Food # 4

On Tuesday, when i was riding the train back home, i was drinking a bottle of water and chewing 3 pieces of gum. When i got home that day it was 6:30pm and my parent already ate. My father save me some food and i ate alone. I was watching family guy while my mom went to school, my dad playing a card game and my brother doing his homework. The dishes taste like my dads cooking becuase there were the taste of soy sauce and vegtable oil being used. The food was salty and i know my dad loves making salty food to eat. While i was eating dinner i drank a lot of water when i am not suppose too. i texted my friend when i am not aloud to use my phone during dinnertime but just for that day i was eating alone. I felt great eating by myself becuase i can hog up the televison and i dont need to listen to my parent talking.

I skip Wednesday breakfast becuase i wasnt in a mood to eat but my mom force me to eat. During lunch i ate american foods while eating with a fork. I was playing cards game with my friend which i dont do at home. And for dinner, we ate noodles using chopsticks. We watch my mom favorite tv show.

Food Culture # 3

We lived very different from other chinese culture. We must eat dinner no mater than 5: 30 pm from Sunday to Thursday. From Friday to Saturday, we can eat dinner any time. This is not a tradition for our family, my parent thinks it is better to eat early because you can digest faster and sleep earlier for school. My father prepares the food becuase he use to pwn a resturant in China. We use chopsticks on every meal such as noodles, rice, hot pot. On fast food sometimes we use our hands or fork to eat. We use spoon to eat congee. When dinner is all set, we must drink our soup first then eat some fruits. This way we can get full easily and dont have to stuff ourself at the last minute. While eating dinnerm my parents and my brother will fight for the t.v or we will talk about what we have on mind. We mostly have dicussions as we are eating, then evetually i will start a fight with my brother. When there is a movie or tv show we like, we eat slowly and my mom will just shut off the television, but when she has her favorite show on, she eat slowly and we couldnt do anything about it.

When it comes to eating dinner i will be the first one at the table. I am always the first one to finish my meal then get back to my work. My brother will always be the last one to the dinner table because he spends his time on his stupid game. My parents paste their time eating and it is pretty funny how my parents will spend little more time trying to finish eating something when there aint much to eat.

I can now see that chinese family takes their time picking out tiny meat from the bone and finish it. They dont like wasting fooods. When it comes to drinking soup my mom will always give us a straw to drink, so we dont have to drink the fats. For me and my brother, we are adapted to the american food way. We eat quickly, we must drink something while eating dinner and sometimes use our hands to eat. We dont carry our bowl while we eat when we have too. I personally doesnt focus on foods that much, thats why my health arent that healthy. I need to control my eating.

My family has a fridge fill with chinese medicine because we survive differently. For instance, whoever is sick, we didnt have to waste time to go the doctor or supermarkert to get medicine. We have our own collections. Everyday when i came home from school, there will be three more bags of vegtables. i think being very healthy is so important nowdays because we can survive easily and live longer.

More than millions of people suffer from illness and health insurance wont even help them. i read this article that stared that americans are currently being held in correctional facilites across the country which suffer a much higher rate of illness. A lot of people are trying to get away and find a new way to gain their life back. http://health.usnews.com/articles/health/healthday/2009/01/16/many-in-us-prisons-lack-good-health-care.html.

My own health care

At class we were watching this tv show that explains the national wealth policy. All over the world people are tryna maintain their health in a good way, but some dont. A lot of ameircans tries to get health insurance to help them with their lives. I didnt know much about health insurance or food stamps, until i realize that many people needs it, for their health.
i went home and ask my mom if i ahve insurance. she said i have medicare. ANd i use to have this disease and medicare helps me to cover the payment. it feels good to have a health insurance to help you with your life. My dad just came back from the doctor and his medicare wont help him because he is too old.
The movie makes me sick seeing many people wont be able to ahve an insurance of them own. How people travels to other people to find health care. It just makes me wanna hate myself and the world for being so greedy. It is not fair to other people. iT doesnt feel right.

Musical Chairs Defines Wealth

Poverty is the shortage of common things such as food, clothing, shelther and drinking clean water. According to Mollie Orshansky, who developed the poverty measurement used by the U.S government , he thinks the poor is to be deprised of those goods and services and pleasures with others around them. Poverty may affect individuals or groups, and not confined throughtout the nations. Poverty is manifest in a set of social problems including homeless and housing clusters. Poverty is usually measured as either absoulte or relative poverty. Absolute poverty refers to a set of consistent overtime. Economic aspects of poverty focus on material needs, such as the use of daily living, foods, clothing, shelter or water. Poverty in this sense may be understood as a conditon in which a person or community is lacking in the basic needs for a minimum standard of well being of life.

Poverty in the United Stated is a major problems. Over 40 billion people are living below the poverty line. Americans are homeless due to drug, illness, low education and diseases. We cant blame it on the poor people for being stupid, the problems is that the poverty produces theese stupid drugs to cause people problems, but i think i can blame on those people that drop out of school with no knowledge at all.

In class we demonstated how poverty works by muscial chairs. Through musical chairs the games goes like this. There are numbers of people on the classroom and chair are being set in the middle of the room. Depending how many people there are, a seat will be taking away. throughtout the gamem someone and a chair will be taken out, there were reserveed chair for certain people that are never removed. SOme people just gave us, some didnt care but still had the change to win. For example, kevin cound manage to find himself a seat thought he doesnt care. at last people were fighting for the chair and only one winnder claim to be hogging up the power. all the chair represnted all the americans wealth. and there were this other activity that demonstates the shate of national wealth. People that share chair has a 20percent of wealth and the people with 3 chairs holds 60 percent of the wealth.
