Alice Cooper lecture

I took very little from Alice Cooper lecture other then what it really cost the school to feed our kids. I tend to pay attention to most of the people in class and hear about their research papers and what I have read in book to have knowledge on nearly everything she was talking about. What did impress me is that she is succeeding in her endeavor to bring good healthy food to the kid in here district. I think anyone having been paying attention to our reading and you’re our other students research should have known most of the facts she talked about, but for someone with little to no knowledge in this subject should find these fact interesting and thought provoking. I really can’t use this in my research topic because I’m researching the slow food movement.  

Really Pink Taco..............Yes

The Pink Taco is uniquely themed as it uniquely named. Is not your typical hole in the wall Mexican cantina. The restaurant located in Century City, Ca. Which is surrounded by wealthy neighborhoods. This is the there 3^rd location, which opened in 2007. Lots of controversy surrounded this restaurant like having to close there second location in AZ. because of complaints over the name. Having been invited by my sister and her friends to join them for lunch. I decided to try it out, hell with a name like that why wouldn't I dig in. Arriving there I noticed that the restaurant located in a mall. After meeting my sister we sat at our table and I began to notice all the Mexican art surrounding us. The consisted of various mediums from low rider bikes to murals depicting wide array of Mexican folklore. Then after my mesmerizing moment I looked at the menu and I ordered me a Negra Modelo. After reading the menu I began to think about how good the food was going to be, because of past lackluster experiences with high end Mexican cousin. I decided to order burrito with marinated pork called al pastor. After a long wait and another beer later we received our food. Knowing my self I asked for their hottest salsa which ended up being very mild for my taste, but soon after we asked one of the other waiters who seemed Mexican if they had an even hotter one and yes since we asked him in Spanish. Soon after we drenched our meals with this hotter salsa and began to savor our meals which ended up being quit enjoyable. Overall I liked the place and the service was slow but the food and decor made up for it. Ever since this place has been visited my your truly countless times.

You are what you eat

I’ve seen other documentaries about this subject prior to reading this book. But this touched other bases that I wasn’t aware of and made me think a little bit more about our food. That being said, I’ve made changes in my life long ago. I substitute ground beef for ground turkey or ground bison. I try not to eat pork unless they are cured or in a sausage form. I began to buy free range chicken eggs. I am lactose so I don’t drink regular milk I drink almond milk I don’t care much for the whole organic food craze other then for medical reasons and taste. What made me think about this book the most was how often people get food sickness and reasons behind it, such as feces and maybe some appendages that are mixed into ground beef? But what really struck me the most was that there is little government over sight on these problems. With this election that just passed, people need to think beyond which party they belong too but really look at who is being bought out by who. Find out who really controls them. I could be our fault for choosing a person who supports the people who control our food.
