Fast Food Nation


I personally truly enjoyed reading the book Fast Food Nation. I think it’s a great book with a lot of interesting, as well as eye- opening information. The information I learned has definitely changed my perspective/view on fast food. I was extremely shocked by all the information and details that the fast food industry tries to remain hidden from the general public. While reading the book I could not believe all the chemicals fast food restaurants use in order to make their products tasty and maintain a fresh look. The amount of additives, preservatives, and artificial flavors that are in just one simple fast food meal left me speechless. I always knew fast food was unhealthy, but I wasn’t aware until what extent until I read this book. It me realize the true dangerous harm fast food can impose to our eating habits, society, and culture.

                The information I have gained from reading this book has motivated me to make some changes in my life. Being aware of the horrible cruelty innocent animals are subjects to, have changed the way I look at food. Now when I’m about to eat something I think about the animal and the way they had to be killed in order to make that meal possible. Rather than seeing the food itself I see a dead animal. As a result, I have decided to reduce my meat intake as much as possible. I also plan to avoid eating fast food by opting for healthier food choices.

The truth is that I am very shy.

My current semester is very manageable, I couldn’t be happier. I am only taking 7 units this semester. The classes which I am enrolled in are Health and English. I enjoy being in these classes mainly because my teachers are funny. I like the way they always make class interesting. The work-load for these two classes seems to be very reasonable, so I can’t complain at all about that area. Although my work load is not excessive, I have a problem managing my time. I tend to find myself procrastinating a lot. Speaking from personal experience, procrastination is not something you should opt for. I always wait till the last minute to work on my assignments and homework.  Since I work, the amount of time I have to work on my homework is limited. So when I keep on putting off and delaying my assignments and then realize their due the next day and on top of that I have to work, I begin to stress. Regardless of all that stress on my shoulders, I always manage to complete all my work even if it means missing out on a couple of hours of sleep. I convince myself time and time again that I will try my best and avoid procrastinating, but somehow I end up falling into my old habits once again.

Even though I find school to be stressful at times, I always remind myself that all this hard work will be paid off at the end when I have a brighter future. Nothing great comes easily in life. This mentality keeps me motivated in my daily struggle to become a better educated person. I know that if I work hard enough and do not give up easily I can and will achieve anything I set my mind to. Determination is the key in achieving any dream, with it I know that someday I will fulfill my long life dream of becoming a nurse.
