               From small to supersize fast food is majorly dangerous for different ages. One of the most fast food sold is McDonalds. The article “Let Them Eat Fat” by Greg Critter is about how fast food supersize meals are the most targets within cities and communities. I believe that supersize meals are cheap and are unhealthy for people that consume any supersize food is not the right thing to do.

                McDonalds have this major hit called the dollar menu. McDonalds and other restaurants make their food cheap and affordable for customers to consume. According to the article if the employer doesn’t recommend a supersize meal, the supersize meal is free for the customers.  If they order the supersize they would have to pay 29 cents more. Ordering food from outside home is easy way to eat something quick. For a person that doesn’t have enough time for a home cook meal the perpetration would take approximately 45 minutes, but there are people that don’t have enough time to cook when you make home cook meals you do know how many fats and nutrients you’re eating from a healthy meals rather than McDonalds.

                McDonalds and many fast food restaurants can be unhealthy to eat. According to U.S dietary, fast food meals consume over 680 calories to 1,340 calories. A normal healthy diet for females is 2,100 calories and for males is 2,300 calories. Teenagers are representing more than 1,340 calories with “adding calories themselves are protein –poor but fat a carbohydrate rich”. Teenager that consume over more than there calories factor don’t have an ability to be active with other teenagers. The re physical activity dropped about half with the teenage boys and girls. This leads to health problems such as heart attack, diabetes, high cholesterol and blood pressure. For example my brother always drinks soda and eats fast food every single day. He only weights 135 pounds, he may look skinny but he has a big health problem. When he visited his doctor on check updates they told him he has high cholesterol. The doctor recommended him to do exercise three times a week and walk more. Especially drink plenty of water and eat healthy foods.

                 In conclusion, fast food maybe cheap but it can lead to a lot of unhealthy issues to your body and health.

People don’t know what they do to the meat before they out it into the meat packaging.  In “The Meatrix” shows about the meat industry.  The agribusiness meat industries are taken over the farm industries. I believe that is really unfair to the animals and can be dangerous to humans.

The animal get mistreated bad just to feed human society. In the slaughter the burley hurt to animal buy hitting them ripping them in torn between. In The Meatrix they have shown that they cut the beaks of chicken or hens. When they cut the chicken and/or hen beak they feel for the pain over months. Not only with bird but also they mistreat the cows by cutting their tails. Animal feel the pain within weeks or month that can cause them infection towards themselves. Another example that The Meatrix shows that the animals are crowded on top of each other with no space to walk and living in the worst conditions. The pain and condition they live within every single day can cause themselves infection without knowing it would affect anyone.

Disease is caused the things we eat, the fist target is the meat. When the animals are torture and don’t have any good condition of living can produce infection. For example, in the year of 2009 there was an enormous infection called the swine flu. According to ABC news “the virus in pigs of Americas, the virus in the pigs in Asia -- got together and formed this particular virus that's now come into humans.”  Said Richard Webby, Ph.D.. This can be the cause by the antibiotic that the animals have been receiving to get the nutrients and cover the pain they been going thru months.

 Why do you think the makers of The Meatrix films used The Matrix as the basis for their arguments? What possible connections could the food industry have to the ideas in The Matrix and, by association, the themes of this course?

The markers of The Meatrix films used The Matrix as the basis for thier arguements is that people are not well informed of what they eat. they think that the animal live "happly ever after" mesaning in a good envirment. in reality they live in a horrablie mess treated place. where the animal is abused.

The matrix was about how technology can be a major influence in our life. Each person can choose what they want to do with their life and what they believe in. I believe that "The Matrix", "The Truman Show" and "The Allegory of the Cave"is showing that technology is taken control of our lifestyle. Our world choose technology to run and/or help our lives. There can be the importance, an impact and even spoiling ourselves with technology.

                 Technology  is important to our society. The reason is that we watch the news on television to get our information that is based on our community or regions. For example the election of President Obama. He was the first African American to become President. The Nation Wide first experience his winning election and his speech of address in Washington D.C  through television or on the computer. Another reason technology is important is because we humans use the internet as a social network to communicate with other people from different part of the countries. They use Myspace, Facebook, and even twitter.

                Technology have an major impact within us, the reason is that it can bring the world to destruction or we can destroy each other. For example, during World War 1,2 and the Cuban Missile crises. Every country was competing with one another based on who had the strongest weapon. Weapon of destruction are not the only problem, technology such as cell phones and Ipods can cause accidents as well. A student from Laguardia Community College  was in a accident who got run over by a garbage truck. The cause of the accident was that the student didn't listen nor watch both ways while crossing the street because he was listening to their Ipod.

                 Technology can be a negative and a positive way for our life style.

During this the 1^st to the 2^nd blog entries I need to improve my own writing. I notice I had trouble with how I need to use evidence to support my own claim. There some point I can be off from topics but I need to come back to what the theme of my essay is. Then I had explain my own reader what was my essay going to be about. For example, was the essay an argument or persuasive I need to indicate what the reader was reading.  During my blog entries from 1-4, I stared to plan everything out with layout my ideas and structure the right information into the right paragraph. In blog 6 I didn’t have enough time nor read the instructions more carefully to do my essay. Last but not least, I felt I need help on my grammar based on how clear my sentences was and how I put or place my punctuation such as: column, commas, periods, and etc.

 On my 2^nd blog entries I know we worked on watching two movies such as the Truman Show and The Matrix. In all our blogs we were able to using the dictionary, thesaurus and the writing handbook. I really enjoy looking up new words and even replacing them with something better. All our work was in live discussions which were interested because we were able to read and learn from different points of view. But really it had me worry about what to write down. There were some problems I had, it was based on what to I write down on my essay. Being on the computer it’s kind of difficult to type I really enjoy writing my essay and an outline based on what to write down, instead of typing the essay. There was a point in class that I learned to use an outline what I need to write down on my essay based on the program you introduce to us. I need to improve and break some bad habits. The last thing I should not do is cut off some major distraction while I’m on the computer is not connecting myself to Facebook. I know this is the worst habits because it would make me lose my concentration towards my work. There are things that I would need to improve such as: work on time, rereading the information or stuff I write down and even go to tutoring more often. I understand there are major fix up to do with my essay and even to revise all of my work before submitting or posting it into my blogs. Well now im back from my break I would keep my head on the game.

PS. Dr. smith i couldnt find my blue handbook where i wrote down my essay but i rewrote something diffrent.

Thesis: Reality show a major influence towards children’s and teenagers life.

In the article “The Danger of Reality T.V. by Tomothy Sexton is about how reality television can send wrong messages and influence for the young viewer. I believe that reality show can be a major influence towards children’s and teenagers life. Reality show is always based on values of image over ability, competition to what you want and you don’t need any longer education to get somewhere.
