Descriptive Writing: My Wendys Experience
We piled into the car, as the all too familiar stench of day old burgers and fries began to fill the space around us. What was once a vibrant bright red, was now a dim and faded "W". I glanced at it in the rear view mirror as we drove away, and the sign read " endys". A flimsy off white and red paper thing bag that contained our dinner, which consisted of of questionable meats an dpotatoes, rested on my lap. I could feel the grease seeping through the bottom of the bag, creating what appeared to be a puddle of oil. I was beginning to regrettonight's dinner.

Welcome to Amanda's Blog
Hello everyone, my name is Amanda and I am currently a student of Professor Alexander's English 101 and 103 Research Methods: The Ethics of Food classes at LaGuardia Community College and this is my first official blog!
I can be a particularly picky eater when it comes to dairy, meats and vegetables. I purchase my groceries from any one specific store, but whichever supermarket is closest to me at the time. Many times, my groceries will consist different meats, a dozen eggs, a generous amount of fruits, very little vegetables and a whole lot of junk food! I have only tried Organic and whole food products very few times and I am not quite sure where I stand because I AM a fan of the unhealthy things in life.
I do believe food is my guilty pleasure and I sometimes tend to over indulge, whether it be pasta, steak, fresh fruits or grilled veggies.. the more the merrier. If you dare ask me to choose a single favorite unhealthy snack we would be here all day. To keep it simple, i like my snacks cheesy, greasy and definitely messy. Cheese fries, hot dogs, cheese nips, potato chips, pizza, burgers and chocolate are only a few of many of my favorite things to munch on (before and after dinner).
Though it is rare that I cook at home, I do enjoy it every once in a while. I have never really been concerned about where my food comes from before it reaches the kitchen table. Before now I've yet to ask myself if what I eat is really any good for me and how it may effect everyone and everything around me. Could eating too much of one thing really be so bad?
