What To Eat??? #2

 As I’m going down the escalators going towards the food court I’m trying to think of what I want to eat.  When  I get off I walk forward and stand in the middle looking around as I feel the rush from the people coming and leaving the food court, the smells of different food whether its fired, steamed, or sweet. I start to walk around look at what’s left but it doesn’t call my attention so I decide to look at the detailed and colorful menus. So I’ve seemed to narrow it down to two options seafood or tacos bell.

    As I look at my watch I see I only have 20 minutes left I walk towards the seafood stand. As I approach the register the cashier tells me “before you order I just want to let you know there are no more shrimp” which made me very disappointed.I turned around and started walking toward taco bell, when I see this long line and only 10 minutes  left  of my break. Just the thought of not being able to taste either one of my favorite meals really had me in a bad mood for the rest of my day.  Time just wasn’t enough so I went back upstairs and bought a soda from the vending machine in the break room. I wipe the top of the can, open the top, i can hear the fizz of the soda, i take a nice sip, i can feel the bubbles tickling my nostrils ….. ahhh refreshing. But it never fails to take a walk to the food court and come back with nothing.

What to Eat???

Be back in half an hour (said my manager).  As I’m going down the escalators going towards the food court I’m trying to think of what I want to eat.  When  I get off I walk forward and stand in the middle looking around as I feel the rush from the people coming and leaving the food court, the smells of different food whether its fired, steamed, or sweet.

I told her thank you for your assistance but I won’t be ordering here. I turned around and started walking toward taco bell, when I see this long line and only 10 minutes  left  of my break.

Food Ethics with Yoleine Pichardo

      Hello my name is Yoleine Pichardo. Welcome to my blog. I am a 19 year old dominican girl living in Brooklyn, NY. I am attending LaGuardia Community College. For this semester I will be taking a course on how to learn how to write a research paper with my professor, Alexander.

      As our first top on food habits, I would like to tell you a little bit about my eating habits. The good thing about living in my house is that its just me and my mother, so I don't mind cooking because it's only a small amount. I actually enjoy cooking, whether it's breakfast, lunch, dinner or desert. I love to invent. I mostly get my ingredients from supermarkets such as Associated, Keyfood or Food Bazar. Vegetables and fruits are usually bought by my mother at little stands around my neighborhood since they tend to be fresher.

       I love to eat almost everything. I'm open minded to trying new things as long as I have heard about it and/or it doesn't include onions, peppers or mushrooms. One thing that scares me is that after learning some of things that we learned in this class, I feel like I'll be disgusted by the foods that I eat now. I honestly don't have any special or favorite food. The only food that I find special is my mom's food. She takes her time while making it and actually care if I eat it or not.

       I feel if I knew where my food came from, I wouldn't be as concerned as to what I eat. I would safe and comfortable and would actually get to enjoy my food because I know exactly where it came from.
