One thing i liked that they mentioned is that they have 100 local and regional farm-fresh products including fruits, vegetables, herbs, plants, and flowers at competitive wholesale prices and quantities. So instead of going to eat unhealthy foods you can get healthy foods for low price which keeps you healthy. So there easy to locate which doesnt force you to go out your way, and to serve you foods that willl help you grow correctly. Instead going out to mcdonaldsand eating these greasy fat foods that will afecct your body, with fat and no nourishment you can pay cheaper to get healthy foods. I have experience from eating fast foods they leave pimples, and make you gain fat in many areas ,and are not healthy for the heart. Just as a movie i viewed in highschool supersize me which shows the affect fast foods can have on you. Wouldnt you want to eat healthy and pay the same price. They includr such great foods such as cucumbers, cabbage, brocoli, corn, egg plant, beans, potatoe, spinach and many other healthy foods. So instead of going to fast foods that destroy youy body keeping you unhealthy, i would go with these type of healthy foods.

As i reviewed all my blogs i have noticed i completed most but didnt complete all the blogs that i was assigned. Also as i reviewed my blogs i could see the building of my writing from blog 6 to blog 16. I use to create essays with out indenting incorrect pronunciation, no paragraphing , and not answering directly what the author was mentioning in his essay. Thanks  to Doctor X and the method of blogging she helped me become a better writer then i was in the past. We were told to do several tactic such as proofreading others work to see the mistakes, and also see great techniques other writers had so we could become better writers. The proof reading method allowed me to go back to my work and correct the errors in my writing, and include better tactics to enhance my writing. When i viewed my old blogs i would write about a topic and give irelavant information not pertaining to the story leaving readers confused. Now when i look at my writings now i state what the author is trying to explain, also giving at least two examples from experience or from noticing that cocucld help you let readers know what they are mentioning in the essay. What i should have done was reread all the past blogs i have written and correct them making alll my blogs up to date showing the improvement i had from earlier this year. As i looked back at my blog 6 if that was the actual catw i dont think i meet the requirments to pass the test. I recently jus took the catw thanks to the blog i think i use the correct methods to pass the test, and im about 85 percent sure i passed thanks to the lessons from Doctor X, and the blogs

Part 1

  This summary explains about the men and women from Mexico, Central America, and South East Asia that migrated from there homelands to seek oppertunity. They searched for job's and many of these people turned to meat packing jobs. They called this factory the Slaughter House giving the job a good empression on what  conditions the job offered. The workers where payed  $9.25 cents per hour which is right above poverty wages. This job had its affects as you can see it described that average worker quit, or was fired every three months. So it explains the harsh conditions that these immigrants faced. I could imagine how many of these immagrants felt over worked, tired but was left with no choice but to work. I worked at mcdonalds and thought that was tough labor, these workers often where  injured, sick,or even faced amputations for minimum wage jobs.

Since we evaluated peoples writing's as a group i found out that its good to have strategy in your writing, with well transition and structure to  point readers  into the right direction. Also i learned that you must be very specific in explaining the details you include in your writing. It occurs at times that people jump from one poinit to another leaving readers lost in the writing.

How to do one thing at a time 

This summary identifie's that we shouldn't multi task, since our brain's have congitive limits. Yet people are working while on the phone, or multi tasking decreasing there lack of focus. Which can result's into you being less productive. Then multasking can become more dangerous when texting while driving, or talking on the phone. That make's it very dangerous for people's lives thats are on the road. Since you are multi tasking it makes you get carried away from a your other task, which can be driving resulting into some ones life. So it shows what degrees multi tasking can have on us. So its alway's better to do a task according to sequence.

  What i like the author mentions is that it was proven by Professors at Stanford University  for some students to multi task, and other students to focus on there main task. The students that performed there main task with out multi tasking exceeded way better, and had better memory. I felt that was a very significant idea to prove we shouldnt multi task, due to the lack of focus. Us humans have a certain amount of task our mind can work on. So it's jus better off to take it task by task by completing it according to sequence.

 I am proof to explain that multi tasking can be very defective. I am a sales associate at macy's and work with selling woman shoes. There where days like black friday i would be faced with up to ten customers at the same time.Customers complaining they have been waiting to long for shoe's, resulting into me being less productive. When the days go by smooth and i can serve one or two customers at a time i am always being productive. so thats proves that doing task according to sequence is proven to be better.

 The most interesting idea in this article is the devolpment of how fast food originated. In this article it explains how the poor who have no home food go out for cheap fast foods, and as time accumulates businesses notice this is what people are spending there money on. So buisnesses create new fast food restaurants, giving great advertisments and deals which gives them lots of recognition. What i dont agree with is that they say young black men spend most of there money on fast food. People all around the world even if there black, white, chinese, or latino consume there money on there own specific fast foods, giving fast food more recognition.

 What i never noticied was that many teenagers are protien poor but fat , and carbohydrate rich. This is due to the fact of all the supersizing, and overdosing of fast foods making teenageers unhealthy. This gives a high percentage of obiesity in our communities. At the end of the day its the people choice, we all have the right to choose what we eat. So all these fast foods actually are you using good buinsess tactics making americans want to spend on there buisness.

  What this article reminds me of is a movie called supersize me. In this movie called supersize me it views a man that was perfectly healthy according to doctors. It would view this man eating mcdonalds for the two months for breakfast, lunch, and dinnner. As time grew and he consumed mcondalds his blood pressure was rising, he gained 25 pounds in two months, and had lots of body fat making him completley unhealthy. Showing the criticism that nutritions had against mcdonalds or even fast foods.

 After this article i wouldnt recommend that you stop eating fast food. I would jus recommend that you would balance how much you choose to eat fast food. If you choose to eat some thing to much or even take medicine to much there can be side affects to overdosing. Just as the side affect this man in supersize faced obiesity throwing up, and high body fat. Fast food is a verry taste experience and i dont go against it, but i go against to much consuming of fast food.
