...The Problem and its Settings Historical Background The occurrence of bread making has been said to have been known to man 30,000 years ago. Flour was processed into unleavened bread. Among Europian countries, diets of the people were mainly based on fats and animal proteins. Bread became staple until 10,000 years back(.http:www.google.com) The ancient Egyptians were the first people known to bake bread, around 8,000 BC. Then during the middle ages, each landlord has a bakery, which is a public oven. Housewives would prepare the dough and bring it to the baker who would lend the oven and bake the dough into bread.(http:www.nybakas.com) However, Vicent Van Dough (1882) forwarded the idea of the historical background of a bakery. He stated that the first evidence of baking occurred when human took wild grasses, soaked them in water and mixed everything together, making it into a kind of broth-like paste. The paste was cooked by pouring it into a flat, hot rock, resulting as a bread like substance. Later, this paste was roasted in hot embers which made bread making easier as it could now be made any time fire was available.(Anders Zom 1889) Seven years later, Zom reported that baking is food cooking method using prolonged dry heat acting by convection rather than by thermal radiation , normally in an oven, but also in a hot ashes or hot stove. In about 300 B.C., baking flourished...

...2nd room was a bedroom and Hagatha turned the 3rdroom into a play room for the children who enjoyed her company. Hagatha never had children but she found great joy in baking and making sweet treats for the children of her village. Every Sunday Hagatha would spend the entire day making cakes, cookies and candies to be shared with the children of York Village. After church, the children would all gather at Ms. Hagatha’s home and feast on the vast number of treats the nice woman spent her day creating. Hagatha would always warn the children against over consumption. She would tell them how even the best things in life require moderation and should be consumed in small amounts or the consequence would be unfavorable. While most of the children heeded the old woman’s advice, there were two young girls who felt the old woman was senile and was only trying to keep them from enjoying themselves. Brianna and Jessica were children of the town’s elite. The two sisters grew up in a family of privilege and were rarely given boundaries or told the word “no”. These two girls were great manipulators and their main intention was to get what they wanted. One Sunday evening, after all the children went home, the old woman went to visit...

...increased dramatically over the past years. Obesity occurs when a person consumes more food than what the body uses. It is defined as the body weight above the average for a given age and height. It affects mostly children and adolescents. According to researchers conducted in 2012, experts affirmed that seventeen percent of children in the United States were obese (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). There are many causes for childhood obesity. However, I am going to talk about the most influential reasons of it, which are: Unhealthy diet, lack of physical activity, psychosocial factors and socioeconomic problems. The most affecting cause of childhood obesity is the consummation of unhealthy food such as: fast foods, candies, cookies, snacks, etc. In addition, children are used to eat large meals and drink sugary drinks, which helps the development of obesity. Children are not being educated to eat healthy food like vegetables and fruits. There is a lack of awareness about good nutrition and keeping a balanced diet. Moreover, junk food is sold everywhere, from schools to supermarkets. Another aspect is the social media that persuade people to make bad choices about what they should eat. In fact, publicities mostly show junk food and make it seem like people cannot live without it. They constantly show how fast food makes people happy at a lower price. The persisting promotion and exposure of junk food and beverages affects a person’s decisions to make their right choice...

...female with neat black-red hair is sitting comfortably on the sofa. She is wearing a warm red turtleneck sweater with comfy grey leggings and her feet heated with a pair of purple socks covered randomly with yellow polka dots. She is ordinary and swift like a light hearted puppy; but due to stress and reduction terms of sleep, her loss of weight is obvious in the shadow of her slim shape. Her face shines the childish laughs as Ellen DeGeneres but different by the look of her skinny cheekbones and the spark of a Chocolate –Hershey bar pair of eyes. Turning on the TV and curling herself into a ball on the couch, she exclaims in delight, “Bring out the snacks and food for the New Year Show!” She is rushing me and the rest of the family to prepare since the show is starting. She is in her mid-forties as I am in my teenage years. The woman is my mother. My dad is here along with my sister and occasionally disputes erupt, but as a family, we try to ignore the pretty ugly flames that prickle our heart at times; we are all here, as always, to celebrate the New Year together. My mom and I are always there for each other. She calls me by the name, Jessica, as we are old friends. Even though time has aged my mom, she still remains in her teenage world.
