Answer: “I know you want me,” whispered my favourite type of Avocado, seductively pouting in response to the desire that I, so obviously, felt for her, “you can’t lie to yourself anymore…” Her tone grew bitter, “I know Peanut Butter has given you things that I could never give you, but I guarantee she’d look ridiculous next to you in a salad.”

Peanut Butter sat on the counter, risking hopelessly desperate glances in my direction. “How… could you do this to me?” she started, “after all we’ve been through?” My mind flashed back to all of those precious moments I’d spent whispering my deepest desires to her, both of us sprawled across the silk sheets, elegantly draped over my mattress. “I want you now, in my mouth… on toast, in a smoothie, heck, even out of a tablespoon,” she loved being eaten out of a tablespoon. “I just need you. You’ve seen how much of a wreck I am without you: deficient in healthy fats and protein. We can’t let that happen again.”

Every word I told her was the truth; me stripped down to my raw essence. But now, here I was, about to choose Avocado, who I had only known for a week, over my high-school sweetheart. Karma would never let that go, I decided. I had to follow my heart, not my taste buds. “I don’t love you, Avocado.” An abrupt intake of breath was met by a stunned silence from Peanut Butter. But after a second it all levelled down to one sound: nothing.

But then, the desperate sound only a fruit can make cut through the emptiness like a double-edged sword, “That’s not what you said last night,” let out Avocado. “You told me a lot of things, didn’t you?” She winks at Peanut Butter, “but as far as I can remember, that

    A person needs to understand that when they consume a product there is always a nutrition facts label on the back that states how many servings are in a product and the single serving amount. The nutrition facts are represented for what a single serving contributes. An example of serving size is if a person eats a whole jar of peanut butter in one sitting, they are consuming fifteen servings of that product. Calories are another item that a person needs to view when they look at the nutrition facts label. When a person eats a serving size of peanut butter which is two tablespoons, they are consuming 190 calories, the fat calories of that single serving is 140 calories. So if a person eats 4 tablespoons of peanut butter they are eating 380 calories of peanut butter with a total of 280 fat calories. Limiting nutrient intake of an item such as saturated fat is a recommended thing to do to make sure that a person does not go over the recommended daily allowance and to maintain a healthy well balanced lifestyle. It is also important to make sure that a person is getting the right amount of a particular nutrient. For example vitamin A, C, and E are all important nutrients that many people lack in their diets. Making sure that these are all included in foods people eat will make them healthier and even prevent against some diseases. At the end of the nutrition facts label is called the foot note. Many people overlook that part or when they read it do not understand what they are viewing. When reading this people needs to understand that it is a %DV that is based on a 2,000 calorie diet. Understanding the percent daily allowance is making sure that a person is not going over or being under a particular item.…

    In order to persuade Pluto to return Proserpina to her mother, the gods sent Quicksiver, to Pluto's dominion. Unwilling to give up, Pluto tried one last time to offer Proserpina a bite, of something to eat, which she kindly declined. All Proserpina longed for was fruit, from her mother's own garden, and so, that is what Pluto searched for. But, sadly, all he could find was a withered old pomegranate, which he eagerly presented it to her. Proserpina knew she could not eat the pomegranate, so she decided to just smell it, but, before she knew it her teeth were sinking into the withered fruit's flesh. Subsequently, after Proserpina tasted to pomegranate, Quicksilver took Proserpina and brought her above ground. With every step she took the grass and grain grew, and all the animals in the land came to feast upon the green, freshly grown, food they had been without since Proserpina was gone. Proserpina began to cry with joy as she saw her mother, hopelessly sitting on the doorstep of their…

    We’ve heard time and time again during our lives how important it is to eat fruits and vegetables or to have a well-balanced diet. We also know how hard it can be to ensure that you are eating enough of the right thing. Are fast food restaurants as bad as people make them seem? How do you know if your diet contains all of the essential vitamins and minerals? The answers to both of these questions lie in the results from the three-day food intake assignment I participated in. Using the information I recorded in IProfile, I was able to record my intake of protein, carbohydrates and lipids, the amount of fiber intake, and notice pattern or trends in my diet that could be modified.…

    This profession could undoubtedly be useful in American society today, says Pollan, but not in the way it is used now. The problem is this: “[A] serious weakness of nutritionist ideology is that it has trouble discerning qualitative distinctions between foods. So fish, beef and chicken . . . become mere delivery systems for varying quantities of fats and proteins” (p. 6). In an effort to consume nutrients in a controlled way, foods are altered; therefore, subtracting the natural interaction of the nutrients and the body. This concept is hand-in-hand with Berry’s claim. Consumers of the food industry are left in the dark as to what they are putting in their bodies—the nutritionist that is now necessary is one who educates consumers on how to cook meals with ingredients rather than deciphering the nutrition label on processed foods. To this, Janet Wojcicki explains food concerns more than…
