home more often, which also (hopefully) saves some on calories. With dinner I usually have a couple cans of Pepsi. I have noticed lately that I am gaining weight also, which is very frustrating. I had been at a point that I was losing weight, and I think it is because I was not eating breakfast, and now I make sure that I do. Based on the three days’ report, here are...

...participants how to control portions and establish a well-balanced diet to support their goals. Most fruits and vegetables have a 0 point value. As one would expect, pastas, breads and potatoes have higher point values. They can earn additional bonus points throughout the day by increasing their activity or conserving points by making wise choices. When they have depleted their allowed points, they should be finished eating for the day. With this diet, the goal should be to plan food choices and or even plan the week to ensure they have enough points in their bank. If not, participants may become frustrated or even worse; they may be hungry and abandon the diet. While Weight Watchers provides participants with an all you can choose buffet, Rapid Weight Loss is very strict about the source of their foods, the amounts of calories they eat and even the volume of carbohydrates and fluids that they consume. To begin the program, participants have to commit to eating only chicken, turkey, fish, shrimp, eggs, and cheese for the first four days of the diet. Eating limited amounts of these low carbohydrates, high protein foods will force your body into a metabolic process called ketosis. Ketosis is basically when your body begins to burn fat...

...Angela Green Professor Brinkley ENGL032ON 21Feb2012 Why Juicing may be the key to Improving Your Life Did you know that most Americans don’t even come close to eating two bowls of raw foods of Day? (Calbom and Keane) This is a serious problem because many health professionals say that a person should eat seven servings of vegetables and two serving of fruits per day. (Calbom and Keane) Consequently, this brings me to my recent decision to improve my health thru nutrition and in doing so; I was introduced to the wonderful world of Juicing. Juicing is not only great tasting, but has endless nutritional benefits. Author Carol Stack wrote, that juicing allows individuals to consume large amounts of nutrients without having to eat multiple foods several times a day. (Stack) I have learned that juicing multiple vegetables and fruits at the same time allows one to consume vast amounts of vitamins and minerals that may not be achieved by eating three square meals. Therefore, it is my opinion that when an individual is able to acquire their vitamins from raw foods and enzymes; they are improving their health which ultimately will improve their quality of life. Research has shown that ingesting fruits and vegetables on a daily basis can assist with reducing an individual chance of acquiring cancer, degenerative diseases and possibly Alzheimer’s. ("Alien") Juicing provides great vitamins and minerals as well as chemicals that not only help improve health, but also protect...
