“Supersize me” Opinion I felt like supersize me was a great way to finally educate consumers a little bit about how their food is made and to make more conscious decisions when deciding what to eat. It also made me feel disgusted with fast food in general and made me think twice before putting my money in their pockets for something that you just put in your mouth and can’t be called actual food because it isn’t food and has little to no nutritional value. I think that this documentary goes even

The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks‚ by Rebecca Skloot‚ exposes the story of Henrietta Lacks; a black woman not only under privileged but also under medical research without her nor her family’s consent.

paragraph of “Between the World and Me” had me thoroughly confused. I had no idea where the author was going to take me and what a journey it was. To have a modern point of view of a black man’s life and how he is raising his family with today’s prejudices is extremely interesting. I don’t have any black friends‚ just coworkers that I hang out with out after work once in a while. Even though we have had some great conversations about some personal items in our life‚ I don’t believe I’ll ever truly
