Southern Food In The 1930's

After reading Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser, the readers understand why Schlosser wrote the book. Schlosser uses certain diction, and rhetoric to get his point across.

He effectively gets his purpose across throughout the entire book, he effectively informs the reader about the well-being of the many people in the fast food industry, and he effectively makes it very clear to his readers how he feels a bout fast food, Schlosser wrote this book to inform his readers about the ins and outs of the fast food industry. He wanted the readers to understand what went on behind the counters of their local

The Antebellum South had a seldom amount of doctors. Unfortunate for both slaves and their owners of this area, they lived in the marshland region, a place where mosquitoes carrying deadly diseases typically lived. Mosquitoes often spread these diseases, killing many slaves (Sullivan 1). The doctors had scarce knowledge about the deadly disease of the south and could do little to prevent the cause or spread of these illnesses. One of the suspected diseases or illnesses that the physicians claimed to harm the slaves was malnourishment.

Jem Finch In Harper Lee’s To Kill a MockingBird has a very large impact on the U.S because it is basically the sum up of what happened in the south in the 1930’s. The 1930’s was the time of the great depression and many people were poor and many people were laid off because companies couldn 't pay them. In the small town of Maycomb, Alabama it shows some of the poverty some of the families lived in and the racism in the south during this time.

Colonial Food in Philadelphia “You don’t need a silver fork to eat good food,” said Chef Paul Prudhomme. During my first few months in Philadelphia, the food of this place approved Chef’s comment as far as I knew. I did not acquire the use of forks to eat pretzels, hoagies, and the famous Philadelphia cheesesteaks. As a busy student not being able to venture out much to explore and absorb Philadelphia’s history I had knowledge of a very few obvious food choices that surrounded everyday life in Center City.

Australia experienced much diversity of cuisines as a result of the many different people living in Australia however, many different types of food didn’t become popular until much later. In 1945, 300 restaurants were operating within Australia and 23 of those were Chinese, the first international cuisine readily available within Australia. Fish and chips also became popular within Australia during the 1950’s and as it was before the time of plastic containers people had to improvise with how to carry their bought food; taking up saucepans to carry food. During the 1950’s and 1960’s meat production still relied on grazing, meaning that many people ate more beef and lamb before increasing factory methods increased the consumption of chicken. The Australian diet also dramatically changed in the 1950’s with the influx of food from Italy and Greek such as; zucchinis, capsicum, eggplants, globe artichokes and the previously maligned garlic.

Rhetorical Analysis: “Why McDonald’s Fries Taste So Good” When it comes to writing, the hardest part is getting the audience interested in what you have to say. Four techniques writers use to attract readers are the use of ethos, logos, pathos and Kairos in their text. Ethos is a method used to gain trust in the author. Logos uses facts and statistics to add credibility to the author. Pathos is used in stories or experiences to connect the readers emotionally to the text.

In the first 6 chapters, Harper Lee explores these intricate scenarios by introducing the diverse community in the sleepy town of Maycomb, Alabama. Themes of acceptance and equality are traversed throughout the novel by a combination of unique characters, and literary devices, such as suspense, character development, and conflict.

In the article, “The Pleasures of Eating”, author Wendell Berry shares his knowledge of the food industry and discusses the act of eating as part of the agricultural process. Berry asks deep questions in his article that will make the readers question what they are putting into their homes and into their bodies. Most Americans, according to Berry, can be categorized as passive consumers that are basically allowing food industrialist to brainwash them by means of advertisement.

Upton Sinclair’s, The Jungle is a novel, which affected the food industry in 1900’s but also in America today. People have learned over the years the truths about the food industry, revealed through Sinclair’s detailed evidence. Sinclair meant to aim at the public’s heart but instead he shot straight at their stomachs. One would easily be convinced to never again buy or eat meat again. Fortunately, people have seen changes from 1906 and have been currently trying to repair the Food Industry.

In “The Pleasures of Eating,” Wendell Berry addresses the disconnection between food and its consumers, and argues how food industries distance consumers from knowing where and how their food is produced, which is making the consumers ignorant. Throughout the essay, Berry wants people to have a better understanding of their food, and how it has been affected by the food culture. Consumers would buy food without any question and believe that they are not participants of agriculture, which is making the ignorant of where their food came from. Food Industrialists have been a cause of creating this disconnection by persuading consumers to buy food that have been already prepared, which leads these consumers to become less aware of how eating affects
