Food is an important part of our lives because we need food to survive as well as satisfy our hunger. Food is a necessity but it may not be available to everyone because it’s also kind of expensive. Among other things food can be used to fill a void that nothing else can fill, such as: relationships, dieting, and self-esteem. Some people eat more food when they get depressed because it helps them feel a sense of control and comfort foods help us through our difficult times. Food can be used as a weapon, enemy, or friend, people starve themselves, eat too much food, and they use food to draw people in.
I enjoy food because I love to eat. When I think of food I think of cake, chicken, cupcakes, shrimp, plantains, peaches, strawberries and all my favorite foods. The ideal meal for me would be eating a meal that I prepared, with my closest friends and family members. This would consist of my mother, sisters, and closest friends. I wouldn’t like friends there that cause too many problems and friends that are natural. I would prepare Shrimp Alfredo with garlic bread with an additional order of plantains, rice and beans, with chicken. For dessert we would have flan or some type of cake. I would like for us to be sitting on the beach at night watching the stars and reflecting on the many things we were blessed with.
There are foods that I enjoy more than others such as: chicken, with macaroni and cheese and candied yams. I also enjoy plantains and steak and other meat. I decide if I enjoy food based on the taste, smell, and presentation of the food and if I enjoy it I do a little dance. When I eat certain foods my stomach feels differently. When I eat rice and beans my stomach feels bubbly, which means I need to take a trip to the bathroom. When I eat sweets I feel energetic and my stomach feels fine and when I eat salad I do not feel that my hunger is satisfied. My satisfaction is very important because when I really like certain foods I eat that same food over and over again, never getting tired of it. There are so many ways to make food using similar meats, and vegetables.
Raven,
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed the description of your ideal meal (only person to take it to a starry beach) and the effect on your stomach of various meals.
First paragraph seemed to lack purpose - started out one way, and then ended up talking of various ways food can be used. Take it further - deepen what you've got here. This would have been a good first draft that would have benefitted from a few more sharp sentences per paragraph.
