Pani puri is easily available; anyone can eat it and it refreshes your mood. Pani puri is easily available in India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and other surrounding countries.

...Cooking food in a microwave oven has always been something I’ve dreaded. Upon placing my hot pocket in the microwave and setting it to what I think is the correct cooking length (because you know the instructions are never right, especially if you have a microwave like mine that is a 900watt while the instructions are always listed for 700 and 1200watt), I take a step back and wonder whether or whether or not the hot pocket will be a block of frozen marinara sauce in the center, an overcooked piece of shoe leather, or maybe just maybe, a warm, evenly cooked, radiated, pillow of delicious pepperoni pizza. It seems that I can never remember that correct time that I had used before, as every hot pocket seems to be different. If you decide to pick up a ham and cheese hot pocket, well of course that thing is going to run all over the paper plate within the first two and a half minutes. If your mom happens to buy a meatball marinara hot pocket, you’re stuck with dense balls of processed meat and soybeans INSIDE an already impossible to cook savory pastry crust. The day where everything is just right, I worked out, already feeling good about myself, I press my forehead up to the reinforced polycarbonate microwave window and really stare that Hot Pocket down, waiting for any signs of deflation, a telltale sign of a perfectly cooked frozen baked good. After all of the rituals are finished, what lies before you is the final product. Everything you’ve learned about microwaving food sits on...

...Fast Food causes and effects The Combination of problems associated with fast food restaurants and an increase in national food consumption have resulted in negative health effects such as obesity, poor health and disease. We as Americans are always on the go; we need things fast and at our disposal. The home cooked meal is a luxury to some because many don’t have time to be home preparing meals. So fast food may be first on the list. Unaware of how the burger we just consumed, the chicken sandwich or even something as simple as a salad was produced, cleaned and transported to the fast food chain restaurants, most never worry about the health and safety risks this can cause to the body and the human population. My argument is that we should be more careful and conscientious to what we eat. Obesity has become a national issue a lot of health issues have been associated with obesity. Since 1970 the amount of fast food restaurants in businesses doubled which equates to almost 300,000 establishments in the United States. It is a coincidence that 33.8 percent of the U.S population is affected by obesity and 19 percent of children and adolescents are also affected. Meaning the more fast food restaruants we create the more likely we will frequent these establishments on a day to day to basis. Many fast food items are high in calories and grams of fat. If you purchase a McDonalds Big Mac which is 540 calories and 29 grams of fat, a Medium Fry 380 calories and 19 grams of fat...

...Food is a constant in life; we need it for energy, growth, nourishment and survival. You never really know how much food plays into our lives until you try to change the food you eat or analyze why or how you eat the food you consume. Food Psychology is the study of the mental process behind how and why we eat. Research has shown over the years that our eating habits are significantly influenced by our view and thoughts on food as well as many other social, environmental, physical and psychological factors. Anthekme Brillat Savarin sums it up greatly with the phrase “Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you what you are”. Food feeds our feelings and sometimes our feelings feed food into us more than we’d like. Food is a common denominator in life, we socialize around food, celebrate holidays with food, even going on a date we commonly find ourselves surrounded with food. Food can evoke memories of our distant past; it can arouse us, harm us or help us. Even jealousy can flair up in people due to food, one study found; “compared with things like having a coffee or talking on the telephone when their partners had lunch with an old flame, it provoked the most jealousy (Kniffin & Wansink, 2012). Psychology is a ponderous part of life as is it relation to food. Food relates to psychology because it drives how we eat, how we market food and how we connect food with experiences and memories; food can become a coping tool and therefore influence us. Food Psychology has many...

...Andrew Griffin 2/8/16 Dr. Lee Food Memoir She handed me a yellow piece paper. Crumbled up and then flattened-out again, folded every which way with blue lines now faded from all the wear and tear. On it, looked like what I can only describe as chicken scratch, in two different colored ink and even pencil marking hieroglyphs. “Andrew I need you to get everything on this list as soon as possible so go right now” she said as she frantically loads more potatoes into the oven. “Mom, the party start in like three hour and this list isn’t even in English”. She puts down the avocado she was hastily gutting like a fish and snatches the list from my hand and begins rambling off indigents ranging I have never heard off as I smash my fingers into my phone’s keyboard in a panic to copy them as these key items would not be repeated. “Mom I have no idea what a leek even looks like” I say to her bewildered at the task at hand “Andrew I don’t have time for this just go now and find them” she says as she slices a cucumber. My mother’s cooking is different in the sense that there is not a rhyme or reason for what is made. From Monday’s Homestyle chicken coated in cornflakes from top to bottom for a savor crunch in every bite dipped in country gravy to Tuesday’s mouthwatering ribs that we tear at like carnivorous beast with our hands and mouths thrashing at the meat till only bones remain, one can never guess or understand the high order or power of my mother cooking process.

...Vittor Jardim Freshman Composition 10/06/2015 Dr. Jessica Martell Food for everyone or quality food for almost all of them? Paarlberg and Salatin have very different stand of view about food production. Paarlberg defends that we should expand the production way to poor countries, in the other hand Salatin defend an organic production and that way bring a healthy life for people not just feed them. In my opinion a lot of people starve nowadays and die because they do not have what to eat it does not make sense anymore. In my opinion Paarlberg is right when he defends the industrial way to produce and would help a lot to fight against the world hunger if it gets expanded. In his text Paarlberg claims that nowadays a new trend related to food is make food ecological and healthier. In his opinion people should focus on combating world hunger. The technology that is used in the actual production (produce food with less space and resources) should be exported to poor countries where hunger is a problem like in Africa. He cited a study published by Journal of Clinical Nutrition published last year that shows that is no nutritional advantages between organic and industrial food and he cited a quote of Mayo Clinic “No conclusive evidence shows that organic food is more nutritious than is conventionally grown food.”(Parllberg 145). If it is not more nutritional, it is more expensive and hard to plant organic why we should focus in organic instead expand the technology and fight...

...The Solution to FDA Oversight Food is an essential part of everyone’s life. Therefore, there is a huge food industry that is intertwined with everyone’s life. People may not realize our relationship with food is actually quite convoluted and corrupt. This convolution and corruption are derived from food manufacturers using harmful chemicals and additives in food that could be harmful towards those who consume products containing these harmful substances. Alvin and Virginia Silverstein, authors of the book The Chemicals We Eat and Drink, both agree that all food—natural or not—are chemicals (Silverstein). However, people need these “chemicals” to survive. Ultimately, everyone will consume—at many points in their lives—processed foods that may not particularly be safe for them in terms of the kind of ingredients used. To fix this, an ultimatum must be acted upon. All chemicals and additives added to food in the United States (US) that pose any health risks should be monitored, regulated, and if necessary, banned by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the manufacturing of food products in order to increase food safety and increase manufacturing liability within the food industry. To establish my credibility, I have been researching the subject for a few months now. I have dove deep on the issue of how these harmful chemicals can be regulated and how to make the food industry a safer place by pinpointing the roots of the problem through identifying the instigators; those mainly...

...Change December 15. 2013 Change Food Politics: the political aspects of production, control, regulation, inspection and distribution of food. The politics can be affected by the ethical, cultural, medical and environmental disputes concerning proper farming, agriculture and retailing methods and regulations. Food politics is something most college students know nothing about. But without it, one bite from that burger you love from McDonalds could kill you. Do you ever stop and think about who controls what we eat, what can and cannot go into our food, or who even produces our food? Probably not. All college kids want to know is how well it tastes, the cost of it, and how much they can get in one sitting. Our food system is in place to make sure production, control, regulation, inspection, and distribution of food is met to the highest of standards. But as our world changes, so does our need for a changing food system. The American food system needs to change because it’s causing world hunger in other nations, there is a blurred line in the quality of organic food, and lastly Americans don’t even know where their food has come from. We’ve all seen those informational commercials where they ask us to donate around 20 cents a week to help the hungry in a third world country. Have you ever thought about how that country got to the state it’s in or why they can’t get out of that state? Believe it or not, the “Green Revolution” isn’t as great as most think. The revolution brought...
