Personal Essay

I have been reading the book Fast Food Nation and I watched Inside Chipolte.  The book and the documentary go hand in hand within the fast food industry.  With our class discussions and reading everyone's blog posts, I was thinking about incorporating this in my personal essay and discuss about what we are putting in our bodies at certain fast food restaurants (McDonalds and Chipolte).  I was also going to discuss my home life experience compared to my college life experience with food, although this maybe too much like the introduction blog we posted.  I also felt that it was important to touch on whether or not it is more expensive to run through the drive thru or create a home cooked meal.  This could lead into down the road payments with health and hospital bills.  If anyone has any thoughts on how I can improve my outline or what I plan to be discussing in my personal essay please let me know!  I'm sure some of us are feeling a bit lost or need some direction when thinking of what to write about!



Here is an article I had found that compares whether or not it is cheaper to eat out or at home
Which Is Cheaper?

    I really like how you will compare your home and life experiences with food. Thats a good idea

    Yeah, I think the more personal it is, the better. I think you could definitely incorporate some facts from the literature and documentaries, but I think it would be best for you to focus more on your own take on food and what role it plays now (and or used to play for you).

    I think you have some great ideas! I was thinking about writing about being in college and the eating habits we have now. So i think it's great you were thinking of that!

    This sounds like it will be a really interesting paper.
