“Your body is precious. It is our vehicle for awakening. Treat it with care.” –Buddha
This quote is basically trying to tell us that if we treat our bodies with care and eat the right kind of food then our body will be good to us as well. I agree with this quote because I do believe that we should watch what we eat, and take good care of our bodies by getting plenty or exercise and sleep as well. Having an improper diet can lead to health issues, and obesity is the fastest growing cause of death in America. About one out of every eight deaths are related to obesity or being overweight, and a number of people may argue that it’s caused by all these fast food restaurants serving all these junk food, yet these restaurants have added some healthy choices to their menus. Truth is, we still choose what we eat and how much we eat. -
"Part of the secret of success in life is to eat what you like and let food fight it out inside." -Mark Twain
I chose this quote by Mark Twain because i agree with what he means by this. I believe he means you should eat what you want because it makes you happy, no matter what you eat together. I think some people don't like to mix certain kinds of food and i think this goes with this quote because he is saying they will fight it out and give you the things you need from the food. The goods for you will win and the bads will loose in the fight inside. basically food will take its course no matter what you eat or in what pattern you choose to ingest.
"Never eat more than you can lift"
-Miss Piggy
This quote doesn't necessarily deal with food. This quote goes for life as well. Saying "Never eat more than you can lift" is also saying "Dont take what you cant handle." This quote is also showing that...why be greedy and try to handle what you cant because you're going to end up getting caught up. The fact is, that the more humble you are towards things the easier life is because you can make sure you can handle the things that need to be done. I feel that this quote is really saying that in life food is something to value because we eat to survive and people in the world dont have the essentials they need to survive. Life is something to value and for the greedy people in life, this quote is for you.
"Good food ends with good talk."
-Geoffrey Neighor
I feel that this quote pretty much sums it up for me. When the food is delicious, you feel full, happy, and even pleased. It is always an easy way to break the ice amongst strangers, so it always gives something to talk about, plus speaking for myself, good food always makes me smile. It's nourishment for the soul. Bad food can lead to uncomfortable silence, and make people feel awkward, or even sick. Bad food is best left unmentioned if you want to be polite, but luckily when it is great you can discuss it for hours, burn off the first plate, than (hopefully) go for round two, and end the night talking even more.
"Never Lift more than you can eat"- Miss Piggy
This quote stuck out to me because it was said by Miss Piggy! On a more serious note this quote is good because if your wating more than you can lift thats really unheathly. If you do eat alot you should even it out with alot of working out and exercising. Exercising is important to do reguardless, and eating right is also important.

"I don't even butter my bread; I consider that cooking.
" - Katherine Cebrian
I liked this quote because I believe this is very true. She is saying if you are a good cook than you do not need to hide the real taste of the food with condiments like ketchup, mustard, or salt and pepper. She is also saying if something is not broken don't fix it. I agree with her quote because if bread is good enough I never butter it either. I think this is a good way to see if the cooking was done just right. This can also be seen in everyday life. For example, when buying a product they often have a guarantee to cover up the real value of the bad product. So real bread needs no cover up it's just made perfect.
"Your body is precious. It is our vehicle for awakening. Treat it with care."
This quote by bhudda is telling us to take great care of your body. I agree on what he said because if you hadn't realize, our health is the most precious gift on this earth, and if you don't treat it with care, there are consequences.
For instance, if you keep on eatting too much, your going to be overweight, and eventually you're going to get sick. You should treat your body like it's a precious gift by eating healthy food, and drinking vitamin to keep the body healthy, becuase your body is what makes you function.
"One should eat to live, not live to eat."-Benjamin Franklin
This quote is pretty self explanitory. People now in days eat more than they need for survival and it's becoming a big problem in the U.S. Obesity is growing fast in America especially in little kids. I feel people don't care about their health and just like the tasty food. Food is good and sometimes you can't help it but to get an extra bite, but that extra bite is what will cost you. I definetly agree with this quote and feel people should be more wise on the quantity of the food they eat.
okay, well after reading Throughput, i first was under the thought that Elisa was being exploited. Now after gaining more understanding and other peoples points of view, i see more closely what is missing to fully generalize this opinion. we do not know if she goes to school, if she has to support the rest of her family, or if she is just a flat out loser. She could just work to save for her own clothes and things like that, maybe a car.
I did feel like these workers who work in the fast food industry are being taken advantage of, however most choose to work in the conditions they do. And a lot of the immigrants who come to our country would give a limb to work in these conditions compared to some other countries with no labor laws period. These people work extremely hard at what they do and they are given no credit, thats where i disagree. i think they should be getting way more credit for doing the jobs fat america does not want to do, and they are proud of it. and honest living=integrity and at the end of the day, your integrity is all you have.
"Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like prince, and dinner like a pauper," Adelle Davis
This quote is very clever, both to the mind and the body. I believe that it is always a great idea to have a great breakfast which will not only give you the nutrients to keep going during the day but it will also give the energy to keep the mind awake and going through out the whole day. Lunch then becomes secondary and fills up the space of the energy that has already been used, just to finish up the day. Once dinner is close food should become as important because there isnt much energy used while sleeping, and dinner should only contain just enough to keep you from waking up during the night. Not only should dinner be a small meal, to allow you to get a good night sleep, but if its not then our bodies are not able to burn all that fat and use up that energy it is then when all that fat and energy is stored in our bodies and we start seeing those extra pounds. Not only those this essay highlights the importance of food, but it also highlights the importance of taking care of your boday physically, mentally and internally.
"Eat breakfast like a king,lunch like a prince,and dinner like a pauper."
What this quote tells me is that breakfast is the most importaint meal of the day while lunch is the second most valuable meal of the day, and dinner is the least. I agree that breakfast is the most important meal of the day and dinner the least. The reason why I beleive this is that breakfast starts your day and i am the most busy during the morning and need more nutrients. Dinner only has to last you till bed time and all i do is sit around which doesnt require that much energy. Thats why breakfast is the most important meal for me.
"good food ends with a good talk"- Geoffrey Neighor
I really agree with this because i go out to eat alot and everytime my food is good we stay at the restaurant longes. when it tastes bad it just ruins the everything and you become in a bad mood.When the food is good you are just happy and you will just have alot more things to talk about.
"Your body is precious. It is our vehicle for awakening. Treat it with care." -Buddha
This quote has a great philosophical meaning tied with it. In some way it explains us that as we make use of a vehicle to reach a destination, in the same way, our soul with the help of the body reach its ultimate destination. We take good care of our car till we have it, so also we should take care of our body by treating it in the right way. I agree with this quote because I do believe that we should eat healthy food, do moderate exercise needed by the body, and keep it fresh by giving it a proper sleep. Ofcourse there will be many consequences if we eat unhealthy food and totally neglect our body. Not only it will lead us to obesity but also to various heart diseases. So, I again say over here that we should take care of the body because it is going to serve us till the end..
